You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.
Charles Manson

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

I liked Malden in "One Eyed Jacks" with Marlon Brando.
They both started out together as bad guys.
Malden went straight--Became a sheriff--- wife , good looking daughter.
Brando shows up & "befriends" the daughter.
Malden takes offense.
Great movie.
Slim Pickens in there too.

For youngun's like us, the only role I remember him in was the American Express commercials.
