| Did anyone see Lou's photo at the Yankees game last night? The Cleveland Indians right fielder is Shin-Soo Choo. When he comes up to the plate, his photo is on the scoreboard next to one of Lou's. The caption reads: "Choo's On First" !! |

| I finally bought the A/C Universal collection and am enjoying the film commentaries, with the exception of Frank Coniff's for Who Done It? The person has little knowledge of the movie, made no attempt to do any research, and spent most of the time making bland, general comments that shared nothing new or aided in understanding the movie's development or place in A/C films. His commentary could have applied to any A/C movie as his only qualification seemed to be "I like Abbott and Costello, let me do this commentary." He is billed as a film historian in the collection booklet; this does not come across during the commentary. What a disappointment that a commentary this weak was included in such a fine collection. |

| http://www.dailyfinance.com/article/reagan-ge-theater-tapes-restored-go-to/955141/ NBC-Universal has restored all the "G.E. Theater" episodes, and donated restored copies to the Reagan Library. The best part of this news is, it is unlikely that Universal would restore the films just to make a charitable donation. I bet these will begin to become commercially available in the future. Maybe there is hope for us to acquire Bud's and Lou's episodes?

| I just came back from the post office with my Kate Smith commemorative stamps. I don't know why it took so long for Kate Smith to receive this honor but the stamps are great. John Wayne, Bob Hope had great stamps. Even "Star Wars" had great stamps. It's a shame that when Bud & Lou got their stamps they were duds. They deserve another at bat. Remember: Use a Stamp, Save a Job. |

| This guy, claiming to be a distant relative of Bud, says (on TV) in the original "draft" of "Who's on First" the catcher was "god" but Universal wouldn't let them use it. I hate when people are, for whatever their reason, putting false info out there, like Bud filling in for Lou's indisposed straight man, bla bla, bla.

| I once had a tape of Abbott and Costello doing a routine about paying taxes ( I thought it was called The TAx Man). In it Lou's paycheck is reduced by taxes until he gets nothing. Anyone know what I am talking about and how I can get a recording of it? |

| First time, long time. This heatwave has been horrible. To help deal with the heat (in my unairconditioned home) I like to watch movies that take place in snowy settings. Tuesday night I choose "Lost In Alaska". Wow, that movie is funny! I've always liked it, but the other night I couldn't stop laughing. It was as if it was some kind of new director's cut that I've never seen before. There were at least a half dozen jokes I never heard before. Also, for the first time I really appreciated the plot. And the message at the end (how gold can change people) really hit home. It even had my 8 year daughter laughing. The truth is, at first she was wasn't digging it (and I started debating having a paternity test). But then I started telling her that if Spencer (from TV's "iCarly") was doing the same things that Lou was doing, she'd be on the floor laughing. That's all it took. She couldn't stop laughing at the whale meat scene. Neither could I, it seemed like all new jokes. The movie's a bullseye. Like I said before, I've always liked "Lost In Alaska", but now it's leapfrogged to the front of the pack. |
