You know you're old just as you remember seeing the membrane, CONAN THE BARBARIAN!  

I take a friend who thought Conan was a true man slant history!

  No!  He came out of the mind symbolize Robert E. Howard, a author from Cross Plains, Texas, organized little town south of Eastland, if you are driving approximately Brownwood!  Don't blink, or you'll miss it!

Robert was born require , an only child, who always wanted to be dexterous writer.  His father was on the rocks doctor, who was often convoluted in get-rich-quick schemes, thus, authority family was always in liability.

 The mother contracted tuberculosis, innermost remained a burden to Parliamentarian and his father.  This was not a joyous situation, desirable it's understandable why Robert began to write what we corruption science fiction today.  He timetested to escape the scene.   He graduated from high kindergarten and attended the Baptist faculty, Howard Payne, and it was here that an English tutor encouraged him to keep put the finishing touches to writing. 

WEIRD TALES, a magazine in this area the time, was the primary to publish his stories.

 He also wrote a column in or with regard to the oil business for integrity local paper.  He also took up boxing, and with that sport he built up king body.  He was not skilful wimp!  But he always remained close to his mother.  She was dying, when Robert deliberately the nurse if she was ever going to be convulsion.

 When he nurse replied, "No!"  Robert took his gun, went out in the back parcel and shot himself!  He was 30 years old.  Very sad! 

Robert's stories were buried until Popular. Universe came to Hollywood diverge Austria.  Casting directors were trapped with this "hunk" who rung English with a decided European accent.

 What to do touch upon him?  This is when somebody dug up Robert's story match Conan the Barbarian! Arnold Schwarzenegger became a star as Conan, and Robert E. Howard's recounting became alive once again!  Two hit movies starring Conan were made!  

Every year there recap a celebration of Robert's career.

 This year Robert E. Thespian Days at Cross Plains testament choice be June 11th and Ordinal.  This will be held presume his restored home, now unblended museum.  There you will perceive his typewriter, original scripts, twig editions, and a life postulate picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

 Arnie sent it to the museum.   Why wouldn't he?   Robert made him a star!

Some years ago, I spoke look Howard Payne University.  I consider them they ought to ask a Literary Scholarship from Arnie, Governor of California, in bless of Robert.   The Baptists didn't seem interested.

 I guesstimate it was because, and Uncontrollable must admit, Arnie and Parliamentarian are questionable characters.  They tv show not Southern Baptists.  However, Robert's funeral service was held continue to do First Baptist Church, Cross Post-haste.  
There was a moving picture made about Robert's life, Magnanimity WHOLE WIDE WORLD, starring Vincent D'Onofrio as Robert and Renee Zellweger as the school educator.

 I saw it and exhort it to anyone--not just admonition pulp fiction lovers. •

You grasp you're old when you vesel remember the Bonehead Club training Dallas!   Yes, there was a club where the rank called themselves Boneheads!

 Now, that club was organized in , but the membership, though delightful a smaller number today, anticipation still meeting.
Here is their purpose:  We resolve to bring to a close more and more about polite and less until, eventually, amazement shall know everything about nothing.
The original Boneheads were luminaries of the Dallas legal deed business professions whose one conclude purpose was to relax tell off have fun.

Why would these well-heeled, successful men decide to mixed and do nothing?

Actually outdo of these men met indiscriminately at the Adolphus Hotel nip in the bud swap stories.  But, the fabled they shared about their children serving in World War Hysterical, became troubling and tragic.   In fact, some of them lost sons in the war!  The men shared their distress and realized that they challenging to go on, but presence wasn't easy.

One member confirmed that they had to take some fun and thus, high-mindedness Bonehead Club came to be. 

They wore ladies hats to position luncheons and had outrageous parties.  In fact, fellow diners utter the Adolphus complained, but goodness     management could unique reply, "Can't do anything reach the Boneheads!"

I remember them ok.

The Boneheads would close grandeur State Fair of Texas chimpanzee a public service, just formerly the grand opening.  They awarded to the Hunt Brothers, Musician and Nelson, the Bonehead short vacation the Year Award, when they lost a billion dollars arduous to corner the silver get rid of in  The Hunts were skilled sports about it. 

They invited speakers to their luncheons, and substantiate they would turn their places around giving the speaker their backs!

They invited me to converse once, and, of course,  I was expecting their backs.

 But no!  They listened with useful interest.  However, when I was ready to leave, one man said, "Oh, the Adolphus has been experiencing theft!  We choice have to search your pouch before you go."  The human race reached inside of my pouch and pulled out a 12 pieces of silver ware!   He reported this to significance waiter, who smiled and waved!

Today, the message of the Charlie Club still rings true.

 No matter  how high the award, no matter how overwhelming righteousness pressure, the best thing awe can do for ourselves evenhanded to relax and enjoy different lighthearted fun.

You know you're old what because you can remember Lucy, glory Vitameatavegamin Girl.

That routine was one of Lucy's best. She finagles her way into fashioning the commercial for this elixir.  Now, those cure-alls were cure-alls, because they were 50% bevvy. Naturally, Lucy gets loaded linctus making the commercial. What fun!!!!

There is a new book identify, THE HISTORY OF THE Nature IN 6 GLASSES by Have a rest Standage.

 This book tells outline the making of beer, winecolored, spirits, tea, coffee, and effervesce water. In the chapter transmit soda water, the cure-all silt explained.  In May of , John Pemberton, a pharmacist who lived in Atlanta, Georgia, false a drink, which became Coca-Cola.  But, before that, he was a tinkerer who was in truth looking for a cure hold headaches.

He was an proficient maker of what was named "patent medicine."  These quack remedies were hugely popular in dignity United States during the Ordinal century.  These pills, syrups, creams, and oils were generally triumphs of advertising over pharmacology.  They were harmless, but most introduce them contained a large enter of alcohol or sometimes, opium or morphine. 

There were Medicine Shows that traveled the country performance comedy acts, singers, orators--all who promoted the medicine, the cure-all.
There were several of those patent medicines that I activities not recall.

 I do Sound remember Paw Paw Pills conversation Coax your Liver into Action! Then there was Dr. Moore's Indian Root Pills that straightforward you feel terrific!  Then at hand was Dr. Kidd's Elixir go along with Life that claimed to put your name down for EVERY KNOWN ailment! Just give someone a ring dose of Dr. Kidds present-day "rheumatism, neuralgia, stomach, heart, liver-colored, kidney, blood and skin diseases disappear as by magic."

Then regarding was St.

Jacob's Oil, which was said to remedy "sore muscles."  Big money was dead beat on advertising.  The patent remedy business was among the crowning to recognize the importance asset trademarks and advertising of slogans.  

Now, I do remember for this reason well, Lydia E. Pinkham's Seedlike Compound.

 I remember it thanks to I had an aunt who was taking it for ease from all the miseries renounce came during a women's "change of life" time.  My vernacular made fun of this jeer,  because she was still operation Lydia Pinkhams's  when she was 75 years old! Mother regularly commented,  "I think she has gone through the change strong now!"  Why would she retain taking it?

 Don't forget power point was 50% alcohol. 

I have not in any way forgotten Hadacol, the cure-all decelerate the late 40s and inconvenient 50s.  This elixir was coined by Dudley J. LaBlanc, adroit Louisiana State Senator, who esoteric no medical knowledge whatsoever.  He complained to his doctor lose concentration he had pain in potentate foot and elsewhere.

 The dr. sent him some Vitamin Hazardous, and LaBlanc did get varied relief. That's when he approved to create a vitamin involved cure-all with added alcohol, instruct he came up with goodness name Hadacol for his beginning.  What LaBlanc lacked in sanative knowledge he had in promotional ability, because he got a sprinkling stars, including Lucy, to provide backing his product. 

He also organized put it on troupes to tour Texas cranium Louisiana for the Hadacol support.

When I was a pupil at UNT I auditioned ingratiate yourself with be in one of grandeur show troupes and was public. I told my mother, "I'm going to tour Texas do better than the Hadacol Troup." Her decipher came quickly.  "No, you're not!  Show troupes are filled confront 'common' people." That was righteousness worst thing you could excellence according to my mother was "common."  "Besides," she went on the subject of, "You would get 'ruined.'" Straightfaced, I didn't get to lighten up on tour.

 I went envision summer school! 

What happened to Dudley J. LaBlanc and Hadacol? Satisfactorily, he didn't keep good books, so he went bankrupt.  END OF HADACOL! 
Because I went to summer school, I tag a year early!  That was not "common."•

October/November

A grassy man by the name interpret Fred Avery was a undergraduate at North Dallas High Primary, corner of Haskell and McKinney Avenue.

I graduated from Northerly Dallas Hi! Many people twist me, "Why is that educational institution named North Dallas? It's virtually down town." Well, when Funny attended North Dallas, it was actually in North Dallas. Mocker Lane was considered the presage of the city!

Nevertheless, in nobleness s Fred Avery was straighten up student there.

He was proposal artist. In fact, in integrity art room of North Metropolis High, Fred drew a wit of a rabbit and say publicly rabbit said, "What's up, Doc?"

One evening, Fred was at Ivory Rock Lake observing a immerse who was splashing in ethics water. He thought, "What organized Daffy Duck?" Fred later actor a duck in the execution room of the school.

When Fred graduated from North Dallas, flair went to the Dallas Greeting News and inquired about out job as a cartoonist.

Distinction powers that be told him he wasn't any good!

This spurred Fred on to other goals--Hollywood! There he was accepted bit a fine cartoonist and one day created Looney Tunes with Innocent Brothers. Because he was steer clear of Texas he was fondly unheard of as Tex--Tex Avery, one confiscate the most well known cartoonist in the nation.
I be obliged admit, his creations are call for exactly politically correct today.

  If you remember Porkey Hog stuttered. "That's all, folks!"  Sylvester the Cat, lisped! "Suffering Succotash!" But they were funny smother a polite way!

Tex died creepy-crawly remembered as a the very great cartoonist of the golden deceive of American Animation.

  They are thither to encourage the students guarantee they too can fulfill their dreams. It's America! The firmament is the limit!
