Denzil Me Old Mucker! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
To celebrate Paul Barber’s birthday I watched his first Only Fools and Horses episode, Who’s a Pretty Boy, to whit (is it whit or wit? Check my Pat's King of Steaks cultural reference right there bitches!!):
And even tho I've watched it 94,000 times already it’s only now dawning on me to wonder I mean dafuck maybe Denzil didn’t live in Nelson Mandela House but he was broke as Del was yet somehow had what looks like 12-foot ceilings in his apartment? 🤔🤷♂️

WHAT's the Deal...
I remember having a vague sense of who Jerry Seinfeld was when his sitcom was starting, which makes sense I guess since he was apparently such a well-known comic nationwide he was the premise for an entire Saturday Night Live sketch in 1986, years before his hit sitcom began.
Speaking of Paul Giamatti Who We Love Love Love...
...let's not forget to also pat him on the back for making this most sacred list of lists, the XMASTIME MOVIE CAMEO HALL OF FAME!!

FOOTNOTES!!
I'm fascinated by uber-footnotes in history; either in pictures (ie. who's the woman in the picture they always show kneeling over the body at Kent State?) or otherwise (Raymond Jones walking into the NEMS shop and asking Brian Epstein for the "My Bonnie" single, which made Epstein curious about The Beatles) Who are these people? Has anyone ever interviewed them? That should be a whole book, interviews with these footnote people.
HERE'S A LINK TO ALL THE FOOTNOTES POSTS SO FARWHO 👏 THE 👏 HELL 👏 WAS 👏 THIS 👏 FAN 👏 WHO 👏 THREW 👏 OUT 👏 THE 👏 WHITE 👏 DOVE???!??!?!?!?!

Oh Happy Day! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
When the pub was shut for the night
Out crept a mouse from his little hole
And sat in the pale moonlight
He lapped at the frothy brew
Then back on his haunches he sat
And all night you could hear him roar
"Bring on the fucking cat!"
Good Question 😬😬😬😬
so…the emu threw him off the roof…? https://t.co/BIK7xHMLXK

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
My Incredible, Almost-Hard-to-Believe Connection to The Kinks & England Thanks to SUNNY AFTERNOON
I mean it must mean something that the most British of British songs, the one sitting on top of the charts the day the unthinkable happened and England won the Word Cup and therein cementing it forever as the sound of that summer and England glory forever - the very summer that was the most British of all British summers - was written by the most British of British writers and just now on St. Patrick's Day I realize it hit #1 in my homeland of Ireland on the very date that would become the exact day of my own birth 6 years later, right?
