Has the "Naked Cowboy" ever given biograpghical details about himself? Where is he really from? What kind of life did he have before he started doing this?

I'll have to play catch-up later.  We didn't get back from DC until nearly four in the morning (der Brucer took a couple of strange turns, getting us in some interesting territory near Andrews AFB, and it took all my map-reading skills to get us back on our proper route home), so I set my alarm to just two hours before I have to get to work, rather than my usual three.

Still, I do feel rested.

Everyone, have a shpadoinkle day!  (George, at least, will understand.)

Matt, those questions sound as if they came from the mouth of Bree Van de Kamp!!!

I hope once the HHW gatherings commence that we will be treated to multi-pictures. Always love to see these group shots of our merry band.

I know; too clinical, I guess, but I do find the entire premise of his "occupation" so fascinating, and I'm just curious about how all it started and what kind of life he had before.

Steve Franken was Chatsworth Osborne, Jr - with his mother played by Doris Packer - they were the only two people who could be funnier that Sheila James (as Zelda) on DOBIE GILLIS.....for me.

TKAM closed with ANOTHER sold out performance.  Everything went fine although the audience was a bit quiet - compared to Friday night's crowd.

It's OVER....the 2006 season is OVER....hurray!!!

Have always loved him. THought he was funny in that and a good actor in everything I ever saw him do. Hadn't thought of him in years until bk mentioned him yesterday.

Off to work....if my 16 year old nephew....who was out until after 2 am - doesn't come out when I pull into his drive way, I am supposed to go in and call someone ELSE to work with me today.

He should work everyday so we can see him.  I always thought he would have been as funny as Don Knotts as the replacement for the neighbors on Three's Company.   8)

Doris Packer is another favorite character actress from the period. Adored her on DOBIE GILLIS, and she made some memorable appearances on THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW, especially handling a celebrity auction, "All the royalities from his book 'Me and My Gall Bladder.'  That's you and your gall bladder!"

I didn't like that show much, but I particularly didn't like Don Knotts on it. He was NO replacement for Norman Fell.

And not Larry's houseboy!

That's NYC's famous "Naked Cowboy" who makes upwards of $1000/day posing in the Times Square area (tips and various and sundried marketing deals)

der Brucer


He posed for photos with me and didn't ask for a cent  ;D

Didn't some of our beautiful HHW ladies run into him in Times Square during last year's visit?  If my failing memory recalls correctly, for a while there was a naked lady either working with him or comepeting a few years back.   Several DRs will be sorry you didn't post his PLAYGIRL shots!

That was me!   I believe I read on the web the naked cowgirl is his wife

Today on TCM is one of my favorite Esther WIlliams films EASY TO LOVE. (This is the one with the big Cypress Gardens finale). I may watch it tonight unless I decide to watch WEDDING CRASHERS on HBO-HD. It's premiering tonight, but I'm not much a fan of Owen Wilson.

Guess I'll go tidy up some things in the house and maybe even start the laundry going earlier than usual.

Maybe not....I don't know... I thought I read that a while back, but can't seem to find it again. I did find this from an interview. He was born in 1977 in Cincinnati  Reading this, I was just glad we didn't try to have a conversation:

Jellio: Have I got this straight? Are you two partners now?

[Silence]

Cowgirl: What do you think, Bob? I don't think we're partners.

Cowboy: I'm asked that all day long, naturally, and I'm sure she's probably asked that same question. Again, from my standpoint, I am the Naked Cowboy, and that's really the only thing I can comment on. Naturally, we have the similarity of the name. And the appearance. And, if you want to go with a society-based symbol (note: Here's where I know it's gonna be a long interview.) , it looks like we're doing the same thing. but prior to Naked Cowgirl, there was just Naked Cowboy. And, naturally, in that atmosphere you have, nothing it can be conformed to. In other words, if there's only one, there's no conformity whatsoever. And that's pretty much my thing. If you can live, create, be, do, you know, you can literally not conform to society, but still fit in with society. So you can exercise that whole ego-centric, I want to be somebody, part of your humanity. (Was that a yes or a no...gotta pay more attention.)

Good morning!
Food report: Last night I finally tried the Greek restaurant in my neighborhood (The Great Greek). A hit! Wonderful service, friendly ambiance and - most importantly - the food was superb. We didn't have reservations and the place was filling up (although it was early). So they gave us a table as long as we left by 7:30 - which was no problem because we were going to an 8 PM show. I had the Greek-Style Vegetarian Platter -- which includes yogurt tzatziki, hummus, eggplant , melitzanosalata, tabouli, spinach cheese pie, spanakopita, rice pilaf, fresh vegetable of the day, Greek fassolia beans, feta cheese, fresh tomato and cucumber. (No salami, however.) Needless to say, I couldn't eat half the food. But I tired everything - and everything was totally delish. As we were going to the theater, I couldn't take the leftovers with me. Next time, I'll get a doggie bag.

Good mawnin', folks! Today is my brother-in-law's birthday, and we didn't get to a birthday celebration for my sister, his wife, two weeks ago - so I think there might be some sort of b'day bash later today or tonight. These are not Party People, so maybe some barbecue from Wood Ranch or something, shlepped over to their house? Their son just got back last night from his honeymoon in Hawaii - he may have some ideas.

It's such a lovely day! And I see on the weather map that it's raining again up north -- whatta surprise!

That it definitely was. I probably smelled like a garlic press at the theater. No vampires sat near me.

Dear Esteemed, leisurely, and suave BK --  

Good morning on a fine Sunday..I hope the day holds rest, reward, and fun for you.  And if your lunch plans don't change, I'm sure that you will make the most of the degustation of your salami adventure.

I was shocked yesterday, while reading your posts, to realize that I have never been to 4 and 20 Pies !!  And I'm a true pie-holic !  Do you think they are better, equal, or under House of Pies quality?  Or maybe just different?

And a Happy Sunday morning hello to all H/Ks and DRs.  

I loved the picture of DR Jose........very appropriate for HHW.

I'm so happy for the various hainsies and kimlets that will have the fun of gathering in NYC this coming weekend, including the poobah, the big kahuna, the grand wazir, the mensch of the west, Esteemed BK himself.  Oh what a glorious time it will be.

PICTURES.....you understand, those of us peons that have to stay in more provincial locations want PICTURES !  :)

Well, this isn't terribly fascinating, but it is a post ........

I just trimmed a few shrubs and bushes in our front yard, threw away a scrap piece of 2x4 that has been laying in the front garden for probably a year, and swept up some very dusty and dried leaves that had blown into one of the garages.

Life is certainly highly paced and on the cutting edge here on the ranch!
