I think the buttered and filleted buttcheeks with parsley, rosemary, and thyme, are wonderful. Particularly if the cheeks are served on the side.

I am, at this very moment, listening to that 1960S super hit MONKEY IN MY HATBAND! LOL!

Yes, that's what I was saying before, maybe I wasn't clear. The credits on the pilot episode had a big credit (all by itself, the last one, in fact) saying the train was "Courtesy of the Hoyt Hotel, Portland, Oregon." Now why a hotel would have its own train is another mystery.

Yes, indeed, the train in PETTICOAT JUNCTION was from the Hoyt Hotel, which was down by the train depot in Portland. Also, at one point the Hoyt Hotel was the host to a lounge run by Portland's most famous drag queen, Darcel.

One of the first things I did when I moved to Portland was to seek out the Hoyt Hotel. No, not for the drag queen, but because the train from my favorite series of all time came from that hotel. Although the train in the TV series is usually idetified as the one used in THE PERILS OF PAULINE and tons of other movies in Hollywood history, the train that was actually used on the soundstage for PETTICOAT JUNCTION was the one from the Hoyt Hotel.

Bea Benaderet was gone from many of the episodes in the 67 -68 season and a double was used in a few episodes. Bea's character, Kate, returned to the show for a couple of episodes, but you could tell that she was very ill. She died in October of 1968.

Do you know what the dog's name was on "Petticoat Junction"?

Kerry · « **Reply #185 on:** March 26, 2005, 04:53:07 PM »

"Dog"

Michael-- I do remember the 60's but somehow "Monkey in My Hatband" is not a part of them. Who sang this "Superhit"?

Danise · « **Reply #187 on:** March 26, 2005, 04:56:24 PM »

I knew someone who named their dog, "dog". I thought that was kinda neat.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #188 on:** March 26, 2005, 04:56:45 PM »

Many ladies in Hollywood wanted to Bea Benaderet.

DR DANISE would you like some CD's of Dark Shadows music.

DRMBARNUM if you figure out what that song is about, let me know. I've got a monkey in my hatband.

DerBrucer good for the cable news channels and thanks for passing that along.
I understand your view on not passing certain laws but I feel something should be passed to help prevent so much suffering. If we could get those puppy mills put out of business there might be fewer homeless pets. That would be a start. The shelters should definitely be required to forced to take action before releasing the pets. Why are your local vets against neutering? It seems so archaic.

I briefly had a cat named Cat. I resued her off the streets and didn't plan on keeping her.

Bruce I don’t believe you have broken the record for the most rain-not yet anyway. I just read the following:

With nearly 36 inches of rainfall so far this season, we have the distinction of surviving the second-wettest year ever (the wettest takes one back to 1883-84). It's barely 2 inches more for the record.
But still, let the rain come, drip by drip. We've got until June 30 to reach 38.18 inches of rain, and at least then we can brag that we survived the heaviest rains in Southern California history.

Thank you, DR Jrand. I have most if not all of them on CD. I should have asked you if you wanted a copy of them.

I have a big Panama with a PURPLE hatband (to wear with my tan shoes with pink shoelaces), but there is no monkey, to my knowledge, in the hatband.

"Monkey In My Hatband" is from the great movie star, Arch Hall Jr.
It was a tribute to artist Paul Frank.

JMK · « **Reply #197 on:** March 26, 2005, 05:10:27 PM »

Darcelle has her (his?) own club now and has for years and years. Betsy got dragged up on stage there the night her radio pals took her to her bachelorette party there. We have a hilarious picture of her with Darcelle.

Funny you should mention the dog in Petticoat Junction. The liner notes to this Columbia House tape I just auctioned mentioned it. It said that while the dog's name was never used in the series, its name was actually Hiram (I think I'm remembering that right, it was definitely an "H" name), and that one episode was actually called "Hiram Comes Home."

If we could get those puppy mills put out of business there might be fewer homeless pets. That would be a start. The shelters should definitely be required to forced to take action before releasing the pets. Why are your local vets against neutering? It seems so archaic.

1. The "suffering" is casued by irresponsible adult animal parenting - not by un-neutered animals. If a family wants to have their children experience the wonder of a family pet giving birth to and rearing pups, and they accept there responsibility for finding homes for the pups, I think that is fine (There is a little 4H Club in this city boy).

2. The "puppy mills" ~~are~~ pretend to be in the business of providing AKC registerable pups to buyers, many of whom intend to show and breed.

3. The local shelter is State Owned and operated under contract by the SPCA. They have a new "policy" that all adopted animals must be spay/neutered; however, they do not have the means to do it, but, nonetheless, they charge adopters the neuter fee and tell them to "contact us later" to arrange for neutering. Note: the privately run Delaware Humane society neuters all their animals prior to release - but not the State.

4. The local vets aren't "against neutering" they just don't want to do it on young animals (I'm guessing fear of litigation is a big factor). Castration predisposes to highly malignant prostatic cancer and is medically ill-advised for any dog under 1 year, and, in the case of larger breeds, under two years. ( Vet Site )

Here's HIGGINS

Quote

The dog on Petticoat Junction, whose real name was "Higgins", was named simply "Dog" on the show. They did occassionally call him "Boy", such as "here, boy!", when looking for him, but his official name was "Dog".
