Aww. I used to have a little record book when the had 45 size records that played at the speed 16...hey it was handed down from my older brother, It was Larry Harmon acting out the story of Pinochio. That little red record. How easily we were entertained back then.

I have to go see if YouTube has the Mary Tyler Moore Show episode of The funeral of Chuckles the Clown.
What was his saying? "A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants"? Something like that. Best episode ever.

Bye Bozo. Why couldn't it have been that damn Ronald McDonald. He made me hate Clowns.
