    All that, and no "huckleberry" jokes?

    What, low fruit?

    An article I found did a "huckleberry" joke. I'm not a "Tombstone" fan, but last night as I was finishing up my fact checking I did think, "Oh, wait, people might expect a 'Tombstone' joke in here about upholding the law." But this article is already way too long as is, and I was sleepy.

    Does Kilmer have the heft to take on the massive challenges of political life, or is the great, expanding girth of his ego just too outsized for his anorexic inner-being? You touched on a wide, wide landscape of topics with this outing, Cholesterol - Uh, Robert.

    Did you know that Clint Eastwood used to walk into Carmel city council meetings wearing a gun belt?

    Nice article, Robert.

    Thanks, Arend. I didn't know that about Eastwood, but that's funny/scary. I did read that once he found himself in a Carmel resident's garage with some city council members who were determining if the slant of the resident's roof followed certain neighborly regulations, he decided he didn't want to be mayor anymore.

    I do know that residents suspected that he wanted to be mayor only so he could change the regulations to allow a parking garage for his restaurant. The fools still voted for him by an absurd number like 70/30, then proceeded to bitch and moan about him.

    Then he painted the town red and renamed it to Hell.

    Americans love celebrities. He was only mayor for two years -- does Carmel have shorter terms of office than most other cities, or did Eastwood quit in the middle of his term?
  • Arend_Anton · 10 months ago
    I think the mayor's term there is 2 years and he decided not to run again, probably because he felt nobody had the stones to get anything done.

    At least, I like to think of it that way.

    A man's got to know his term limitations.

    Brian the dog: "You stay up all night writing that joke?"

    Peter Griffin: "No, I got to bed around two, two-thirty."

    My favorite Eastwood line is "I don't go for hunting. I just don't like killing creatures. Unless they're trying to kill me. Then that would be fine."

    Sadly, it's true. But now you've hurt my feelings, David. See if I use that "Fall Guy" theme song after all!
