heehee
yes i thought Bruno  was too much today! The one hit wonder boy! Angelique must have been really bored to put up with him!He did have great veins though and after 25 years of drawing blood i've never seen any one hold a needle like Cyrus!

Jennifer,

Wouldn't it be cool to see that "one hit wonder boy" Bruno Hess play "My Sharona," the "one hit" of those other "one hit wonders," The Knack, on his Steinway and Sons keyboard in the cottage?

It would be a gas to see Bruno's flowing hair and his bouncing medallion as he intones the sophisticated lyrics of this seminal hit as only an artistic genius of Bruno's caliber could do.  We're talking Cole Porter here!

Hey gang,

If there had been a PT counterpart of Phillip Todd, do you think that old Phil would still be sporting that groovy hairdo, Mr. Rogers cardigan sweater, and those absolutely God awful, ugly #ss gray plaid pants of his?

My guestion is did men ever really wear their hair like that?  I don't remember anyone I knew ever having hair "styled" that way.  Of course, I was young at the time and most of the guys had long hair more like David's.

Hey, HappyBat, not Friday yet but almost there.  Isn't this NE weather just lovely, we get one nice day a week.

Bruno Hess Hair Lookalikes:

Denny Terrio -  former host of the great "Dance Fever" disco dance contest show.

Fez - foreign exchange student from "That '70s Show."

Tony "Who's the Boss?" Danza - star of stage, screen and cinema.

Anson "Potsie Webber" Williams -  acting/singing sensation  from the classic 1970s' TV comedy show, "Happy Days."

Frank Serpico a/k/a Al Pacino - from the cinematic classic, "Serpico."

Joe Theisman - former Washington Redskin quarterback.

Rupert Pupkin a/k/a Robert DeNiro - aspiring late night talk show host from "The King of Comedy."

Eric "Ponch" Estrada - former star of the truly great "CHiPS."

Buzz Hackett - bon vivant, man of the world, and founding member of the Collinsport chapter of the Hell's Angels.

Tony Manero a/k/a John Travolta - lead character from "Saturday Night Fever," who, while combing his flowing locks in front of a mirror, asked his older brother the immortal question, "Hey, do you think I'm losing my hair?"

Dear Fellow Dark Shadows Fans,

Yes, happy Friday the thirteenth to all of you good people out there, who are afraid to walk under a ladder, cringe at  the thought of having a black cat cross your path, and, most of all, absolutely blanch white at the prospect of being assaulted by Bruno Hess' unbelievably "heaping" head of hair!

On another note, I'm delighted to inform you all, that P.T. Quentin Collins has agreed to admit himself for some much-needed treatment at the world famous Bobby Knight Clinic for Anger Management.

This highly renowned institution (named after the former, volatile head coach of the Univ. of Indiana basketball team) is a sister institution of the greatly respected Betty Ford Clinic for Substance Abuse.  (Incidentally, this is another fine clinic that may prove to be of inestimable help to both the brandy-loving Quentin, and, Quentin's dipsomaniacal cousin, Roger Collins.)

Of course, the Bobby Knight Clinic for Anger Management has helped scores of "Type A" personalities with their "temper issues," explosive luminaries such as former NFL player and coach Mike Ditka, supermodel Naomi Campbell and recovering road-rage sufferer/actor Jack Nicholson, to name but a few.

So, hopefully, the clinic will be able to help P.T. Maggie Evans' new husband to resolve his anger issues, and to help Quentin lose his unfortunately well-deserved nickname of "Mr. Misanthropy."

Finally, I hope that Carolyn Stoddard Hawkes will be okay.  First,  Carolyn loses that once-in-a-lifetime, dream job she had secured just before the Todd Antique Shop went up in smoke like Bathia Mapes.  And, now, Carolyn has become a very young, albeit, a still very fetching widow.  What a bummer!

By the way, if Carolyn and Jeb had been "blessed" with a child, what the heck do you think their "offspring" would have looked like?  (Somehow, I think that "baby" Jeb would have had a strong resemblance to the so-called "snake-boy" from the Strother Martin sci-fi flick, "Sssss.")

I do regret not being there "today," when on June 13, the former Leviathan leader took that final nosedive off of Widows' Hill.  I think that I would have liked to have shouted something appropriate to him as he neared the jagged rocks below, say, something like: "Hey, Jeb, baby.  Beware the ides of June!!!"

Sincerely,

Bob the Bartender, President of the Official Lovelady Powell Fan Club.

Gerard,

I tell you, I would have been delighted to see the Rev. Trask, just as Judith and Tim were about to place the last brick in the wall, look at them soulfully through that small slot, with tears streaming down his face, and beseech them, declaring dramatically, "I am a sinner!"

Bob the Bartender, avid televangelist viewer.

Yes, Steve "Back in the High Life" Winwood or Steven Winwood.  (That sounds like the Dark Shadows name for Lady Kitty's London solicitor, who, lives at Cadogan Square, no doubt.)

I saw Steve Winwood perform in concert way back in 1987.  And, now that I think of it, the photographer taking shots of Mr. Winwood during the show looked a heck of lot like our own Ringo Collins!

Bob the Bartender, president of the Bay City Rollers Fan Club.

Hey gang,

I have a question.  If today's snow was also piling up in front of Collinwood and the Old House, just who the heck would have the extreme "pleasure" of shoveling up all all of that stuff?

Somehow, I just can't see Edward, Quentin, Barnabas, young Jamison, or even Magda digging up all of that "beautiful" snow.  (Maybe, Tim Shaw, sans his shirt, will heft that snow and provide many of the distaff Dark Shadows fans with a little "beefcake"!)

 And, how the heck is Garth Blackwood going to get around in all of those deep snow drifts, what with his obvious "girth," and those heavy chains that he always has to schlep around?  ("I come for the pris-o-naaar!  Justice must be served, and who the hell is going to shovel all of this 'expletive-deleted' snow!?!")
