We will also celebrate the birthday of George "Gabby" Hayes, actor who played side kick to Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. He spoke authentic frontier gibberish and was a pioneer in political correctness that respected both womanhood and the youth of the West, spouting phrases like "œdurn persnickety female" and "young whippersnapper". There will be a Gabby Hayes look alike contest for the women, so don't miss it!
Today in History: May 21
1832 Greece is recognized independent by the Treaty of London. Otto of Wittelsbach, Prince of Bavaria is chosen King of Greece. The Marx Brothers parody this in their film "œDuck Soup". It turns out that "œWittelsbach" means duck soup in Greek. As Rufus T. Firefly famously said, "œit's all Greek to me".
1933 The film Duck Soup leads to a feud between the Marx Brothers and the village of Fredonia, New York. Freedonia was the screen name for the country of Greece in Duck Soup, and the city fathers wrote to Paramount asking them to remove all references in the film to Freedonia because "it is hurting our town's image". Groucho fires back a reply asking them to change the name of their town because "it's hurting our picture".
1948 Allen Funt's "Candid Camera" TV debuts on ABC. Concept is based on his dressing rooms' hidden cameras in the negligee store he and his brother owned in Chicago. Said Funt, "œwho woulda guessed?
384 Saint Siricius is first Pope to use that title (up to that date they were called "œBishop of Rome"). The title is actually "Papa". This was conferred on Siricius because of the great number of children he fathered "“ everywhere he went in Rome kids would yell "œPapa!" "œPapa!" This was of course before celibacy.
1332 Pope John XXII bans meat on Fridays. One of his concubines (he had a harem of 200 girls (http://one-evil.org/people/people_14c_John_XXII.htm, http://www.remnantofgod.org/nl0409.htm) had a husband who was a fisherman. Italians liked meat and potatoes (well, not potatoes, they weren't invented yet, but you get the drift) and weren't eating fish, so fishermen were not prospering, to say the least. Pope John demanded that good Catholics eat fish on Fridays (in return for a 10% donation of gross fish profits from the fishermen). Pursuant to the Law of Unintended Consequences, tens of thousands of Italians die when fish bones get stuck in their throats. Aghast at the dwindling population of his tax paying flock, Pope John outlaws any form of birth control, which lasts down to this day.
