Lone Star Feed
I noticed today the "S" is out on the Lone Star Feeds sign.
UPDATE (4/6/06): The "S" is back on (pictures taken on 4/8).

Washington, Jefferson, Presley
"Graceland, where Elvis Presley died in 1977, joins the White House, Mount Vernon and Monticello in receiving the country's highest designation for historic properties."
Many of us already knew of its importance. Some have even associated it with a spiritual quest.
Take a tour from your computer.
See it live.

Frosted Flakes commercial (1974)
This is the year of the tiger
So have breakfast with the tiger of the year
That's an image emblazoned on my brain from many Saturday morning cartoons.
"Cool it, cousin, I'll let you know when it's the year of the elephant."
That's mighty persuasive. How can you resist the strength of the argument? It's the year of the tiger. You're hungry for a hearty breakfast. A tiger, who just so happens to be the tiger of the year, offers you a breakfast with 8 essential vitamins and iron. Why not have breakfast with the tiger of the year?

Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964), part 3
Robbo, Little John, and Allen Dale celebrate the grand re-opening of Robbo's club after it's destruction by crime boss Guy Gisborne.
You've either got, or you haven't got STYLE!
Back in his empty club the same evening, archrival Gisborne isn't happy with Robbo's successful reopening and newly christened image as a modern-day Robin Hood.
"They're all over at Robbo's place. They made this bum into a celebrity."
The corrupt sheriff (Victor Buono, pictured above) hatches a plan to put an end to Robbo's lucky streak by sending thirty cops to bust him for illegal gambling and bootlegging.
The charity money continues to pour in during Robbo's re-opening.
"Honey, you do have the busiest can in the place."
Robbo's look-out sees the police convoy turning the corner and heading to the club.
But, little known to everyone outside of Robbo's hoods (including movie viewers), the rebuilt club has some new tricks. With the flip of a switch, Robbo's club transforms from:
to:
Gisborne arrives to find a charity soup kitchen ministering to hobos, vagrants, and bums.
The corrupt sheriff's plan having failed, Gisborne next attempts to frame Robbo.
Robbo endures a trial in which the prosecution witnesses blame him for nearly every calamity to befall man.
The orphans are disheartened.
Allen Dale tries to cheer them up with an awkward song and dance sequence, which I will not spend time trying to recreate here. You're welcome.
The jury at Robbo's trial sees right through the prosecution's lies and deception, and, of course, Robbo is found innocent.
Robbo thanks the city of Chicago on the courthouse steps. This is pretty cool:
