Unknown on the Walk of Fame: Vol. A, Part 2

This is a continuation of this article.

We continue now, looking at the people that make up the over 2000 stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in fabulous Hollywood, California. Many of the stars are no longer well remembered. I am trying to change that by taking a look at each of these stars and seeing why they are on the Walk in the first place.

Eddie Albert TV

A longtime TV star, Eddie actually appeared in a special TV program in 1936! This was years before television was introduced to the public.

Frank Albertson MP

He was the guy who DIDN'T marry Donna Reed in "It's a Wonderful Life". He also appeared in over 100 films.

Jack Albertson TV

Jack appeared in many TV shows and won the 1965 Tony Award as Best Supporting Actor for "The Subject Was Roses". He then won an Oscar when he recreated that role for the movie screen three years later.

Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin TV

Buzz is an astronaut with the coolest nickname in NASA history. Buzz is part of a special "star" at the corner of Hollywood and Vine. It is round, rather than star shaped.
He shares the round star with Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins to commemorate the Apollo XI moon landing.
Perhaps it is round because the moon is round.

Ben Alexander TV

Ben is best known for his work on Dragnet.

Muhammad Ali LT

Ali is certainly an interesting choice for the Walk. I don't know why he did not get it in TV or radio, because I can't imagine he did a lot of live performances (Sports don't count according to the Walk of Fame rules.) His star is different from all the others in that it is actually NOT part of the sidewalk; rather it is inside the Kodak Theater Lobby. Ali was given the star as part of a promotional blitz for the 2001 film, Ali.

Debbie Allen TV

Star of TV's "Fame".

Fred Allen Radio
Fred Allen TV

Legendary comedian, Fred was the host of "Texaco Star Theater" and has been inducted to the Radio Hall of Fame.

Gracie Allen TV

Wife of George Burns, Gracie played the ditsy blonde to George's strait man.

Rex Allen MP

Legendary western star also appeared on the Disneyland TV program.

Steve Allen TV
Steve Allen Radio

Comedian who wrote over 7,400 songs.

Tim Allen TV

Santa Claus.

Kirstie Alley MP

Oddly, this "Cheers" star has a star for movies! She has appeared in several awful films such as Madhouse and several talking baby films.

Fran Allison TV

The hostess of TV's Kukla, Fran and Ollie.

June Allyson MP

Pretty star of over 50 films starting in the 1930s. In 1985 she became a spokesperson for Depends Undergarments. Seeing a former silver screen beauty tell us "old people can now wet their pants with confidence" terrified a nation.

Herb Alpert Rec

One of the most successful instrumental performers in pop music history.

Don Alvarado MP

Starred in many films and television programs from the 1930s to the 1950. He got his name from a street in Hollywood. Don Street. I mean Alvarado street.

Don Ameche TV
Don Ameche Radio

Popular actor in the 30s and 40s, had a comeback in the 1980s playing old men in Cocoon and Folks. In 1939 he portrayed Alexander Graham Bell, leading people to nickname the telephone "The Don Ameche".

Adrienne Ames MP

Successful actress in the 1930s and 40s. She appeared in several films with the word "hell" in the title including: From Hell to Heaven (1933), Guilty as Hell (1932) and Merrily We Go to Hell (1932).

Morey Amsterdam Radio

Comedian and host of many radio programs. At one point he starred in three daily shows at the same time.

Bronco Anderson MP

Movie cowboy who appeared in and directed hundreds of western shorts. He played Bronco Billy in most of them.

Leroy Anderson Rec

Composer of the instrumental version of "Sleigh Ride" that features the sounds of horses at the end. I hear it every Christmas. I am sure you do, too.

Mirian Anderson Rec

Her name is actually spelled Marian Anderson. The official Walk of Fame site has it spelled wrong, but fear not – the “star” has the correct spelling on it. Famed opera singer also honored by the United States Postal Service in the Black Heritage Stamp Series.

Mary Anderson MP

Famous for her roles in Gone With the Wind and Peyton Place. Is NOT the same Mary Anderson that invented the windshield wiper.

Julie Andrews MP

Star of Mary Poppins and Sound of Music.

Heather Angel MP

Star of over 50 films including the "Bulldog Drummond" films that I assume star a talking bulldog who adopt two wisecracking African American kids from the ghetto.

Paul Anka Rec

A fifties teen idol, Anka stood out because he was a great songwriter.

Michael Ansara TV

He played Kang on Star Trek.

Ray Anthony Rec

A very successful big band leader.

Roscoe Arbuckle MP

More famous under the name Fatty Arbuckle, this comedian was tried for a murder he most likely did not commit. It ruined his career.

Army Archerd TV

TV host and commentator. Appeared in The Devil and Max Devlin as himself.

WOW! We STILL aren't through the "A"s! To be continued and continued.

Until then, go to this website and put your own name on a star for free.

Dragon's Lair

Dragon's Lair sits in the Smithsonian Institution along with only two other arcade games: Pong and Pac-Man.

Everybody knows about Pong. Pong was considered to be the first video game. It was a simple paddle game that resembled ping pong. Pac-man was released just a few years later, but was light years ahead of Pong in technology. It is also, most likely, the most popular title in video game history.

Dragon's Lair may not be as famous as the other two, but it is certainly as important. Released in 1983, the game actually played liked an interactive movie, sorta like Mr. Payback.

It was a laser disc player inside a video game cabinet. As the film played, the user would get to certain moments where they could choose what direction Dirk the Daring moved. Choose right and he advances, choose wrong and he dies.

The video in Dragon's Lair was all animated by the legendary Don Bluth. Don Bluth is known for his work on a number of films including An American Tail and because his name is funny.

Say Don Bluth five times fast. Doesn't it sound like you are either someone born without a tongue or Shaquille O'Neal?

The animation was great, beautiful visuals and Dirk the Daring was a good hero. The story was that he was trying to rescue to the beautiful Princess Daphne from Singe the Dragon in a haunted castle.

Before we go any further, let me restate that Daphne was BEAUTIFUL. Really, really hot. She was so hot, that just the tease of getting to see her on the screen made men jam quarter after quarter into the machine. It may be the #1 reason for the success of the game.

The #2 reason for the game's success was idiots who thought the title was Dragon's LIAR. You would often hear them shout at the machine "You lyin' piece of dragon trash. I'm gonna smack you with a shovel. We don't take kindly to liars in these here parts."

Years later a few of these players started a group called "Dragon's Lair Veteran's for Truth".

Along the way he has to face the Lava Monsters, The Lizard King, The Grim Reaper, The Black Knight and more.

A joystick is used to choose Dirk's direction and the button is used to have Dirk swing his sword. Wrong moves cause death to Dirk (usually turning him into a skeleton), but the right decisions move him forward.

After a long, and VERY difficult, series of challenges Dirk gets to the Dragon's Lair where he finds Daphne trapped in a bubble.

At this point users start to expect wacky comedy hijinks involving a pretty girl with a horrible disease that keeps her trapped in a bubble. People expect it to be like that funny like that Disney comedy "Bubble Boy", but instead it's scary like that John Travolta film where he was trapped in a bubble, "Pulp Fiction".

To get Daphne out of the bubble Dirk must kill Singe. If he does, he frees Daphne from the bubble and she jumps into his arms and kisses him. THE END.

If you know all of the correct moves the game takes about 12 minutes to play.

Many attempts have been made over the years to make Dragon's Lair a home game for every system from Gameboy to the PC. Because of the unique game play the game never really translated well.

A few years ago, however, the game was released on DVD. Players used their remotes (or if you have a Playstation 2, your joystick) to operate the game.

The team that made Dragon's Lair had several follow up games, including Space Ace and Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp.

Jack and Walter

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau were not a gay couple. I know, it's hard to believe, but it’s true. They were just friends. If they were gay, I am guessing that Lemmon would be the "female" of the relationship.

Anyway, what they did (or didn't do) in the privacy of their own tastefully decorated mansions is nobody’s business.

What they did on the movie screen was a different story.

They collaborated, A LOT. For a while in the 1990s they were like an older version of Corey Haim and Corey Feldman (by the way I think Haim is the "Jack Lemmon" of that relationship.)

Together they collaborated on 14 films. I know, film historians only count nine of their collaborations as "true collaborations" but we hate film historians.

Here are some "film historian" jokes:

Q: What do you call one film historian at the bottom of the ocean?
A: A good start.

Q: What do you call ten film historians at the bottom of the ocean?
A: A better start.

Q: What do you call two Coreys at the bottom of the ocean?
A: Pollution.

Oh man that was fun.

Let's take a look at the Jack and Walter flicks:

Fortune Cookie, The (1966): A Billy Wilder comedy starring Matthau and Lemmon as Harry Hinckle (Lemmon) a sports cameraman who was injured filming a football game, and Willie Gingrick (Matthau), the brother in law and lawyer who convinces Harry to fake an injury for the insurance money.
During the making of the film Matthau had a heart attack and then lost 30 lbs. Wouldn't it have been funny if Lemmon had convinced him to fake another heart attack so he could get insurance money? Wouldn't it also be funny if at the premiere ushers handed out fortune cookies to the guest, only instead of fortunes, the paper inside the cookie just said "HELP! I am being held hostage in a Chinese bakery!"

Odd Couple, The (1968): The quintessential Matthau/Lemmon film, this starred the two as incompatible roommates. The movie was later made into a successful TV show. I wish they had done the same thing with Fortune Cookie. Then every week Jack Lemon could fake an injury. It would be like watching hockey's Alexander Ovechkin.*

The "Obscure Reference of the Day" has been brought to you by Taco Bell who remind you to "Think outside the bun" because at Taco Bell the only buns you will see is on that cute girl that works the drive thru window.

Kotch (1971): Lemmon directed this film starring Matthau. It tells the story of Mayor Kotch and his addiction to sweaters (this is a guess, I am too lazy to research it.)
The IMDB lists Lemmon as playing an uncredited role as a "Sleeping bus passenger". I think this is poetic because, when it comes right down to it, aren't we all just sleeping passengers on the great big bus we call the Earth?
I think I should stop sniffing my glue stick.

Front Page, The (1974): The duo starred in this remake of His Girl Friday. The tagline for this film was "It's the hottest story since the Chicago Fire... And they're sitting on it." For some reason back in 1974 it seemed like a good idea to promote this film by telling people that Matthau and Lemmon had hot booties.

The Gentleman Tramp (1975): They worked as narrators on this documentary about Charlie Chaplin.

Buddy Buddy (1981): This was a bizarre film in which Matthau plays a hit man. On his way to kill a mobster he runs into a depressed man played by Lemon. Lemon's character is depressed because his wife left him for the head of a sex clinic. The hit man stops the depressed guy from committing suicide and they become friends just like Regis and Kelly.

JFK (1991): Both Lemmon and Matthau make cameos in one of Oliver Stone's first cinematic cries for help. Sadly neither helped him and he went insane sometime in the late 1990s.

Chaplin (1992): Archive footage of an Academy Award ceremony featuring both Lemmon and Matthau is played in this film. It is oddly enough, their second Chaplin based film.

Grumpy Old Men (1993): After kind of appearing in JFK and Chaplin the duo takes the screen together in a film that proved that old guys can swear continuously for 103 minutes.

Grass Harp, The (1995): In this star studded film version of a Truman Capote novel, Matthau plays Judge Charlie Cool. Lemmon plays Morris Ritz, a name that under other circumstances would have seemed silly. Nothing is silly when Judge Charlie Cool is around.

Grumpier Old Men (1995): Realizing that there were over 100 verbs that could be added to the "F" word, both Lemmon and Matthau teamed up for this sequel. The film runs two minutes shorter than the first but contains 10 more unflattering words for female genitalia.

Out to Sea (1997) They dance on a boat.

Odd Couple II, The (1998) The "Odd Couple" goes on a road trip because Felix's daughter is marrying Oscar's son. It was the last film they shot together.

Matthau died in July of 2000, almost one year (to the day) later Jack Lemon was dead. They left an amazing cinematic legacy starring in a combined 154 films.

Kid Stays In the Picture, The (2002): Once again archived footage of the two actors was incorporated into a film and shown in theaters, leaving the Coreys even bigger shoes to fill.

Unknown on the Walk of Fame: Vol. A, Part 1

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is one of the most popular attractions in Southern California. It is most likely the most photographed sidewalk in the world.

The Walk of Fame is a series of bronze plaques imbedded in pink and black squares that run across Hollywood Blvd. (from Gower Street to La Brea Avenue) and on Vine Street (from Yucca Street to Sunset Boulevard.)

The stars on the Walk honor not just movie stars, but radio, TV, & theater performers, directors, singers, magicians, and just about anyone remotely connected to Hollywood.

The stars are given in five categories:
Motion Pictures
Television
Recording (singers, songwriters, etc.)
Radio
Live theater

The only person to receive a star in each of the five categories was singing-cowboy Gene Autry.

The Walk started in 1960, and since then, over 2,000 stars have been added. Contrary to popular assumption, not all the stars are those of superstars. Many of them are of people that you have never heard of. Today we take a look at some of those with the letter “A” and see who they were:

Bud Abbott Radio
Bud Abbott TV
Bud Abbott MP

One half of the famous duo Abbott and Costello. I don't remember which half he was.

Dear Abby Radio
Paula Abdul Rec

Here are the famous columnist (notice her star is not under her real name) and Paula Abdul, one time wife of Emilio Estevez.

Harry Ackerman TV

Harry Ackerman is a name you probably don't recognize. He was the Executive Producer of many TV shows including "Leave it to Beaver".

Art Acord MP

Art Acord starred in over 100 films, but don't feel too bad if you never heard of him. All of his films were made prior to 1930.
He was born in 1890 in Oklahoma, back when it was still Indian Territory. He was a western star and had the nickname "The Cowpuncher King".
He died in Mexico of cyanide poisoning, an apparent suicide. Friends of Acord, however, believe that he was murdered for having an affair with the wife of a Mexican politician.
Many of his films have been lost.

Roy Acuff Rec

Roy was a country music pioneer.

St. John Adela MP

This name doesn't belong here alphabetically, but since I am going directly off the list on the Walk of Fame website, I will keep it here.
This was a woman named Adela St. John (not the other way around) who contributed to the screenplays of "A Star is Born" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".

Renee Adoree MP

Renee starred in over forty films including "Monte Cristo" in 1921. She died of tuberculosis at the age of 35.

Antonio Aguilar Rec

A famous singer (and actor) in Mexico. He received his star in 2001.

Brian Aherene TV

Despite getting a star for TV, Aherene was well known to movie audiences as well. He appeared in over 100 movies and TV shows including "A Night To Remember" and "Rawhide".

Philip Ahn MP

A Korean born actor, Ahn starred in over 100 films. He was best known for his portrayal of Master Kan in the TV series "Kung Fu".

St. John Al MP

Another person that is out of alphabetical order, his name is Al St. John. I am unsure why no one at the Walk of Fame website noticed that they had people with the first name SAINT on the Walk! Al was a silent film comic and starred in a bunch of "talkie" westerns.

Alabama Rec

Famed country music band.

Licia Albanese Rec

Licia is an Italian born singer, best known for her recording of "Madam Butterfly".

As you can see, we aren't even though the A's and we are awash in names of forgotten stars. To be continued.

Dan and Dave

Let me start this with an admission.

Until 5 minutes ago I couldn't spell "Reebok". To be even more honest, I will probably forget it again in my sleep tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will most likely return to the blissful ignorance I awoke with today.

Reebok. I tried Rebocx, Reebox and Reboxx. I am not sure I have ever heard anyone say Reebok, actually. I think I always hear people say Reeboks. The whole plural thing threw me off.

To help me, and you (if you need help) remember the correct spelling, I have found this little system.

HAVE EACH LETTER OF THE WORD STAND FOR ANOTHER WORD.

At first glance this sounded like profoundly stupid advice. I am having trouble remembering ONE word, why would adding an extra SIX make it easier. Still, If I didn't try new things every once in a while, I would not know the joy of listening to a Justin Timberlake while roller-skating in my bathtub.

Let us try:

REEBOK

R=Remember
E=Eat
E=Everything
B=Because
O=Of
K=Karl

Remember, eat everything because of Karl. Sure, it makes no sense, but perhaps it can help me remember.

Maybe I could remember by adding a little back story to the phrase "Remember, eat everything because of Karl":

THE SAGA OF KARL
(Written by Guy Hutchinson. Based in part on the Reebok corporation.)
Karl was a jerk.
He was the guy who would come to your house and use the last piece of toilet paper and then not replace the roll with a new one.

He would double park, even in the fullest of parking lots.

If you offered him a piece of gum, he would take the whole pack.

Worst of all, Karl ate all the leftovers in the fridge.

He didn't care whose house or even WHO'S FRIDGE. Once he even ate some leftover crumbs that were in William "The Fridge" Perry's chest hair.

One day Karl came to Fred Flintstones house. Fred had a leftover bronto rib in the fridge and a slice of dinoberry pie. Karl ate it. Fred was sad, he had wanted to eat that stuff himself.

So Fred did two things. First, he promised himself that, from that day on, he would always say "Remember, eat everything because of Karl". He would tell this to anyone that would listen.

Second, after work the next day he would wait in the bushes by Karl’s house. When Karl came home he would bludgeon him to death with a shovel.

William Perry still mourns.

THE END

So, perhaps, that stupid story will help us all remember not to eat other people's food. Oh wait, that's not right. What was that supposed to help us remember?

I'm sure it will come to me later.

Anyway, back in 1992 America had two great decathletes, Dan O'Brien and Dave Johnson. I'm not sure what a decathlete is, but I am willing to bet it is BETTER than just an athlete.

Dan and Dave had a lot going for them as they headed to the Olympics in Barcelona. They were photogenic, co-favorites to win the gold and they were FREAKIN' DECATHLETES!!!

So, the sneaker company Reeboxx came up with a brilliant idea, they would make a series of ads highlighting both athletes and their sneakers.

The ads showed Dan and Dave's friends and family, each saying who they thought would win. The ads succeeded in generating tremendous buzz for the two, who previously were unknown outside of track and field circles. The ads ran for 8 months leading up to the U.S. Olympic Trials. All eyes were on Dan and Dave and everyone had a favorite.

Picking a favorite was not easy, however, since the two were almost evenly matched. They had competed against each other in three competitions, where Dave held a three-to-two lead over Dan. Still, Dan had a higher "best score" in the event.

Five weeks before the Olympics, the U.S. Olympic Trials were held. In a HUGE upset, Dan flubbed the pole vault and five failed to qualify. That was it, Dan packed his bags and went home to watch Dave win the gold.

Rebocks changed the marketing campaign. In the new ads, rather than hold his head in shame, Dan emerged as Dave's biggest cheerleader - cheering his former rival to a gold medal.

Then Dave finished third.

THIRD! Not first, not second... THIRD!!!!

It was actually a successful campaign for Reebox as they sold a lot of sneakers and generated a huge amount of hype.

Dan and Dave have fallen into obscurity. In fact, if you look on the web for info on "Dan and Dave" you will more likely find stuff about Dan and Dave the Magicians, Dan and Dave's Pizza and Grinders and Dan Rather crying on Dave Letterman's show.

I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

99 Luftballoons

In 1984 a German new-wave band, led by singer Gabrielle "Nena" Kerner released a beautiful song about the end of the world. The song was called 99 Luftballoons and it was an international hit.

The song was a bit bizarre even for a year that featured "Where's The Beef", Miami Vice and the first robot related death in the United States.

The song told the story of some balloons that caused a nuclear war. Eventually the song made its way to the U.S. and it was decided to rewrite the lyrics in English.

Here they are:

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base bugs in the software
Flash the message, something's out there
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by

99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky as 99 red balloons go by

99 Decision street
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super flurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by

99 knights of the air
Ride super high tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify, and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by

99 dreams I have had In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go

The song is cute and bouncy and mentions Captain Kirk, what could be better?

The German version, perhaps?

When the song debuted in the U.S. both versions were played on the radio, but the German version was played far more often. Today, 80s stations seem to play the English version far more often. I like ending sentences with the words "far more often". I should do it far more often.

If you want to read the lyrics click here. If you don't know German, they will mean nothing to you.

I threw the German language version into a translator and what I got back made very little sense. Take a look:

You have something time for me
then sing I a song for you
from 99 ballons
on its way to the horizon think
you degrees ' of me
then perhaps sing I a song for you
from 99 ballons
and that sowas of sowas

Next time you meet someone German, tell them they are the "sowas of sowas" see if you get punched in the mouth. If not, ask them what it means.

comes one regarded
99 ballons on its way to the horizon
as uFOs from the universe
therefore sent a general a flier relay
afterwards alarm to give
if it were like that thereby were
there on the horizon
only 99 ballons
99 jet military planes
of everyone was not a large krieger
held themselves for Captain Kirk

GERMAN GUY: Are you a large krieger?
OTHER GERMAN GUY: No, I'm holding myself for Captain Kirk.
GERMAN GUY: Is he the one with the pointy ears?
OTHER GERMAN GUY: You are such a sowa.

gave large fireworks the neighbours
anything gerafft and felt thereby shot
equivalent put on one on the horizon
on 99 ballons
99 war Ministers match
and gasoline can

99 War Ministers, 99 ballons, a match and a gasoline can walk into a bar. The bartender says "Hey! Is this some kind of a joke?"

regarded themselves as smart people
Witterten already fat booty scoring:
War and it wanted power man,

NOW WE ARE TALKING! We have fat booty scoring AND my favorite superhero, Powerman!

who would have that meant that
it once so far comes ways
99 ballons 99 years war
did not leave no place for winner
war Minister gives it any longer
and also no nozzle fliers today

No nozzle fliers? Damn, I had such a craving for a nozzle flier.

pull I mean for rounds
See the world in rubble to be appropriate
have ' nen ballon found
think ' of you and let ' it fly

There it is, in English, sorta.

Sadly, translation sites aren't perfect as evidenced here, here and just to see if you are clicking on the links: here.

Luckily I found someone that had done a better translation here.

Here are THOSE lyrics:

If you have some time for me
Then I'll sing a song for you
About 99 balloons
On their way to the horizon
Perhaps you think of me a bit
Then I'll sing a song for you
About 99 balloons
And that something (like the war) comes from such a thing (the balloons)

You'll notice some major changes right off the bat. See, in order to make the English version rhyme some liberties had to be taken. This verse mentions nothing of buying the balloons at a "little toy shop" and there are no "bugs in the software" it sounds much sweeter than then the opening of the English version.

99 balloons
On their way to the horizon
Seemed like UFOs from space
So a general sent
A flying squad out there
To raise the alarm if it was true
Yet there on the horizon were
Only 99 balloons

The change of "summer sky" to "on the horizon" seems like a little one, but it's not. See, Nena is really cute and it is much more fun to think of her blowing up balloons in a skimpy summer outfit rather than a winter coat.

99 jet hunters
Each one was a great warrior
Thought that they were Captain Kirk
There were great fireworks
The neighbors didn't understand anything
And felt immediately felt provoked
Yet there they shot on the horizon
At 99 balloons

So, Kirk remains. That is the important part.

We don't hear the address "99 Decision Street" in this. Too bad. I always wanted to live there. It was near Wishy-Washy Lane and That-Damn-Woman-Can'T-Make-Up-Her-Freakin'-Mind Boulevard.

99 war ministers
Matches and petrol cans
Thought that they were clever people
Already smelled greasy loot

I am a little grossed out by "greasy loot". I really prefer "fat booty".

Shouted: War, and wanted power
Man, who would have thought
That one day it would come to this
Because of 99 balloons

99 years of war
Don't leave a place for victors
There are no ministers any more
No jet engines either
Today I'm doing my rounds
Seeing the world lying in ruins
Found a balloon
Think of you and let it fly

Some more differences; and some lines that are almost identical as the song comes to a close.

Nena next issued an English-language album called "It's All in the Game". The album was not a hit and in a couple years the band broke up. Still, time can never deflate the luftballoon in our hearts.

Now I am off, to score some FAT BOOTY!
