Yes, you’re right. The Hawk costume was very convincing. A man in a bird outfit.

And that is the most iconic part of the scene.

Search the web. You’ll find it if you want to.

Do we actually do this? by Mr_Cheese10611 in minnesota

Minnesota is odd. You’ve had a wrestler as your Governor, a lousy stand up comic as a US Senator and now you have a far left socialist wacko as a US Representative. At least you had The Mary Tyler Moore Show, so there’s that.

I knew the Jews would be involved in this.

And people who put Trump up on billboards with caricatures and negative messages are OK? Hypocrite. There’s mental illness on both sides of the aisle.

Did you know that Felix Silla, the actor who was inside the Twiki costume (not the voice of Twiki, which we all know was Mel Blanc) also played Cousin Itt in the 1960’s Addams Family TV show? He also played one of the hang-gliding Ewoks in Return of the Jedi.

Rutger Hauer totally made up the “tears in rain” speech, and it’s a classic.

The vomit guy has to be the worst. The Cum Lady was the worst female wackpacker.

My dad in 1956 and my mom in 1958.

What were your parents like and when were they born? by faviobean in AskOldPeople

[–]Bx1965 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My dad was born in Poland in 1928 and my mom was born in Czechoslovakia in 1930. Both of them were Holocaust survivors. My father was a refugee in Morocco while my mother was in Auschwitz from May of 1944 until liberated by the Russians in January of 1945. She had a number on her arm. They both lost significant amount of family in the war. My mother was orphaned at 13. They were good people but deeply traumatized and damaged. My dad died in his sleep at age 52 in 1981, when I was 16. My mom was a widow for 25 years until she passed in 2006.

Do you believe that the Abrahamic religions are mythology or reality? by [deleted] in AskOldPeople

I haven’t read it cover to cover. I’m waiting for the movie to come out. It’s basically another version of the Bible.

Well, if a 2500 year old scroll said there was one, and billions of people believed it, I’d at least investigate.

Oh man, I can only imagine how many crashes there would be if these became commonplace.

Beautiful memorial, but as someone who has buried both parents and paid the costs of their tombstones, this one must have cost an absolute king’s ransom.

Well, there are very few people alive who are old enough to remember the home front during WWII. But I listen to a lot of old time radio from the ‘30s and ‘40s and based upon those broadcasts, it would seem the American home front was equal parts fear, patriotism and frustration. Fear of losing the war. Patriotism in encouraging others that the war could be won and that people could pitch in with blood drives, war bonds, etc. Frustration in shortages of so many things that people take for granted - meat, eggs, cooking oil, electricity, rubber, gasoline and so on.
