That IS wild, Max - but the year's off. DeMille's film wasn't made til '32.

Happy Easter!

I love things like this... the unintended humor of the juxtaposition.

True, true story. In SoCal, when I was a wee lad of 17 or so, the famous Country Club rock venue not far from my house was holding a special event... The band Squeeze was performing, and their opening act was a then-up-and-coming phenom called The Hooters.

The marquis?

SQUEEZE
Hooters

Do NOT try to convince me it wasn't on purpose.

"DRINK CANADA DRY"

I spent a whole year trying...
