Celebrate the Ides of November

The French company that manufactures Pleyel Pianos is calling it quits. They haven't gotten an order from Frederick Chopin since oh, about 1845.

So, Andy Warhol, I'll wager you never thought that your Silver Car Crash would sell at auction for the tidy sum of $105.4 million. Seeing as how you're dead, you may not be thinking about much these days.

HumJobs keep coming:
Lyle Lovett and the Large Band- Tickle Toe. Paul Butterfield Blues Band- Get Yourself Together. NRBQ- Call Him Off, Rogers. Louis Prima- Angelina  Zoom Zoom.   Junior Brown- My Wife Thinks You're Dead.

Alan Ladd was only 5'4?

So, how close was the American League batting race in 1945?
George "Snuffy" Stirnweiss batted .30854 and beat out, on the last day of the season
Tony Cuccinello who finished at .30845

I was thinking about
 George Raft
 Louis S. B. Leakey
 Connie Hines
 Thor Heyerdahl
 Bernie Geoffrion
 Charles G. Dawes
 Gomez Addams
 Claudia Cardinale
 Dick Dr. Strangeglove" Stuart
Were you??

Elizabeth Warren? Your table is almost ready.

Read in Crooks and Liars: A comment on the intellectual capacity of FOX News' Monica Crowley:
"Why are the best racks always on women I abhor?" So, Monica, your table is not ready. By the way, Mary Landrieu, I don't see a table being ready for you either.

Getting this one out early in the day. There may be more. If not, have a wonderful weekend. Be nice to yourselves and to someone else.
