Two more messages telling me that Donald Trump is personally disappointed not to find Mark Evanier's name in his list of donors and I should hurry in my donation because I don't want Donald Trump to think I let him down. Makes you wonder how many people this works on. Is there any man who turns to his wife and says, "Muriel! Fetch me my credit card! I need to send President Trump some money so he won't think I've abandoned him!"?
Don't scold me for the punctuation at the end of the above paragraph. I won't change it.
Yes, I am well aware that the lovely 'n' talented Diana Rigg died a few days ago. I didn't mention it at the time because I didn't want to be one of the first million guys in my age bracket to admit to having an enormous crush on the lady back when The Avengers was airing on American television. As I recall, she was on the Crush Scale a notch or three below Mary Tyler Moore in her Laura Petrie days and slightly above Yvonne Craig as Batgirl when she wasn't wearing the Batgirl costume. I never met Ms. Rigg and only found myself in the same room as her on this one occasion.
Hey, I got mentioned on Mental Floss. Thanks to all eight of you who wrote to tell me.
Lastly for now: On a webcast today, my buddy Leonard Maltin said that the best pizza in the world is the pizza at John's of Bleecker Street in New York. Leonard and I agree about 90% of the time about movies and now we agree 100% of the time about pizza. The only thing wrong with John's is that they have this silly 2,900 mile limit on deliveries.
