Was Larry Paastello a character on Leave it to Beaver?

Is this another poll Sire?
How will Miss Rosalind take to this? Dr. Laura has really raised Rosalind’s ire. Will Rosalind take this poll in stride or has Dr. Laura ticked her off so badly that your poll will get under her skin?

Not to worry Sire, Rosalind will be fine with this I’m certain. A fresh gin and tonic with a lime twist will help her find her perspective.

Re: Leave it to Beaver
Are you sure you didn’t mean Lumpy? Wally had a friend Lumpy. Lumpy and Larry both have 2 syllables, begin with L and end in y that sounds like a long e.

The chicken dances for you Sire.

Could someone please sing me something from the Starland Vocal Band songbook?
“Afternoon Delight” should do it.
Yes, I know it makes me throw-up. Don’t care, it will stop my head from twitching like a pecking bird.

Chicken facts that Dr. Laura is sure to know nothing about~
http://www.vfr.net/~tbruce/facts.html
http://shilala.homestead.com/chickenfacts.html
http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/eggs/res08-whatis.html
I was disappointed to have read nothing of a chicken’s favorite favorite color(s).
June 17th, 2005 at 8:30 pm
Miss Rosalind,
Scratch the idea of the Starland Vocal Band and pour yourself a gin and tonic. Throw in a twist and some ice and the head pecking sensation will go away.
Hope you’re feeling better.
Your friend,
Chip Munkey

Mr. Squirrel,
Once in my younger days I did go to a poultry restraunt in Rhode Island. I looked quite fetching as I was wearing a pastel yellow dress as I ordered chicken cordon bleu with a side of scrambled eggs with a delightful brown sauce.
I’m glad I could be of help to you.
Yours truly,
School Marm

What time is it?
Too early, even for tea. Saturday, Chrissakes.
I’m going back to bed.
June 18th, 2005 at 6:26 am
I wish I could do whatever I wanted in bed, but there’s someone else in there.
Must be considerate.
June 18th, 2005 at 8:54 am
it’s Rhode Island Red.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:03 am
The whole world is sleeping except for me and the person who just called me to ask a favor.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:04 am
Okay, three people are not sleeping. Add Mr. Squirrel.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:14 am
Dr. Laura would want me to deliver nuts and beer to the bedside now.
It’s easier climbing up a tree than down. Reason why cats are always stuck, etc.
If I hang by my arms, the drop will be about nine feet. I think I can do that.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:20 am
Ya wanna know how long I can dangle from a tree before my hands hurt and get sweaty and slip off the bark?
About 3 seconds.
Then my ankle, leg, hip, space between my armpit and where my underpants used to be, arm, neck, back and face start killing me.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:23 am
It’s okay, I needed to take a long hot shower now anyway.
And it’s always good to take Tylenol. Sometimes I take it even if I don’t need it….just in case something MIGHT hurt.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:26 am
Can’t wait to get to Big Y. Such a treat to wait at the deli counter. I always make new friends.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:29 am
“Rhode Island Red” you say?
I just knew it!
June 18th, 2005 at 9:30 am
The cat food aisle is another social center.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:31 am
I didn’t know the answer when I asked the question. I’m relying on Chippy’s chicken science data.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:33 am
I go to cat food aisle now.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:34 am
Wait. Dr. Laura doesn’t know her ass from her elbow.
Saturday morning bedman does NOT want nuts and beer.
June 18th, 2005 at 9:44 am
Wants you to get the good kind of roast beef.
Also no need to rush putting clothes on. Once clothes are on – it’s okay to bolt to the store.
June 18th, 2005 at 10:50 am
My mother always told me Miss Rosalind that a good man will choose a good roast beef over a hamburger. That’s how you know dear. She never mentioned a thing about nuts.
June 18th, 2005 at 11:45 am
Marm -
A good man will go to the deli counter and buy his own flipping cold cuts, just like the guy in the orange shirt who was standing next to me for 12 minutes holding the scribbled list his wife wrote down for him.
Now, that’s a good man.
June 18th, 2005 at 5:55 pm
Oh, crap, are they making cold cuts from Flipper now?
June 19th, 2005 at 8:27 am
Rosalind dear,
I went to the deli counter to find a good man, but being the only one standing there I left with some chicken dogs instead.
Don’t know why.
