I believe this story is where the Anti-Defamation League wrote me a letter. I had no idea at the time that “Haberman” sounded Jewish. Slick Willie was named after an old friend of mine named Bob Haber. I changed Willie’s name to “Slick Willie O’Haberman”. The “Slick Willie” came from “Slick Willie Sutton” the bank robber. My middle name is “Sutton”, which was my mother’s maiden name. When I was a kid my aunts used to tell me that Slick Willie was my uncle. I believed them.
Three things. Nils is waiting for a ukulele performance by U-No-Hoo. Give me another couple weeks of practice. You ought to see my ukulele class. The teacher is a 70ish lady and the class is fifteen old ladies and me. Our teacher doesn’t like Hawaiian music. Picture me and fifteen little old ladies playing This Gun’s for Hire on our ukes. And they’re all better than I am. Meanwhile, Nils sends this link.

Tom B just sent me a link to a video that had been deleted, and I responded “Arrrggh! It occurred to me that everyone may not know how to pronounce certain cartoon onomatopoeias. So I am going to edify you. This is how you pronounce “Arrrggh!”:
Sparky asked me about Charlie Brown’s appearance in Ernie, so I sent him the original. I don’t think he was amused.
Matti Eronen Is unbelievable. Occasionally he sends me an email. When I was young and at my best, I could free dive maybe 20 feet. Watch Matti setting a new Finnish record.
I notice that the bamboo cutting board that he used is the same that I have. I only paid five bucks for it at an Asian flea market. If you run across one, buy it.
Once I got a nasty letter from some sort of Lawyer antidefamation league. They wanted me to stop makining fun of lawyers.
Sparky asked me about Charlie Brown’s appearance in Ernie, so I sent him the original. I don’t think he was amused.
