This was one of the most memorable calls:


Wow, you have a superb recall. I've listened to this call before when I did another post on Bruce. The $77K blackmail scam. This guy went from actual tears to something approaching humor. But Bruce was right - get a lawyer!

+1'd your karma because he was just that good! :)
While the mourning is fresh, this is part of his last show. Worth the 54 minutes if anyone is a fan of old school radio stories...

Eh, nevermind...

Obsessing over Bruce Williams's death... Mainly because I can't obsess over the death of the lady who's (RIP Ramona) recordings I'm trying to restore and polish up for her memorial service. Another brain tumor.  Wanna guess, another heavy cell phone user...

Seems Bruce was losing his edge and the comments to his column were attacking him (a la Art & BungGag)

https://www.uexpress.com/smart-money/archives/2018. Actually, I couldn't find a direct link to this page, I just took the 2017 archive and change the date in the URL.  Maybe because of the comments?

Eh, nevermind...

George Mendoza - 95. Who? This sailor photographed here by another sailor, but at the same moment by Alfred Eisenstaedt in the more famous version of the photo.

Merry Christmas

I have yet to see this in person.  Probably never will. 🙄

(Sarcasm alert) I am curious what's up the skirt, were they historically correct?

Wiki said "The cause of death has not been disclosed."  Must have been a stake?

Yep. Garter belt and nylons (also sarcasm). You're not missing much. Gargantuan. Very cheesy
