“Make ‘Em Laugh: The Funny Business Of America: Mae West and Others FUNNY MEN AND WOMEN
There has been a new series on television in recent weeks and the series is aired after midnight.1 Since my wife and I do not have taping facilities; since I don’t follow the programming after midnight, and since most of the TV I watch is after midnight, it is always a delightful surprise when something comes onto the screen of great interest. The episode tonight1 was about: Mae West, Moms Mabley, Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor comedians who waged a war through comedy, on hypocrisy, conservatism, political correctness and prejudice. -Ron Price with thanks to 1“Make 'Em Laugh: The Funny Business Of America: When I'm Bad, I'm Better / The Groundbreakers,” 12:55 to 1:55 am ABC2, July 17 2011.
Mae West, American actress, playwright,
screenwriter, and sex symbol arrived in
Hollywood In 1932--the end of an Heroic
Age1 and the beginning of another—that
Golden Age of motion pictures
with a
motion picture contract from Paramount.
In 1959, the year I joined the Baha’i Faith,
Goodness Had Nothing to Do With It2 was
released and it went on to become a best
seller----my own autobiographical life was
just beginning, a life about as different from
Mae’s as can be! As far as Moms Mabley &
Lenny Bruce & Richard Pryor are concerned
I’ll leave commentary on them to another time.

UK : East : Panther scares stock car enthusiasts Darren Lewis, 28, and his friend Daniel Bargewell, 26, were busy preparing a stock car for a rally in Swaffham at 11pm on Thursday when they heard loud footsteps outside the building on a farm between Stokesby and Filby.
At first Mr Lewis, who lives in Southtown, Great Yarmouth, thought a man was approaching, but when he peered out into the darkness he saw the silhouette of a beast 3-4ft tall staring back at him through green eyes while making the sinister hissing sound.
The frightened pair then barricaded themselves into the workshop while Mr Lewis phoned his sister Sarah Amis for help to remove the animal.
However, by the time Mrs Amis husband Anthony arrived on the scene half an hour later the panther had scarpered, leaving only paw prints behind.
She said: “They were worried and when my brother phoned up, he said ‘you will never believe this, but there is a panther outside the door.’ I said, ‘you are joking?’ but he said, ‘no, there really is a panther here.’”
Mrs Amis believed the giant cat was eventually scared off by the lights from her husband’s car.
There have been a number of sightings of panthers in the Great Yarmouth area in recent weeks and months.

UK : East : Norfolk woman berates own "evil" border collie in online pet ad The Downham Market resident is giving away her pet for free and has not held anything back about her ‘thieving’ and ‘bad-tempered’ dog in an online advert.
“Evil Bob would love to find the perfect home as I have put up with him for nearly ten years and can’t take much more,” she wrote on the second-hand sales website Preloved.
“He is probably the worst dog you will ever meet. He started life as a failed mountain rescue dog – probably peed on the climber and stole their Kendal mint cake.
“He has caused nothing but trouble here as he doesn’t fit in well with a large group of dogs.
“He looks older than his years, has wonky teeth, bad breath and a bad attitude. He is terrified of cats, snaps at horses’ heels and nips pigs.
“He should not be left unsupervised indoors as he steals food off the side, licks the cooker and pees at terrier height so as not to get the blame.”
