How this blog got its name
------------------------------------
There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.

Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

Boss Hogg (Sorrell Brooke) was a dadgum genius. A counter intelligence officer in the Korean War, he was fluent in 5 languages, including Russian & Japanese. He received his bachelors at Columbia and his masters from Yale. A avid carpenter, he built his own home in California. But perhaps the most surprising fact about our little, fat buddy was that he wasn’t even fat. He was 5’6” and only a 175lbs. He wore a fat suit that made him more than 5 feet around for his most famous of roles, J.D. Hogg.
