Not Here Jack!

Let's face it. There WILL be a winner by tomorrow. The Squealing Pig pulls no punches and reminds you, neither team is safe. Marinate in that for a while and by tomorrow night, you'll get my opinion. Sorry Lovie, I hope you DO win but, I think The Colts are just a little bit better.

A Black History Salute to "Redd Foxx" and ALL his shenanigans"

Redd Foxx was an old, bitter black man who within the course of 30 minutes ended the show happy the way his situation was. Little be known that this show was originally done in England and called, "Steptoe and Son". Thanfully when it made it back to the US, Redd sat down with producers and wiped away the clean from the pilot script. In real life, Foxx was from St. Louis and his families last name was really "Sanford". LaWanda Page who played "Aunt Esther" on the show was actually a real life cousin to Redd who he admired very much and gave her a part in his show. This may have been one of the first programs to feature the cast either drunk or under the influence of drugs. Demond Wilson (Lamont) often times wore sunglasses through an entire show so nobody could see his pupils. Foxx was no better. Given the fact he taped his shows after a weekend in Las Vegas or just before he left to go there, he either came to the set drunk or left that way. The party often swept through the studio like a swarm of bees in which everyone got stung including "Aunt Esther". Less than half the scripts for episodes you see on TV today actually stuck to it. Most was ad-libbed by Foxx and everyone fed off of it. It enjoyed a nice little run and came back for one season in the early 80's. Foxx's last show was with Della Reese on a sitcom entitled Royal Family. After only a few episodes, Redd Collapsed on the set and never recovered. During his time as comedian he released a new record almost every week and they were all filthy dirty. So, today I remind you that when you see middle school children getting off the bus and saying "Fuck you honkey mo fo" or, "Yeah, I stabbed the dude because he called me a nigger", God bless The Foxx.
the opinions expressed here are soley of the squealing pig 3007.

The Cartoon Network Promotion That Cost a Few Million Dollars To Boston....

Who planted those "Lite Brite" boxes around Boston that made everyone run for the hills? You tell me...To the left is Alternative/Metal rocker Rob Zombie. To the right is one of the guys who put these things up depicting cartoons giving the finger. Is it me, or is this the same person?

"The Squealing Pig" has not forgotten about Black History month in February

The origin of the "thief" or "bandit" dates back to way before Jesus Christ walked the soil! As the beginning of another Black History Month readies to enter another month of it's annual observance, so little is known about some of the people that really changed the landscape in the United States if you like it or not. Today, we salute the 1st in a series presented to you periodically over the next several weeks. As it was in the beginning of the 20th Century, you could pack up the family in your Buick and drive from New York to Los Angeles for a two week vacation and all the while leave your windows open and doors unlocked. History was made when a young boy riding his bicycle through the streets of Greenville, SC noticed the wind had blown open the front door of the Millford house. The young man ditched his bike and went to the front door to peek inside. After saying "Hello" a few times, he opened the screen door and tiptoed his way through the empty house. Maurice Lackey had the balls of eight Roman soldiers! After phoning his Father to explain what was going on at that house, Dad was quick to pull the tablecloth off the dinner table and hop on his bike where Maurice already had the majority of China and Silverware stashed away in another tablecloth. In the next few hours Dad and Maurice had made several trips each way. The Millford's new television of two weeks got swooped up quicker than a buzzard on a dead possum.

When the Millfords finally got home from their trip, astonished, there was nothing to be done. No clues...nothing. Everything was gone including the clothes in the closets, jewelry, and even Mrs. Millford's girdles. Sadly, after a botched job in the early 1970's, Lackey was sent to prison for a 120 year sentence with no parole. In the fall of 2001, when asked about being the first black man to steal from the white man, he laughed and pulled out a key. "What's that for?" a reporter asked. Smiling, Maurice said "The extra key to the Millford's Buick. Go get it and take it cause I'M THE SHIT" One month later he would be found stabbed to death by his cellmate.

Maurice Lackey...we salute you for your bravery in stealing from the white man and when getting caught saying you were caught just because you're black.
