An urgent appeal for content! New Glibs, here is your chance!  Post that amazing Glibertarian article. Otherwise, I will continue to spew random thoughts on a page. Don’t let me get away with it!

I was thinking of Don Rickles the other day.  Did you know Jack Kirby drew him an entire story in Jimmy Olsen’s comic book? That’s right, Don Rickles is officially part of Superman canon.   This is one of my favorite stories from Rickles:

“Sinatra was headlining at the Sands, and I was with this girl having dinner in the lounge. She wasn’t anybody I would bring home to my mother, but I really wanted to score big. Frank was in the lounge at his table with Lena Horne and some other celebrities and all his security guards. And my date says, ‘My God, there’s Frank Sinatra! Do you know him?’

“I said, ‘Sure, he’s a friend of mine.’ Which he was. But I made it sound like my whole life. ‘We’re like brothers!’ She didn’t believe me. So I said, ‘Wait here, sweetheart,’ and I went over to Frank’s table. ‘What do you want, Bullethead?’ he said. That was his nickname for me. I told him I was trying to impress this girl and would he do me a very big favor and come over and just say hello. He said, ‘For you, Bullethead, I’ll do it.’”

“Five minutes later, Sinatra strolled over and said, ‘Don, how the hell are you?’

“And I looked up and replied, ‘Not now, Frank. Can’t you see I’m with somebody?’”
