ON this date in 1990 - Xavier Cugat died of heart failure at the age of 90.
Bun Man just tipped his hat at the thought of Xavier making it that long what w/ Charo chasing him around the bedroom all the time.
Bun Man told us he tried to maintain a relationship w/ a Latin woman but just couldn't keep up...
Bun said "It's a sad day when you realize you're not the sexual dynamo you think you are..."
I now can't get Mr. Purple to stop ROFLHAO...
ON this date in 1787 - The first of the Federalist Papers were published in the New York Independent.
The series of 85 essays, written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay, were published under the pen name "Publius."
Fellow revolutionaries Bun Man and Mr. Purple (what else could they be?) were Virginians and while supporting the cause for a strong central government which was more than a confederation; they couldn't grow a fondness for that pompous Federalist Hamilton.

Teddy R with the COSO success formula (social media where you can get along with each other)
Historybook: Ivan the Great dies (1505); Philadelphia is founded (1682); President Teddy Roosevelt born (1858); New York City subway opens (1904); American poet and novelist Sylvia Plath born (1932).
"The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people."
- President Teddy Roosevelt
Really Peeps, I don't know how this happened, must be gremlins or something in my computer...I just can't control it.
Caturday Blasphemy
Will Social Services Peeps start hangin' out at McDonalds to flag parents giving their kids "Happy Meals"?

WHO'S CLAMORING?
ON this date in 1970 - "Doonesbury," the comic strip by Gary Trudeau, premiered in 28 newspapers across the U.S...
While some having always suspected Bun Man was the man, the myth, the legend behind the Duke, there is no truth to that rumor.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple live in parallel universes and would never allow themselves to be seen in a news daily...
That is unless their adoring public clamored for it!!
CLAMOR ON
ON this date in 1962 - The Soviet Union made an offer to end the Cuban Missile Crisis by taking their missile bases out of Cuba if the U.S. agreed to not invade Cuba and would remove Jupiter missiles in Turkey.
At the time, Bun Man said to Mr Purple, "Apparently, you can bring countries to their knees w/ blockades and embargoes."
This would be short-lived as the USA loves HAWKS who love to see others fight their skirmishes for them.
ON this date in 1978 - The Police played their first U.S. show in Boston at the Rat Club.
Rat Club owners Bun Man and Mr. Purple booked the Police for the show after failing to get 'proper treatment' from Bean-Town's Finest for their other shows.
The stunt worked and thereafter MOFO Boston police helped the Boyz out for crowd control at the club.
Good thing, B-52s were comin' to the club a short time later and the crowd always loved the rock anthem, Rock Lobster.
