ON this date in 1959 - Stephen Rockefeller married Anne Marie Rasmussen.

Anne had once been a maid for the powerful and wealthy Rockefeller family.

The Boyz, manservants for the Rockefellers at the time, quickly tendered their resignation.

Bun Man told Mr. Purple "When we started here, it was good; but turns out this family has a little too much drama, even for us..."

So, the Boyz soon were off to a new adventure...

(Context: 2018 when Paul and Michael were headed to the Hoosqow)

Coolio: Ken-Dogger, dude, ya gotta get your lawyer smarts on and spring me...
KD: Coolio, I'm workin' here, but wheels of justice grind slowly
Coolio: Dude, there are some weird dudes here, they're lookin' at me funny, man...
KD: They always look at the fresh meat, you might need a diversion
Coolio: Well, lookie here, Hey Paul, Hey Michael, welcome to Newbie Land...Make the wall your friend dudes

SOME HAVE IT WRAPPED UP

Ken-Dogger: Hey Poncho, why the look?
Poncho: Are you going back? Are you getting back on that saddle?
KD: Whatever are you talkin’ ‘bout?
P: Dude, your gym, those weights are screamin’ for activity.
KD: I worked out a couple of times last week, was doing other stuff.
P: The question remains…Back on the saddle?
KD: Geez, you’re persistent…
Yes, I’ll get there tomorrow, you just watch.
P: I will, I don’t need it…I got ‘cute’ all wrapped up.

Morning Peeps,

STILL FIGURING IT OUT

Ken-Dogger: Morning Gru, in a book already?
Gru: Yep, looking up warranty, need to know my rights.
KD: Your rights? What are you worried about?
G: Love, actually…I want guarantees, I don’t want promises.
KD: Well, I’m warranting you, you’ll get the love.
G: Is that a guarantee or a promise?
KD: I promise you are guaranteed love, at all times.
G: You just say that cause I’m cute.
KD: No, I say it because I finally figured out what love is.

USAIN says "Forget about it..."

Historybook: Nat Turner leads rebellion of enslaved people (1831); "Mona Lisa" stolen from The Louvre Museum, is recovered two years later (1911); Basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain born (1936); Hawaii becomes 50th US state (1959); Usain Bolt born (1986).

"Worrying gets you nowhere. If you turn up worrying about how you’re going to perform, you’ve already lost."

- Usain Bolt

History trivia

To celebrate Neal’s (Morning Brew Editor) birthday today, let’s see if you can answer the Final Jeopardy clue from when he was on the show as a 10-year-old in 2001.

He did not get this question correct and lost in epic fashion.

“In August 1959, a coin toss helped Hiram L. Fong become this state’s senior senator.”

The Boyz were sure this was some female voodoo, so they took steps to prevent these witchy women from turning the Kalamazoo Kids into blithering husbands.

The Boyz would later say "This is how we SONIC!"

OH MY

ON this date in 1923 - In Kalamazoo, Michigan, an ordinance was passed forbidding dancers from gazing into the eyes of their partner.

Kalamazoo Councilmen Bun Man and Mr. Purple initiated this ban as they noticed the Kalamazoo Kids, most particularly the boys, were coming under a spell while dancing w/ the Kalamazoo femmes.

GIVING SHELTER FROM THE STORM

Peck: She looked at me and I knew.
Heck: What is he talkin' 'bout now?
Peck: Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved, Everything up to that point had been left unresolved...Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
Heck: "Come in, I'll give you shelter from the storm"

(homage to Mr. Dylan)
