ON this date in 2000 - In New York City, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum opened to the public.

The 42nd Street location joined Tussaud's other exhibitions already in London, Hong Kong, Amsterdam and Las Vegas.

The statues of Bun Man and Mr. Purple in the Time Travel portion of the museum were impeccable.

The guards didn't appreciate the statues because adoring lady fans kept trying to see if the Boyz were anatomically correct.

They were...

ON this date in 1945 - Ava Gardner and Artie Shaw were married.

Bun Man always thought this was an odd couple, but there have always been odd couples.

Mr. Purple simply said, "Just goes to show ya, a man who knows how to play and use his instrument can find a beautiful woman anytime."

Bun and I nodded in agreement!

Mr. P told Bun "Dude, it's for exposed and deserted young children, not exposing of your deserted member."

Bun Man was devastated; although he did flash a couple of lasses on the way home from the pub...

ON this date in 1739 - Thomas Coram was granted a Royal Charter from George II so a "hospital for the maintenance and education of exposed and deserted young children" could be built in London, England.

Hearing this from across the room, and apparently mistaking what was said, Bun Man rushed home for his Rain Slicker.

When he returned to the local pub, Mr. Purple saw Bun resplendent in just his raincoat.

Bun told him "Have you seen the pics of the native women in here, this is better than the bra and pantie section of the Sears Catalog."

Mr. P, still puzzled, replied "Dude, what's a Sears Catalog?"

Bun pondered and said to himself "References are lost on the young..."

ON this date in 1888 - The first issue of "National Geographic Magazine" was released at newsstands.

Bun Man was ecstatic over this release and he yelled to Mr. Purple "Jumpin' sakes a monkey..."

Mr. P was startled so he asked Bun what all the clamoring was about.

At times, I DO look through my old photos...

I found a photo of myself from when I used to be a boxer.

If you turn it sideways it looks like I'm standing up.

And I'm sure the Mikster will have thunk up some more projects by then also.

Boeing's Financial Woes

Boeing plans to raise up to $25B through stock and debt offerings over the next three years while also entering into a $10B credit deal with lenders, according to regulatory filings yesterday.
