Wake Up, It’s Monday
Wake your brain with this:
Four Comedians — all with today’s date in common: Who are they?
1.) Corporal Randolph Agarn
2.) Sidekick to both Roy Rogers & Gene Autry, and extreme irritant to Eddie Arnold.
3.) *Became famous playing a British cad: one such character was named: Lt. Col. Algernon Hawthorne
4.) A man of many voices who often had pie in his face. As a child his brothers called him, “Soup Bone.”
Extra Credit:
Which two were born on this date in history?
Which two died on this date in history?
*Question three was modified after Doug graded my grammar and found me lacking.

Thanks, my brain just exploded.
Snay — cool. I have achieved my goal and the day has barely begun.
I know that #3 is Terry Thomas and he was Col. Hawthorne in “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World”
Bill — I figured when I wrote question 4 you’d get the answer right since you recently did a post on the movie I referenced.
Lord my brain is out to lunch…can you post one of your sillies for me I am needy! Best wishes from here to there.
#1 is Larry Storch, and #4 is Soupy Sales. For #2, Pat Buttram or Andy Devine?
Great quiz, Quilly!
Where am I….I do not think until at least Wednesday, sometimes Thursday.
Pauline — maybe later — not up to giggling myself just now.
Al — #3 — pick one. Use the date to decide which.
Lori — I believe what you’re looking for is down the hall and to the left.
Wow, Al! I had nothing. The best I can come up with for #2 is Gabby Hayes, but I wouldn’t have called him a comedian.
My only path to dignity is to point out that your #3 lacks plural/singular agreement, Ms. Quilly.
Doug — I just made that mistake to see if you were paying attention …
I got nothing…you should see our national comedians and you´d understand why I am not more into this branch of entertainment 🙂
Well, except for the challenge questions, the answers are all out there.
OUCH! My brain! The only one I knew without googling was Soupy Sales! Quilly… you have too much TIME when you don’t go to school!
And the Answers Are:
1.) Larry Storch, Corporal Agarn of F Troop.
2.) Pat Buttram, perpetual sidekick
3.) Terry Thomas, the cad of all cads
4.) Soupy Sales
Larry Storch and Soupy Sales were born (1923 & 1926, respectively) on January 8th.
Pat Buttram and Terry Thomas died (1994 & 1990, respectively) on January 8th.
Thanks for playing bill and Al — all others, thanks for heckling.
Melli! We cross posted! Thanks for playing. Would you have gotten Soupy if I hadn’t included his nickname?
