While we best know Sherman Hemsley for his work as "George Jefferson" on "The Jeffersons" & "Deacon Frye" on "Amen", I bet you don't remember Sherman also loaned his voice for the ABC live-action puppet series "Dinosaurs" in the early '90s.

and Dinosaurs the species and TV show both died of "natural casues"

I think I see the common theme here....

SHARK isn't making this up. There was an actual TV series called "Dinosaurs" in the '90s.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaurs_(TV_series)

I'm going to need a confirmation on this before I believe it.

Does anyone find his comedies entertaining? My wife likes the serious movies but all of his comedy shows and movies look so bad.

Krazy, Jester Hairston has been in that acting studio in the sky for many years. If there's anything messed up, that's not your fault.

Thanks, SHARK. I know you're just trying to be nice, but I can't help but feel partially responsible for his death...

Join the club. That is a cross we all must carry for the rest of our lives.

Is it just me, or is SHARK! not revealing some inside knowledge that he has concerning the assassination of Jester Hairston?

SHARK is trying his damndest to be even more unbearable than usual in this thread. Seriously cut that stupid shit out. You didn't break the news, and you haven't broken any news yet.

R.I.P. Sherman Hemsley, aka, the DMV worker on an episode of Martin.

Amen > The Jeffersons. I never laughed at or even chuckled at The Jeffersons.

Clifton Davis and Sherman Hemsley pimped hoes from 1986 to 1991. Common knowledge.

Out.

To a DEEEEELUUUUX APARTMENT IN THE SKKKKKYYYYYYY

That's the last song I ever played live.

There was an open mic at a place called Union that was located on Sheffield and I think Wellington, anyway it was about a block south of the Vic. This was in the early 90s. The guy that ran it called himself Chicago Sleaze. My friends Kevin Junior and Scott Giampino who were in a band called Rosehips at the time were friends with Sleaze and said I could come up and play some Monday night. So one week I showed up.

It wasn't the best open mic I've ever seen. Most of the guys in there were frat boys watching Monday Night Football. Nobody that played was memorable. Then Kevin and Scott got up there. They played a couple songs but were having trouble competing with the Steelers or whoever the fuck was playing. After awhile they called me up on stage. I got up there and tuned up. I adjusted the mic stand and I yelled to the bartender, "Turn that fucking football game off!" There was some groaning from the crowd, but I figured I was worth watching. We played one of my songs, "Julia Child (I Wanna Have Sex With The French Chef)". It went over pretty well. I could command a stage back then. I think Kevin was afraid I might get him kicked out of there forever and anger Chicago Sleaze, so he started rushing me. But I had some guys up in front demanding more. "Okay, just one more, man." I suggested "Born To Be Wild". Kevin and I had played a painfully slow version of it in a band we were in together, but he was adamantly against playing it that night. So I just yelled at him, "Theme from The Jeffersons"! Scott started playing a slow shuffle beat and I faked some chords and began singing it. I had never played it before, but everybody knows the song.

Fish don't fry in the kitchen
Beans don't burn on the grill
Took a whole lotta tur-i-in'
Just to get up that hill.

When we got finished I said, "Thank you very much! Give it up one time for Kevin Junior and Scottie Baby! And let's hear it for our gracious host, CHICAGO SLEAZE! CHICAGO SLEAZE! CHICAGO SLEAZE!" I knew i could embarrass Kevin. He pushed me off the stage. :lol:

To my shock and surprise, a GIS for "Buffalo Cum" is totally and completely (a) not what I expected (it's quite banal), and (b) completely SFW until maybe the very end of page 6.

Way more plausible than the whole "Louisiana Purchase" & "Gold Rush" narratives.
