I can't picture jimmy stewart with such a colorful vocabulary, but hey everyone has it in them I guess,but maybe I'm thinking of kris kringle.

I think you're thinking of the James Stewart Christmas movie, It's A Wonderful Life. I'm referring to the one with Ralphie, and the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun.

And his dad didn't know where the kid learned his swear words, because he wasn't aware of the language he used himself when working on the furnace.

Darren McGavin was a treasure.

Darren McGavin was a treasure.

Not only was he a treasure, but also he was a Night Stalker - that used to be must-see-TV for me.

Darren McGavin was in a series with Burt Reynolds in ancient times. Burt said Darren was going to be very surprised three days after his death.

Simon Oakes! Was that Kolchak's editor in Nightstalker? Carol Lynley as the girlfriend in the pilot movie.

D. McG. was good as Murphy Brown's dad, too.

He was in a movie I only saw a bit of, where the US and China agreed to avert an all out war by leaving it to their meanest jungle-fighters alone on a tropical island. Mc Gavin died of the other guy's poisoned razor blades shortly after killing the other guy. And refusing to send the signal to prove our side won.

Nightstalker was really reaching for new monsters after a while.

Reminds me of the scene in Christmas Story. Of the old man down in the basement cussing, and the smoke rolling out the door, "Oh for ^$@#@*(sakes! Who the ^&%# shut the *^%#$%@#@ing damper again?"

Darren McGavin, a great character actor of his day.

We really are, Charlie. Our street borders a large green corridor with a 90-acre forever wild area just north of us.
It's a regular wildlife show!

That's a cool picture and the fact they didn't scadoodle when they heard you coming, I've never witnessed that before, I have heard the antlers rattle from a distance more than once though I did catch a bull and a cow moose fornicating.

There a live program on the public tv broadcasting from hidden cams in the Rambouillet forest north of Paris 24/24 til the end of september, title is "call of the deer" and believe me, at the moment (#8pm here), there's a lot of rumble to hear around !
Expect few new bucks next year!

I took that pic from a second-story 3-season room we have on the back of our house, using a camera with a zoom lens. I did hear the antlers rattling. It's the first time I've seen it in the wild. We don't see many bucks, but we have had a dozen does and fawns at one time.
