I slept through most of my history classes in high school. Actually, most of my classes.

It always seems weird to me that there was only five years between the last Golden Age appearance of the Flash and the the debut of the Silver Age Flash.
Maybe even stranger is the fact that Johnny Quick was still being published in 1954, only two years before Barry Allen.

History was my favorite subject in high school.
Keep up with what I've been watching lately! "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you."

Mine was English. It was only after college that I came to appreciate History as a subject.

I liked English and History and promptly went and did something else entirely.

I never really liked Math or Computer, but I use both all the time for work now.

I love history, but I would never pursue it as a profession.

Well, there's no future in it is there?

The Boyfriend and I sang that at karaoke once. I sang Chris (the guy) and he sang Kim--mostly because Chris has a bigger part and I'm the better singer. I'm a tenor and can hit high notes pretty well, but that song is pretty darn high!

When my friends and I do karaoke, it becomes all about pumping all the emotion you can into the songs

I actually don't do karaoke very often. It usually takes me at least one drink to shed my inhibitions.

One bit from Mystery Science Theatre 3000 that sticks in my mind is when the evil mad scientists invent the karaoke machine that only plays public domain songs ("The immortal 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'") and they test it with a hideously off-key version of "Ave Maria".
They also precede the revelation of their invention with this priceless exchange:
DR. FORRESTER: Now, Frank, what happens when you go to a karaoke bar and request "I Wanna Know What Love Is" by Foreigner?
FRANK: People vomit?

In the latest episode of Criminal Minds, the presence of vomit helped the team figure out how a plane crash happened.

Baa Baa Black Sheep was a 1970s series starring Robert Conrad, famous for being shirtless in his two earlier series Hawaiian Eye and The Wild Wild West.

I remember Baa Baa Black Sheep. It was retitled The Black Sheep Squadron in its second series. It was a fictionalized account of a real WWII squadron led by Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington.

Robert was an early example of TV beefcake. Between his body type and the frequency he showed it in his earlier series, it was very much a harbinger of what was to come. It's a shame he apparently turned out to be a total jerkwad.

One of my cousins worked for a talent agency in the late 80s. Robert Conrad was one of their clients. She said he would pull pranks like telephoning the agency pretending to be the notoriously difficult Raymond Burr, who was also one of their clients.

Raymond Burr played Chief of Detectives Ed Backstrand on the Dragnet radio series and the original tv series.
The early episodes of Dragnet overlap in time with another Jack Webb/Raymond Burr radio series, Pat Novak for Hire. In it Webb stars as a boat owner in San Francisco who does odd jobs that usually end up involving a murder that Novak promptly gets blamed for and then has to solve before Burr's Inspector Hellman arrests him for it.
It's an interesting experience listening to Dragnet after listening to a lot of Pat Novak, however, as every time Sgt. Friday gets called into the Chief's office, you expect the Chief to start accusing him of whatever crime they are dealing with that week!
