Thought it was a fitting way to end this thread.
If you stalk Wegmans in Fayetteville you can usually catch him there a few times a year. The key is having 8x10 photos with you handy. I usually keep my Shayes 8x10s in my car because I never know when I'll run into him. I do the same with Howard Triche.
This is a great post...funny when life delivers you Gorilla Monsoon!Wow moqui, you just connected a couple dots for me. Back in the day, my modified bball coach during practice, would always talk about Gorilla Monsoon. I never knew he was a freakin wrestler?! He would use it in this context; (Coach holding the ball high above his head acting like he just got a rebound because you didn't box out and screaming) "Now what are you going to do when Gorilla Monsoon comes in the lane like that?!!" Wow, I always just thought that was some goon he made up and was supposed to be a tough guy. Wow nothing like an answer almost 30 years later...
Yeah, I mean how random is that?? The things you learn on syracusefan.com....smhThis is a great post...funny when life delivers you Gorilla Monsoon!
Listen, I know I'm new here, and I don't mean to overstep my bounds, but the fact that someone hasn't mocked up the packaging for a Danny Schayes endorsed instant mashed-potato product called Schaye-key Potatoes is a travesty.
"Tough room, I tell ya ..."
I agree. I don't know if you(or anyone) noticed, but I managed to incorporate both of the subjects in your signature(pro wrestling and the moon landing hoax) in the same thread. In fairness, many believe the moon landing was indeed real, but that for reasons unknown Kubrick was hired to give us fake footage, which has become the subject of numerous documentaries. (After this I can finally relax, pop open a brew, and take in either Eyes Wide Shut or Room 237...still deciding, as I will have finally made a worthwhile post today, something that hopefully can contribute in a small amount to the betterment of humanity. I guess I did help solve a 30 year old mystery in this thread earlier by asking a question, but it wasn't intentional, so I'm not sure if it counted. Anyhow, like Tony Clifton said in the movie, "If I made one person happy, it's all been worth it").
Speaking of Letterman and Man on the Moon, he was in a movie of that title, and with the aid of a pro wrestler(Jerry "The King" Lawler) and Andy Kaufman(RIP?)(portrayed by Jim Carrey), showed just how easy it is to stage things for a tv audience.
For those unfamiliar, the movie took it's title from REM's hit song, and each rank among my all-time favorites for causing people to think while being entertained. I wish I had written this song, I could probably die now a happy man, having found a way to serve humanity in a pleasing way. I don't know if I would have a goodbye thread like McNabb05, Lawrinson, etc, or if I'd simply disappear without warning like legends like Mantonio. Who knows how long before anyone would find my Temple, if ever. Hopefully I'd have the peace Andy Kaufman sought after facilitating so much of his own misery.

Paths of GloryStrangelove is at the top for me
then Jacket, The Killing, Clockwork and Shining
Must be referring to one of McNabb05's father's stories
Considering that I have a Danny Schayes autograph, and have seen a football game in Archibold Stadium, I might find some interesting conversation. If you have nothing to add or can't make a constructivge argument, why waste time insulting or attacking someone? I don't get it.
