    Last time I saw Erik Estrada (besides reruns of old shows from the ’70s and ’80s) was when he was selling land in places like Hot Springs Village and Holiday Isle Arkansas, showing off his golf skills by (with the help of the camera) sinking long 20 foot putts. Estrada was promising a free no pressure weekend to tour the site. I remember articles coming out that the company he represented was selling the land for many times what it was actually worth with those high interest rates.

    These informercials were on late night TV along with Don Lapre hawking get rich quick schemes which eventually led to his being hunted down by the feds and his unfortunate demise, that crazy dude Vince who sold us the “Sham-Wow” and the late Billy Mays who sold us OxiClean and Orange Glow (which actually worked well, I did buy some of those from one of his kiosks he had set up in a local Tampa mall where he taped a lot of the testimonials as he was from here).

    Wikipedia lists Oliver’s father’s name as ‘Frank’.

    Eleanor is sounding a bit like David Byrn of the Talking Heads…

    If this is what contemplating the navel leads to, I’ll give up meditation

    For a bad trip, being in a quiet, dark place with someone to calm you is the best.

    So get into the tool shed with your psychotic hubby, Eleanor!

    Oh, George! Poor George! Momma’s left you in the tool shed, and we’re feeling so sad!

    Sad for Erik Estrada. Sad for James Brolin. Sad for dandelion-based drugs. Not so sad for you, George….
