Comments: Woman haters club addendum: Little known fact.... Buckwheat as an adult joined the Muslim religion . Changed his name to....... Karem of Wheat ![]() ![]()
Comments: Good morning, Toni! Regarding "Darla", not many know her real name is/was Freida Gahockstenhagen - originally from Germany. A lesser known fact is that each episode of The Little Rascals was originally filmed in Germany, in Cinemeist-Colour. The children are all German-born and the episodes were later dubbed in with the English language and converted to black & white for import to the States. Attached is a rare clip of the founding of the He-man Woman Hater's Club with footage of Spanky, Alfalfa, and Buckwheat (real name Otto VonSteinhardt) taking the offical Club Oath with hands on their hearts. Alfalfa holds out for about 60 seconds until the sultry Freida, I mean "Darla", walks by: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JojmK5_shk
Comments: Thanks to all for the Birthday wishes. The big 60 ain't so old anymore. Is it??? Sure hated to miss the get together, but we had been to Galveston for a week and are trying to catch up at the office. Take care.
Comments: SNL, I agree with Carol. Take your time with the photos. We can wait. I need to bring my camera to the next get-together and put my photography/photojournalism degree to work. haha!! These get-togethers seem to get better and better. Too bad we had a small rain cloud over us with Christie's passing, this time. But, you turned it into a nice, sunny day for her with the toast. I know she would be flashing that great smile knowing we remembered her and then went on to have a great time.
Comments: John Southworth....my brother was a good friend of Darla's in real life....just another tibit!

Comments: You still got it Dale . . .
Comments: Nope, she won. She "DRU" to an inside straight.
Comments: John, I think that Dru lost the game and had to take you. Well thats just my observation. Lucky you.
Comments: Richard, I was referring to that OTHER He-man Women Hater's Club of which you and Smiley were founding members as pictured here: http://www.schwimmerlegal.com/images/heman.jpg KarenMG, surely you are not a Darla wannabe? Remember, her lawsuit was instrumental in closing down the club. The boys were later required to pay punitive damages in the amount of five marbles. Regarding your inquiry about Dru. She won me in a poker game.
Comments: First of all, Sam, No. JS, I think Richard was being kind using the word "quirky". By the way, how in the world did you ever land a lovely, talented lady like Dru?
Comments: Southworth, it's funny you mention the "Woman Haters Club" . Two nights ago, on youtube, I watched the "woman haters club" from around 1931-33 range I think. It's the Three Stooges and the first "rap video" that I'm aware of...at least in my view, though I wouldn't want to make that claim at a PDiddy concert. (clearly I get bored during the week in my hotel room).
Comments: You guys crack me up. Thought for the week to ponder: If a man is out in the woods and there's no one around to hear him, and he states an opinion about women.....is he right?
Comments: Hey, Richard! Many thanks for the compliment. Nice to know I've been upgraded from mysogynistic to "quirky". |
