Comedian George Burns dies at age 100
On March 9, 1996, the legendary cigar-chomping performer George Burns dies at his home in Beverly Hills, California, just weeks after celebrating his 100th birthday.
Born Nathan Birnbaum in New York City, Burns was one of 12 children. As a young child, he sang for pennies on street corners and in saloons, and at age 13, he started a dance academy with a friend. In 1922, Burns was performing the latest in a string of song-and-dance acts in Newark, New Jersey, when he teamed up with a fellow performer, Gracie Allen. Though Allen began as the straight one in their partnership, her natural comedic ability prompted Burns to rewrite their material to give her most of the punch lines. From then on, Burns played the straight man to Allen's ditz, with hilarious results.
By the time Burns and Allen married in 1926 (his brief first marriage, to the dancer Hannah Siegel, ended in divorce), they had already become known on the vaudeville circuit. The 1920s were a golden era for vaudeville performers, and Burns and Allen were only two of a number of greats—their peers included Milton Berle, Al Jolson, Fanny Brice, Bert Lahr and Jack Benny (Burns' close friend)—who successfully made the transition to other forms of entertainment. After making their radio debut in 1929, the pair landed a regular show, "The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show," which aired from 1932 to 1950 on the NBC network. In the late 1930s, the program's audience numbered more than 40 million people and NBC paid Burns and Allen $10,000 per week, an enormous sum for the time. The couple also played themselves on the big screen in a number of films, including International House (1933), Many Happy Returns (1934), A Damsel in Distress (1937) and College Swing (1938).

The Tailgate / Antler tree
Last post by Okanagan - Yesterday at 10:22:29 PM
One of my grandsons has this display of antlers in a corner of his house. I'd never seen antlers displayed like this and like it. Those are better than average north coast blacktail horns. I think one or two were shot by his wife. They have some more to add, and looks like there is room for more.

Last post by Okanagan - Yesterday at 10:02:51 PMWow! Thank you! You guys are quick. I had a hunch it had something to do with a plug for a barrel but had not found it online. Now I see more holes through and how they line up to make a turn on and turn off spigot.
