God Bless Arnold Stang & Uncle Miltie

Click to enlarge: The Original Big Wheel by Marx Toys. There was a Marx toys factory in Erie, on West 12th, IIRC, across from where Bucyrus Erie once was. Lords is on that corner as well, or nearby.

When I was little, I wanted a Big Wheel more than anything in the world; didn't get it. Eventually, when you don't get something you desire, you live on the memory of the desire. I'll bet my memory of wanting a Big Wheel is more enjoyable than had I actually owned one. It has to be, because desire is ever unspoilt, like Heaven and birthdays and Christmases yet to come.

Click to enlarge: Arnold Stang, radio, TV and movie character actor from yesteryear. You may recall him from It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World or innumerable TV shows ranging from Milton Berle to The Cosby Show.

I always liked Arnold Stang. You may not recall his face, but the voice is unmistakable. I encountered him recently on an episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater called "Appointment in Uganda."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is Stang as "Francis" sparring  with Uncle Miltie... (about 1:15 in...)
