WOW Toni... As my own family's genealogy archivist and researcher I'm really impressed with your details... do you do this stuff with your own family, is this a hobby of yours?

Why, thank you, Trishben. Actually, I'm a professor of Geneology at BS University. Here's another one for you.

Randy Peterson (Club Hour dude) was actually born "Rodney Peterman" in a small backwoods unincorporated village in the Appalachian mountains. (That's poor little Rodney in the doorway.)

Rodney changed his name to Randy Peterson in the early 90s, when he joined the world famous Chippendales (http://www.malestrippersreview.com). His deliverance from poverty and obscurity was insured when he landed his job as host of Club Hour, but he still loves to dance in the buff, and he occasionally sets himself on fire (we don't know why). (Pictured here on a recent trip to Key West - dancing with Marshall Dillon's neice).

Yesterday I was waffling between being impressed with your details and thinking you have WAY too much time on your hands ....

Buzz....Buzz....Buzz....(fade in springtime sissy music here)...rolled out of bed and commented what a beautiful day it is today...birds are singing, sun is shining, another great day to be alive...

As I chow on my Raisin Bran Crunch I think to myself what lovely friends and co-workers I have....then I see the forum headlines...stabbed in the back by my loyal companions...my compadres...my boss even....

Am I upset with the pictures and rumors surfacing about my illustrious dance career...OF COURSE not...but you left out the best part...after leaving my little village and gaining fame and fortune, the town dedicated July 13 as Rodney Day, and this year they are celebrating the 10 year anniversary of THE statue....


(Thanks to Jason Pippin for this rendering of the sacred grounds)

See, you can't tell half the story now...oh how proud my parents were on that day...so today let's sit back and sip a cold beer or a wonderful glass of wine and celebrate Randamonium...

Careful WWWill, you may become her next target......

I think it may be time for another "Photoshop Randy" thread...

Are you holding a few secret smilies in your private stock?? That one is awesome.... Roger has a few for his board that are... lets just say not PG-13

It's in the smiley list here... click the "more" link and scroll waaaayyyy down.

If your sense of humor is anything like mine, I believe you just called me a dumbass with your little smiley there... NICE

not entirely appropriate, but I've been dying to use it.

If I wanted to call you THAT, I would have used THIS smiley:

What does everyone think as to whether James Arness below resembles Margit at all in the picture above? Nothing in any of the stuff Toni has mentioned in the genealogy info actually states the two of them are related. Her father was from Hungary and the Arnesses were born in Norway.

WWWill, Thanks. Very nice. (I use that image in my work quite a bit).

BN, I'm putting my money on not related. I'm thinking the resemblance is more the Slavic heritage... and as for them all settling in the same area, I think that's common. My grandmothers family was part of the Swedes that settled Worcester, MA and still it's a heavily Swedish area, with new first generation families still a large part of the community.

I could be completely wrong, just my .

I hear that Margit is back from her gallavant through the French Countryside, perhaps she will shed light on this Norwegian mystery???? Margit????
