Out of the Blue

R.I.P.: Buddy Hackett (registration required), one of the great stand-up comics (and fellow Brooklyn native). What's odd is that the Hallmark channel started showing a week-long Love Bug marathon this week, and MrsBlue and I just watched the first one last night. Of course so close to the passing of Katherine Hepburn, we are sure to hear some of that "they go in threes" stuff, but I don't imagine that that theory stands up to much scientific examination.
