Would you not be lucky if umbrellas fall from the sky when it rains.

Thunder

I have three siblings, and when we were little we lived in our old house in Tennessee. One time we were all playing outside, and then a thunderstorm started to darken the sky. My older sister decided to tease me and my younger siblings by telling us that the thunder was the roar of a T-rex that wanted to eat us, and being that we were very little, we believed her and got scared. This weeks theme for Sugar Frosted Goodness was "Thunder", so I decided to resurface some of my good ol' childhood psychological trauma :)

Have a Good One,

sarah holcomb

Sarah Holcomb only appeared in four movies in her brief three-year career. Chances are, you've seen half of them.

At 18, Sarah made her film debut in National Lampoon's Animal House as Clorette DePasto, the underage virginal daughter of shady mayor Carmine DePasto. She meets Larry (played by future Academy Award nominee Tom Hulce) when he is stealing from her employer, The Food King Supermarket, as part of a fraternity prank. Larry asks her to the infamous toga party and, afterwards, deposits her on her family's front lawn, drunk and in a shopping cart.

After roles in two forgettable films, 1979's Walk Proud and 1980's Happy Birthday, Gemini, she returned as Danny Noonan's inexplicably Irish girlfriend Maggie O'Hooligan in Caddyshack.

Then she disappeared.

Animal House screenwriter Chris Miller remembered that Sarah was much younger than the rest of the film's cast and crew. He related how drugs and alcohol were plentiful and flowed freely on the set. He admitted in his autobiography that, in hindsight, it was a very bad influence on her impressionable mind. The same was true on the set of Caddyshack. This time, however, Sarah's excessive drug consumption aggravated her previously undiagnosed schizophrenia.

In 2007, a railroad worker named Bobby wrote on his blog about his encounter with a woman he believed to be Sarah Holcomb. According to Chris Miller, she is "living a quiet, obscure life far from the madness of Hollywood under an assumed name and does not wish to be found."

lena zavaroni

Lena Zavaroni grew up on the Isle of Bute (a part of Scotland) and began singing at the age of two. At nine, she appeared on the British talent search program, Hughie Green’s Opportunity Knocks and won the show for a record-breaking five consecutive weeks. She released Ma, He’s Making Eyes At Me, a collection of standards, which reached #8 on the UK album chart. She became the youngest person to have an album in the British top 10, an accomplishment that still stands.

Lena also sang at a Hollywood charity show with Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball in 1974. Backstage, Lucy commented to young Lena, “You’re special. Very special and very, very good.” Lena went on to appear and perform on The Carol Burnett Show, Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show, Cher’s variety show and The Jerry Lewis Telethon. She also appeared on a number of variety shows on the BBC and eventually performed at the White House for US President Gerald Ford. “Ma! He’s Making Eyes at Me,” an Eddie Cantor song from 1921, became her only US hit when it charted a four-week run on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1974. Always more popular in her native United Kingdom, Lena had her own TV series on the BBC in the early 1980s.

From the age of 13, Lena suffered from anorexia nervosa. While at school, her weight dropped to 56 pounds. Lena blamed her weight loss on the pressure placed upon her to fit into costumes while she was “developing as a woman.” Lena underwent a number of drug treatments and received electroshock therapy in an attempt to combat her anorexia. Lena also suffered from depression and begged doctors for an operation to give her relief. Although surgery would not cure her anorexia, she was desperate and threatened suicide if she did not receive an operation.

In September 1999 Lena was admitted to University Hospital of Wales for a psychosurgical operation, essentially a lobotomy. After the operation, she appeared to be in good spirits and recovering at a slow, but satisfactory pace. She even asked her doctors about the possibility of returning to the stage. But, three weeks later and weighing less than 70 pounds, she developed a chest infection and died from pneumonia. She was 35.

lucky

The Monday Artday challenge word this week is "lucky".

On June 2, 1925, Yankees manager Miller Huggins replaced regular first baseman Wally Pipp in the starting lineup. Pipp was in a slump, so Huggins made the change to boost the team's overall performance. Huggins started Lou Gehrig instead. He stayed in the lineup for fourteen years. Although he played with injuries or appeared only as a pinch-hitter, Gehrig played 2130 consecutive games.'

At the midpoint of the 1938 season, Gehrig's performance began to diminish. At the end of that season, he said, "I tired mid season. I don't know why, but I just couldn't get going again." Although his final 1938 stats were respectable, it was a dramatic drop from his 1937 season.

Spring training 1939 showed Gehrig's physical strength and coordination in serious decline. He struggled through April 1939. On May 2, 1939, Gehrig informed Yankee manager Joe McCarthy that he was taking himself out of the lineup. He never played baseball again.

After extensive testing at Mayo Clinic, the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was confirmed on June 19, Gehrig's 36th birthday. The prognosis was grim. He would experience rapidly increasing paralysis, difficulty in swallowing and speaking, and a life expectancy of fewer than three years.

On July 4, 1939, the Yankees retired Gehrig's uniform number "4" (the first uniform number retired by a Major League Baseball team), and honored him between games of a double header. Gehrig gave his famous "I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth" speech before a packed and tearful Yankee Stadium crowd.

However, Gehring was wrong. He is not the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Jim Belushi is.

Edrian Thomidis!

Congratulations to Edrian Thomidis. I chose Edrian's "Charlott" as the winner for the spider challenge. You guys gotta pity me, you hear? So many great illustrations and I have to pick one. I decide by effort, subject, if the artist won before, and how good the illustration is. Edrian won this one because it's a beautiful illustration of a scene from a great children's book - wonderful attention to angle, depth, shading and form. Great work!
