I seldom watch TV now, so I was out-of-the-loop there. I probably stopped watching TV around the time he died, and I missed seeing his death in the paper.

I am sure most of you out there knew of his death. I didn’t, and I wouldn’t have made the references and comments in this thread had I known that he had passed away.

I am glad the thread is still here, because the threads have a shelf-life for about five or six days and then that’s it.

He was a fixture on the tube for many, many, years. As far as I know he was doing TV commercials when I moved to Atlanta in 1992.

He was quite a character, and I will miss seeing him.

I am sure there are a few highly-educated people who do indeed enjoy pit bull fighting, and then on the opposite side of the sprectrum are people, with very modest incomes and educations, who do indeed enjoy the High Museum.

Somewhere, I am sure there is a multi-million dollar Buckhead estate on East Paces Ferry Rd. loaded to the rafters with GALLERY FURNITURE. Most likely not many, but a few. Let’s face facts: The Wolfman is quite a salesman and could sell a freezer to an Eskimo, and that Donna ain’t bad herself.

For all I know, the Wolfman and Donna have sold tons of $39 glass tables to Sonny P., in the Governor’s mansion. I hope that’s not the case with our Georgia tax dollars, but with Sonny anything is possible.

I don’t expect an invitation in the mail anytime soon for a dinner party from the Governor, but I would be very disappointed seeing $39 dollar glass tables. Mucho disappointed!!!!

If I should ever attend a dinner party at the Governor’s mansion ( highly doubtful ), I would expect to see at least a modicum of taste. Henredon and Baker furniture would fit the bill. A bill with lots, and lots, and lots of zeros.

Don’t despair, folks, on this Thanksgiving day. If Cleveland landed the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, maybe there’s hope for Atlanta with the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

I’m starting a NASCAR fund. Please send a few dollars my way. You can essentially think of it as a bribe to the higher-ups at NASCAR.

That’s how business in conducted these days. Money sure talks–doesn’t it.

Is this guy serious about the High Museum as a magnate for NASCAR fans? NASCAR fans cooing over a Corvette—yes. NASCAR fans cooing over a Renoir painting—no. NASCAR fans cooing over a Kia—no. NASCAR fans cooing over Wolfman’s Furniture Gallery–yes. Is the Wolfman still doing those dumb TV commercials?

Tractor-pulling contests at the Phillips Arena might be a big draw for NASCAR fans. Does anyone know if Phillips Arena has tractor-pulling contests? If not, the Phillips Arena mananger sure needs to get his “pedal-to-the-metal” on that one. Forget Elton John, forget Madonna concerts!!!

Subconsciously, NASCAR fans must be thrill seekers and no doubt seeing high-speed accidents must bring a few jollies to them. Hey folks, high-speed accidents on 285 would definitely be a plus for Atlanta. Chalk that in the plus column. Deadly accidents on 285 are about as rare as seeing someone drive 55 miles per hour!!!!!!!! It’s a virtual demolition derby.

An aquarium as an attraction? I don’t know. One thing is for certain: Dale Earnhart Jr. would be an attraction. Two years ago he made a personal appearance at Lenox Mall. He attracted more people than when Macy’s went out-of-business.
