Hal Holbrook

(Prompted by seeing someone who looked like him (but wasn’t) make a cameo appearance in a Lionel Richie video. Hey, I’m working from home and I like to watch the old pop videos channel while I’m on my lunch break.)

Michael Jones, Monday, 10 February 2020 14:49 (six years ago)

All right, I'm asking: In which Lionel Richie video is there a Hal Holbrook lookalike running around?

Holy shit, just saw a FB endorsement for Bernie Sanders from DICK VAN DYKE. That dude must be at least 100.

Genuinely thought that the guy who built the steam-powered rocket to prove there was a flat earth had already killed himself in a previous launch/accident.

Elvis Telecom, Sunday, 23 February 2020 11:46 (six years ago)

That might have been another guy who built a steam-powered rocket to prove there was a flat earth.
