But he stopped saying, "Ok, TAKE IT EASY."

He switched to "Farewell. Farewell til we meet again.  Peace be with you. May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house."

What is that,  "Spaceballs"?  And yes, Jackson Brown wrote "Take It Easy", right this instant, I just got that WordWolf, take it easy.  Got it.  Very good.  Anyway, the way Jackson Brown explains it, Glenn Frey wouldn't stop bugging him to finish the uncompleted "Take It Easy", explaining "alright go ahead and finish it. Do it".  So stuck in the second verse with, "Well, I'm a-standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona"  Frey finished the verse with "Such a fine sight to see. It's a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin' down to take a look at me."  Browne was very happy with the result.  There is even a statue on the corner of 2nd and Kinsley ave. in Winslow Arizona.    You're up, WordWolf.

We were referencing "Carlin at Carnegie", when he had a whole set on ways to say "hello" and "goodbye."

But the subtle remark about "Take It Easy" was a genuine answer I hope?  Otherwise, I would still keep the round.

The post where I used the words "Take it Easy" was a genuine answer.   (The other post just hinted at the answer.)

Ok, here's a trivia question with 2 parts. 

I think all of you know who Redd Foxx was- black comedian, black actor, starred in "Sanford and Son", etc.

Redd Foxx was his stage name.

1) What was the legal name of Redd Foxx's father?

2) What was the cause of death of Redd Foxx?

 

(These are not trick questions, just odd questions.)

[Human without the bean]

It's an odd question I would agree.  What was his dad's legal name?  Probably not to many people on the planet know that.  But most people I think do know what caused Red Foxx's death.  That's pretty common knowledge.

I wouldn't bother asking his dad's name if you couldn't at least guess it.  And it's 2 "x"s and 2 "d"s, Redd Foxx.

[Raf]

I'm gonna guess that these are easy guesses.

Redd Foxx's father was Fred Sanford.

And he died of a heart attack in front of people whe were annoying him  so naturally they thought he was faking it. "Hang on Elizabeth! I'm coming to join you!"

Correct!

Close enough, anyway.

1) His dad WAS Fred Sanford.

2) He was among friends and had a heart attack. They were so sure he was fooling that they delayed getting an ambulance.

Joyce Sirola isn't particularly famous. Especially not as Joyce Sirola. But you've heard her better known name. You probably think she's dead, too. She's not. In fact, Joyce Sirola, better known as ________ __________, is the last surviving cast member of _____________________.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Joyce Dewitt, Three's Company(?)

George

[Raf]

Suzanne Sommers is still alive

[WordWolf]

Dawn Wells, Gilligan's Island?????

[Raf]

Nope. Dawn Wells is dead.

And it's not Gilligan's Island

[Raf]

The professional first name really is Joyce.

I was surprised to learn she is still alive.

She is 98. Not sure how long she's been married.

I'm not sure if she is that old, I'm thinking not, but how about Joan Collins, Dynasty?

[Raf]

The professional first name IS JOYCE.

MANY Dynasty cast members are still alive. 

How long she's been married is a HUGE hint.

The only other Joyce I could think of is Joyce Brothers, but she's dead.

I'm not sure why your not knowing how long she's been married is a big hint, unless maybe she lied about her marriage?

George

[Raf]

No, let me repeat the clue:

Joyce Sirola isn't particularly famous. Especially not as Joyce Sirola. But you've heard her better known name. You probably think she's dead, too. She's not. In fact, Joyce Sirola, better known as _JOYCE_ __________, is the last surviving cast member of _____________________. Her professional name really is Joyce and she's 98. But I don't know how long she's been married.

So I'm looking online for nothing special when I notice on MSN where the headline reads, "The Last Living cast member of "_____________________" and there it is stuck in front of my face.  I didn't open it but the timeline of the television series could fit the 98 yr. old actress.  Plus I think her name is Joyce.  So by default I will sit the rest of this one out.

Since you didn't look for the answer, you didn't cheat, it hit you in the hands.  Go ahead and give the answer.

Um, Joyce RANDOLPH of the Honeymooners???????
