7. Tarzan taught me how to eat alligator, Bob Newhart taught me how to talk on a telephone

Jan 2013

and Bob Newhart & Nichols/May taught Clint Eastwood how to talk to a chair

also, I think Bob foreshadowed the teaparty well, in a bit that was througout the run of his Newhart show where he owned a bed and breakfast.

Bob was a visionary, so was Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan.
Lived in the jungle, yet never needed a gun to hunt.
He sure had muscles on those bare arms

and I fully back the right of bears to be armed. Crazed people are after them.

I do not back the rights though of Zimmermans to be armed. Or Paul Blarts.
Vile creatures they are indeed.

All kidding aside, is there any proof other than his Korean war stint, that Bob Newhart ever used a gun?
He is a great liberal, and I find it hard to imagine he would be a hunter.
Is there alot of hunting in Chicago?
I think he was making an anti-gun joke.

either way,
Greatest TV moment of all time was the final minute of the Newhart show.
I still don't know how they hid that from the public.
