Uncle Tonoose was on the Danny Thomas show. He was I believe, a classically trained actor who had done plays onstage in NY for years. I can't remember his real name now. Maybe later.

On that same note, I was so surprised to discover that there really IS a Danbury, Connecticut! That's where Rob & Laura Petri lived.

To stay on track... Holy Toledo is a phrase we all used growing up in my area of Toledo. :ho:

I might be mistaken but I thought Rob and Laura lived in New Rochelle.

I was conducting a legacy video interview for my wife's great grandmother so we'd have her story and history on video, and she said, "If your great you don't have to tell anyone, they will know it"

She said her mother taught her that in the late 20's when she was a little girl bragging about herself. Since then she said she lived by that humbling Old Saying.

2BNTV 01-15-2013 04:54 PM

Your goose is cooked.

OldDave 01-15-2013 05:10 PM

Yes, Rob and Laura did live in New Rochelle. Rob's hometown was Danville, Illinois, (Dick Van Dyck's actual home town)

Old sayings:

I'll swan.
Laudy mercy.
Missed it by a country mile.
You were standing behind the barn door when the brains were passed out.
Turtle (meaning a car's truck) from my poor old step father from Arkansas.

They have a carburetor that gits 100 miles to a gallon, but the big oil companies bought it.
