Startin' in the early, early '70s of Los Angeles, the formative bunch of people got their nifty name from a fictional made-up idea of a name, Rose Norwalt. With luck, an opportunity came by way of a director who wanted to make a story based around a busy wash, a car wash. This was the chance for the individuals to get their names known. The entire writing process was done on the outdoor/indoor genuine city set. How often does that happen? They even threw in "Royce" to add a bit of flair without being misleading. It worked for all involved. The idea/process just grew with simply being there.
They received something that worked with themselves until the mid 1980s. As you can see, not too bad for a time spent at a car wash.
Sticking with the city, the directional point of the comical based story appeared to be believable towards many who had come to known it in its now well-known location, alongside a neighborhood situated in Westlake.
If nothing else, the thing about the fast-paced employees, it became complicated, due to its racy matters and foul words placed throughout. So with an exhaustive list of cuts and additions that derived from the original shoot,
it seemed to be softened-up for home viewing, but its goofiness remained intact with the difference in the screen size. Some may say, it became alot more interesting with what was replaced instead.

If you can't beat 'em--ban 'em! The Little League World Series became a truly international event in the mid-1960s. Teams from Asia and Central America began travelling to South Wiliamsport, PA to compete against the best American teams. Embarrassingly for the Americans, the foreigners began to win regularly. So, of course, the only logical thing to do was to ban the foreigners! At the 1975 LLWS, only four teams competed--all regional champions from the U.S. Lakewood, New Jersey defeated the Belmont Heights Little League of Tampa, Florida in the championship game on August 23.
This was the only LLWS in which Little League banned all non-US clubs from the tournament. After a justifiable uproar of criticism, the ban on foreign teams was rescinded the following year. An American team did not win the LLWS again until 1982. Below is a photo from the 1975 tourney, showing Wilbert Davis of Tampa scoring a run. Davis was killed in action in Iraq in 2003.

Myself, I can still remember those younger times, when my friends appeared at school in plastic-thin masks and cheap costumes. But have you ever been enlightened of Halloween? How about being told of a long backstory with the convenient fact that, the European Celtics, those from the pre-medieval times, use to toe the line with a dark party that was called Samhuinn. It was a serious time for those people then. An event to keep that society of Celtics busy in the cover of symbols and dance. If you can imagine, this was the final day of their own Celtic calendar. A day that was set up to celebrate those who have passed on to an unnatural place that they strongly believed in. A place of shadows and ghosts.
Did you know that All Hallows Eve is the night before All Saints Day on various calendars that may exist today? A specific day created by the Christians to teach pagens more about normal behavior during that time period. It must've been pretty crazy then.
When children appear with that familiar chant, may Halloween reign on for all, especially in places such as the British Isles; or even your own front doorway always. Hopefully - you won't have trickers not turning up unfairly to not see your carved pumpkin with you-name-it masks and costumes. By the way, what era did you live through as a kid? Is it still a tradition in your family? So, now that it's finished, did you enjoy the photo-history of an era that in all likelihood had you wanting more? Were you expecting the bristled fur of a werewolf to appear? I didn't think so.

Earlier I posted the brief Heritage Minute clip about the three Victoria Cross winners who all lived on Pine Street in Winnipeg. This is the story of another VC winner: 26-year-old Corporal Joseph Kaeble, who single-handedly repelled a German breakthrough on the Western Front in June 1918. Lake most VC winners, Corporal Kaeble got his medal posthumously.
