Josco 48 Posted January 18, 2005 QUOTE from linked website He was a farmer and rodeo rider who, after gaining weight, became a blacksmith... There was no picture there. I can do faces, not too good with names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anubis the Jackal 76 Posted January 18, 2005 QUOTE from linked website He was a farmer and rodeo rider who, after gaining weight, became a blacksmith... There was no picture there. I can do faces, not too good with names. According to IMDB... 'He was a farmer and rodeo rider who, after gaining weight, became a blacksmith... ' So, he was a fat man with a hammer. like this?

BrunoBrimley 83 Posted January 26, 2005 Wilford Brimley has been in quite a few movies and currently does Diabetes testing supply commercials, he will be 81 this year. Actually Uncle Oatmeal will only be 71 in September of this year since he first was grown in Oatdale in 1934. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anubis the Jackal 76 Posted January 26, 2005 What a Cock Apparently Mr Brimley supports cock-fighting, although I too have never heard of him. I love the quote from this article "We have no intention of telling Mr. Brimley what he can or can't do with his dog." Looking at him, I feel that he probably does need telling exactly what he can't do with his dog. And his cock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josco 48 Posted January 26, 2005 From Anubis's link: The grandfatherly actor and oatmeal pithchman What is an oatmeal pithchman? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honez 79 Posted January 26, 2005 What is an oatmeal pithchman? A Pitchman perhaps? ie, a hawker, salesman, or other low-life, bottom feeding, scum-sucking, tromboning animal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josco 48 Posted January 26, 2005 What is an oatmeal pithchman? A Pitchman perhaps? ie, a hawker, salesman, or other low-life, bottom feeding, scum-sucking, tromboning animal. Scum sucking? Is that similar to felching as discussed elsewhere on these pages? Not too sure as to the exact meaning of tromboning in this context either. Apart from that, you seem to quite like salespeople.

BrunoBrimley 83 Posted January 27, 2005 Actually, he was born in 1924 near Salt Lake City. It would clearly depend where you choose to look. There are numerous sites out there which show his date of birth as September 27,1934 among them are the following: http://nerf-headers-anonymous.net/WilfordBrimley.html http://www.infoplease.com/ipea/A0763050.html http://www.nndb.com/people/593/000022527 http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0763050.html http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/8528/danza2.html http://www.deadoraliveinfo.com/dead.nsf/bn...Brimley+Wilford http://www.dougmacaulay.com/kingspud/sel_b...or_last=Brimley this site tells us he arrived in Hollywood in 1940 at age 6. The french give us http://allocine.fr/personne/fichepersonne....?cpersonne=5201 Clearly one of the confusions in existance is that there are 3 or 4 places which erroneously list his date of birth as 1924, however in all other places (more than just a mere vast majority) it is shown as 1934 and Mr. Brimley himself can vouch for this.

BrunoBrimley 83 Posted January 27, 2005 What is an oatmeal pithchman? A Pitchman perhaps? ie, a hawker, salesman, or other low-life, bottom feeding, scum-sucking, tromboning animal. It also refers to Wilf's enjoyment of scooping up handfuls of freshly cooked oatmeal and pitching it at an unsuspecting person who he's taken a fancy to and then he proceeds to offer a phony apology followed by an offer of licking the oatmeal off of his object of desire. Surprisingly this has worked quite well for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea who Ruth Warwick is (was) but she seemed to have caused a lot of comments. She was the wife in Citizen Kane. As for how you confused her with Wilford I guess I'll never know. They really look nothing alike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honez 79 Posted January 28, 2005 As for how you confused her with Wilford I guess I'll never know. They really look nothing alike. That depends on the circumstances Josco was referring to. They probably look alike in the dark and in the heat of the moment. Eh, Josco? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
