Kurt’s insane capacity to remember useless crap

On Friday we went out to dinner and a comedy show for a friend’s birthday. Somehow the dinner conversation drifted to the old TV show, “Little House on the Prairie”. I’m sure it was Kurt’s fault. He was talking about the friend the Ingles had and kept calling him, “Mr. French”. All of us were confused, because none could remember a Mr. French in that show. Since all of us except Kurt agreed he eventually gave in, but not before remembering the real name - Mr. Edwards. Kurt also recited the song that this character always sung fully and loudly for most of the restaurant to hear. This morning went I checked my email at work this was waiting in the inbox…now remember the night I was just talking about was FRIDAY and it’s now MONDAY MORNING…

So I’m not completely crazy.
Mr French was the butler on Family Affair.
Mr Edwards was the friend of Mr Ingles on Little House on the Prairie.
That character was played by Victor French.
It’s amazing what your sleep muddled brain will think of when the alarm goes off at 4:15am.

And now for the song:

Old Man Tucker was a fine old man,
Washed his face in a frying pan,
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel,
Died with a toothpick in his heel

Get out’ the way of Old Man Tucker,
It’s too late to get his supper,
Supper’s over and dinner’s cookin’,
Old Man Tucker just stand there lookin’……

He sent this to everyone that was at the birthday dinner, and by the time I got into work one person had responded with…

Freak!

To which Kurt replied:

But I’m not crazy.
