For the good old American lifestyle: For the money, for the glory, and for the fun... mostly for the money.
It used to be his birthday every day on the Morning Animals. That was good stuff.
If I remember right, they got him on the air.

How good could he look? He's got diabetes and he's 80.

Wilfred Brimley has been playing an old man literally since he was 50. He just has that look to him. He has always been pushing some product like prune juice or depends it seems.

Oh, my. I just looked up his info and he was born in Sept. 1934, which makes him only 71 today. He did the movie The Natural which was released in 1984 in which he played Pops Fisher the gruff, old, down on his luck baseball manager of a major league team. Remember? He was only 49, yes, 49, when we saw him in that movie. He looked more like 69. Amazing. He must be the antithesis of Dick Clark.Originally Posted by OhU1
In other news, Karen Carpenter is looking really thin.
Kinda like Samuel L. Jackson was the antithesis of Bruce Willis in "Unbreakable"...
okay, I got nuthin'
[TD2K]Who's Karen Carpenter???????[/TD2K]
He calls it die-a-beat-us. I always chuckle when I hear him say that.
I think ALL old people call it that.
Who's 'Dia'?
Old people also always say "mature" like "muh-TOOR." That makes me giggle sometimes. Just thought I'd share.
What an unseemly combo.
.....and that's all the news from out here on the old Santa Fe Trail.
it shocked me when he was in the movie "the Firm" and i heard him say the F word. a lot.
Whenever a boy comes you should always have something baking.
Re: Man, Wilford Brimley is really looking old...

I never heard it referred to as anything but 'sugar die-a-beat-us' until I left Ardmore for college.

"Without opportunities on the part of the poor to obtain expert legal advice, it is idle to talk of equality before the law"-- Justice Chas. Evans Hughes
i think its spanish for "bye week"
Did he tell us to check our blood sugar and check it often?
He was also in that short-lived TV series, "Our House," that ran on NBC in the mid 1980s. He played the father of Deidre Hall, the woman from "Days of Our Lives."
Don't forget Where the Red Fern Grows II! Actually I think you'd be better off if you did forget it.
