I miss Leonard's losers

[BAMMAR]

I used to love to read his picks. I heard he passed a few years ago and his son was doing it but I haven't seen anything for a while. Oh well, I guess I'll just watch Gameday.

It's available, but internet only. No radio outlets, unless it's changed.

I miss ol' Lenny myself. I spent many a friday night in my youth llistening to the results from the little smart pill machine. The only time I ever got mad at him was when he picked Bama to lose to Vandy in '84. Turned out he was right.

I used to like to hear Leonard's loser when I was in college in the early to mid 90s.

We used to get Leonard on Saturday morning radio here. I miss hearing him and he was right most of the time. I also miss those weekly Football Kickoff flyers that were mailed to your home by your friendly insurance agent.

Ditto from the mid to late 70's.

That doesn't make me old...just experienced...right??

"Tuscaloosa Pachyderms," he called the Crimson Tide of University of Alabama. "Oinkers" was his name for the Hogs of the University of Arkansas, or "Swamp Lizards" for the Gators at Florida. He wasn't against poking fun at the college team in his own home town, with his "Red Clay Hounds" name for the University of Georgia Bulldogs. You had to have a sharp ear to listen to Leonard's rapid-fire loser delivery.

Leonard was a staple on Saturday mornings in the fall when I grew up. Used to love to listen. All of the nicknames he used and so on was just good entertainment ( and yes he was right most of the time ).

Before ESPN and College GameDay and six-hour pre-game shows and even Beano Cook, there was Leonard Post Toasties.

 

[Denny Chimes]

Wow, I didn't know Leonard was the same guy who played Uncle Fester.

Wow, I didn't know Leonard was the same guy who played Uncle Fester.

You ain't right, man. Funny, but ain't right!

I loved hearing him on Fridays to add to the tension of waiting on Saturday's kickoffs.


Get me outta here Percy!:biggrin2:

Anyone clicking on his famous recipes might recognize this classic!!!
Christmas Cookies

1 Cup Water
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Cup Sugar
1 Tsp Salt
1 Cup Brown Sugar
Lemon Juice
4 Large Eggs
1 Cup Nuts
2 Cups Dried Fruit
1 Bottle Jose Cuervo Tequilla

Sample the Cuervo to check quality.

Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer...Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar...Beat again.

At this point it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup ... just in case.

Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit, Pick the frigging fruit up off floor... Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.

Next, si! ft two cups of salt, or something...Who giveshz a sheet...Check the Jose Cuervo.

Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner.

Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.

Dunaway and Brown are going to start the callers version of Leonard's Losers back up. That's cool to call in and give your impression of how Ol' Lenny would put it.
