Joseph Evans Brown (1891 – 1973) was an American actor and comedian. Joe E. Brown is best  remembered for his extremely pleasant and unassuming screen persona. He had exceptional comic timing, and a marvelous plastic face with a very huge smile. Joe E. Brown joined the circus when he was nine years old where he became a tumbler in the circus. He later ventured into the vaudeville circuit and even became a professional baseball player. Eventually Joe E. Brown ended up on Broadway where he transformed himself into a very fine comedian.

Broadway and his talent for comedy saw Joe E. Brown joining Warner Brothers as a comedy film actor. Joe E. Brown ended up making over 68 films in his career. After his run with Warner Brothers was over, Joe E. Brown signed with the filmmaker David L. Loew to make more movies. Brown would later call this move his biggest professional mistake inasmuch as the films for Loew didn't do as well as his films with Warner Brothers. This was due to the obviously lower production values of Loew's films. His films for Warner Brothers were lavish productions filmed in color with big budgets. He died in 1973 and is buried at Forest Lawn (Glendale), in Glendale, California.

These are images that were shot in 1990 on Kodak Professional TRI-X 400 Film and rescued from the vaults of time. The camera setup was a trusty and very fast f1.2 50mm lens mounted on a Minolta XGM.

Cyber Monday refers to the Monday immediately following Black Friday, the ceremonial kick-off of the holiday online shopping season in the United States between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. Whereas Black Friday is associated with traditional brick-and-mortar stores, "Cyber Monday" symbolizes a busy day for online retailers.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, where it is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Since Thanksgiving falls on the 4th Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday may be as early as the 23rd and as late as the 29th day of November. The earliest uses of "Black Friday" refer to the heavy traffic on that day, an implicit comparison to the extremely stressful and chaotic experience of Black Tuesday (the 1929 stock-market crash) or other "black" days. The earliest known references to "Black Friday" (in this sense) are from two newspaper articles from November 29, 1975, that explicitly refer to the day's hectic nature and heavy traffic.

Black Friday is not an official holiday. Retailers often decorate for the Christmas season weeks beforehand. Many retailers open very early (typically 5 A.M.) and offer doorbuster deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores. Although Black Friday, as the first shopping day after Thanksgiving, has served as the unofficial beginning of the Christmas season at least since the start of the modern Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the term "Black Friday" has been traced back only to the 1970s. "Black Friday" was originally so named because of the heavy traffic on that day, although most contemporary uses of the term refer instead to it as the beginning of the period in which retailers are in the black (i.e., turning a profit).

You are getting very very sleepy. One widely-held urban myth is that heavy consumption of turkey meat (as for example in a wild super buffet Thanksgiving feast) results in drowsiness, which has been attributed to high levels of tryptophan contained in turkey.

While turkey does contain high levels of tryptophan, the amount is comparable to that contained in most other meats. This effect of Thanksgiving sedation may have more to do with what is consumed along with the turkey, and in particular, carbohydrates, rather than the turkey itself. Or, it could be the wine...anyway, have a great Thanksgiving holiday! And, thanks for visiting.
