[url=https://apnews.com/da9af8e69b4ad0ed702778929a1d868d]Jerry Stiller[/url][quote]NEW YORK (AP) — Jerry Stiller, who for decades teamed with wife Anne Meara in a beloved comedy duo and then reached new heights in his senior years as the high-strung Frank Costanza on the classic sitcom "Seinfeld" and the basement-dwelling father-in-law on "The King of Queens," died at 92, his son Ben Stiller announced Monday.[/quote]
I first heard of him when I was quite young, from the funny radio ads for Blue Nun wine. But the [i]introduction[/i] to those ads puzzled me. I asked, "Mom, what's stiller and mirror?" Stiller and Meara were quite a team. I still remember those ads for what I later came to call "Leap frog milk." |

[QUOTE=garo;545729]Part of the Covid cull being carried out by the UK govt.?[/QUOTE]I very much doubt it.
The UK govt. appear to be culling its population at essentially the same efficiency as the Spanish and Italian governments but nowhere near as effectively as their Brazilian counterpart. |
