03/28/2024 “Mish Mosh”   Leave a comment

I’m feeling quite miscellaneous today. This last week has been a huge pain in the ass with two days of no electric or internet, and the never-ending smartphone interruptions. Add to that an ice storm and finally a visit to my least favorite doctor, my dentist. Things are now back in to normal (whatever the hell that means). Here is a Mish Mosh of trivia items that caught my interest earlier today, so let’s get this started with a list of ten actual pornographic movie titles that were takeoffs of real Hollywood movies.

Tiger’s Wood

Edward Penishands

Beverley Hills 9021-Ho!

Pulp Friction

Shaving Ryan’s Privates

Forest Hump

Raiders of the Lost Arse

Titty Titty Gang Bang

May the Foreskin Be With You

Girth, Wind, and Fire

Here are a few tidbits of mostly obscure information on a few of Hollywood’s endless supply of alleged celebrities.

  • Sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer of TV fame is a trained rifle sniper.
  • One of the few celebrities I like is Mel Brooks. Most people don’t realize that he fought in the Battle of the Bulge during World War II.
  • Many of you will remember the late James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek) who was shot six times during the D-Day landings in World War II.

  • The word “fuck” appears more than 265 times in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction.
  • As a follow-up here are a few facts from the 1998 movie The Big Lebowski. The word “fuck” is spoken 292 times, the word dude is spoken 161 times, and the word man 147 times.

  • The male lead in The Terminator was initially offered to O.J. Simpson and Mel Gibson. They both turned it down and Schwarzenegger stepped in.
  • Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger earned roughly $21,490 per word in the movie The Terminator. He received $15 million for the role and spoke only 700 words.

BEAM ME UP SCOTTY, PLEASE!
