in Chexy's Objects, legal, murder, unfortunateToday is the birthday of Nat King Cole, who left us too soon… he was only 45 when he died of lung cancer in 1965. He smoked three packs of Kools a day.
Cole was simply one of the best singers ever. Here’s a sampling.
Paper Moon
When I Fall in Love
Nature Boy (for Porgy)
Tenderly (one of my favorite songs)

in animation, bad hair, politics, stuff I like, unfortunateWhile the Mormons are busily engaged in posthumously baptizing dead people, including famed Holocaust victim Anne Frank. One man, whose grandparents survived the Holocaust and suffered the indignity of being “converted” by Mormons after death, got even, reports the Daily Kos.
The anonymous humorist thought it only fair to follow this absurdity with another, leading to the creation of the “Convert a Dead Mormon to Gay” web site, the idea of which is as outrageously cuckoo as converting someone’s religion after they’ve quit breathing.
Click the pic of the generator below to visit the site and save your favorite dead Mormon’s soul from an eternity without Madonna, cosmos, and Grindr. Don’t know any dead Mormons? They’ll find one for you, thanks to those handy dead Mormon databases.
Don’t know any dead Mormons who weren’t already gay? Me either.

in drugs, gone, language, my nerves, unfortunateThis mostly unattractive building is the Duchess Hotel in Ogallala, Nebraska. The hotel building doubled as the Continental Trailways bus depot, with a hobby shop in the basement, and the Merle Norman cosmetic studio and Crook’s Shoe Service among the storefronts.
Below is a view of the hotel sign looking south on Spruce St. in 1969.
And the same view today. Notice the hotel is missing.
On a 15-degree Monday morning in December of 1974, a three-alarm fire swept through the Duchess Hotel. It burned out of control for more than five hours, despite the efforts of 60 firefighters from Ogallala, Brule and Grant. Miraculously, all thirty guests escaped. Two were hospitalized for smoke inhalation.
Firefighters managed to save the adjacent buildings, including the Prairie Movie Theatre, which still stands.
The fire started in the hotel’s furnace area at approximately 3 a.m.
Today, it’s this…
The remarkably dull Adams Bank & Trust now rests on the site, where the drive-thru ATM is open 24 hours.

in bad hair, lookalikes, stuff I like, unfortunateThe spooky-looking Woodlawn Club on Woodlawn Ave. at 64th St., destroyed by fire in 1919… making way for this magnificent structure…
The outstanding Wedgewood Hotel, built on the same parcel across from the church, as it stood in its Beaux Arts grandeur in 1923. Designed by Lewis E. Russell, whose architectural claim to fame is as one of the designers of the prototype for White Castle hamburger stands. This was his largest-known building, an 11-story “flatiron” masterpiece.
It was demolished sometime in the mid-20th Century. Now it’s a …
parking lot for a dozen cars.
Bonus! Here’s Russell’s White Castle landmark at 43 E. Cermak Road, now a chicken shack.
Mmm… sliders.
