I have the honor of guest-hosting #ILikeToWatch tomorrow, which also happens to be #420day 🫠
#Trivia ~ I started building this playlist in December. At one point, a month ago, it comprised over 100 videos. Since then, it's been whittled down to 18 and I'm still tweaking it. 😅
We depart at 10pm (EDT)
All are welcome. Bring your own munchies 😎
I have the privilege of guest-hosting #ILikeToWatch this week. Since Saturday is also #420day, expect an hour of aural delights. 🫠
We depart at 10pm (EDT)

Useless fact of the day: Marshmallow is actually a plant (Althaea officinalis or in English also Marsh Mallow). Modern marshmallows do not actually contain any marshmallow root at all.
It's from the film "Sun Valley Serenade", released in August 1941 (~ 4 months before Pearl Harbor, to frame it into a timeline) but, since I've never seen it, for me it would be a new film 😄
Oh, I forgot a #trivia about the film "Sun Valley Serenade".
In Italy it was released as "Serenata a Vallechiara", and the white sweaters with a color band around the neck, present in the video of the previous toot, became known as "Vallechiara sweaters".
In 1949, Bob Romby's Baltimore Elite Giants took up residence in the NAL -- the NNL having folded. What team did they defeat in the playoffs for the league championship that year?
The Senators, last seen lugging a 20-62 record into a game against Detroit, appear to have claimed their destiny as #1947League's most consistently awful team.
Name the NNL's equivalent--the team cofounded by Bill "Bojangles" Robinson that finished dead last for six straight seasons.
In the late '30s, Buck Leonard saw today's hero, Dave Barnhill, play -- and urged the Homestead Grays to sign him. What reason did the Grays' brass give for choosing not to?
Name the future #Dodgers Hall of Famer who, while in Cuba, played against today's #1947League hero, Silvio Garcia--and in later years called him "one of the best pure hitters who never played in (the AL or NL)."
Name the #MLB team that offered Max Manning a contract sight unseen based on the righthander's stellar reputation ... then rescinded the offer instantly when their scout met him and saw he was Black.
Did you know that before the release of the film Alien (1979) starring Sigourney Weaver...
...people had to weave their own sigourneys by hand?
