Art Appreciation Month Begins Now!

Some have said that this blog lacks culture.  Well, I'd like to find out who said that and rip him a new one.  But just to show how artsy-fartsy I can be, I have decided to kick off Art Appreciation Month in May on the RedNeck Bachelor Blog Site!

Now before you get all bored and see what disgusting stuff is showin' on YouTube, jest wait a ding-dang minute.

You know that I, Cousin Willie, would not bring somethin' like Art Appreciation Month to yer attention unless it was a jaw-droppin', knee-slappin, butt-kickin' good time...Am I right?  Oh, you knows I'm right!

Okay then, let's get er started!  I know it ain't May yet, but I'm so danged tickled ta get this thang goin' that I can't stand myself!

Who better ta start this thang off than the one and only:

Art LaFleur

What is there ta say about the world's busiest actor.  Ol' Art has been in approximately eighty million feature films and television shows and chances are you don't even know his name.  But I bet y'all recognize him.

Yup, this is Art LaFluer.

Over the years he has played dads and uncles and grandpas.  He's played coaches and sergeants, CIA agents, henchmen, detectives, wardens and neighbors.

He has even been the tooth fairy and Babe Ruth.  Twice.

Despite his consistent appearances in TV and the silver screen, not much is known about the real Art LaFluer.  Well that's about ta change:

Art LaFleur was born to a travellin' band of menstral singers back in Gary, Indiana in 1943.  Y'all might notice I didn't say minstrel singers.  That was not a mistake.  Menstral singin' enjoyed a small flash a popularity back in the early forties before little ol' Art came along.  After a short period that style of music kinda dried up.  Ahem.

Due to this lack of interest, Art's folks moved around a lot, which was tough on the little guy.  He learned early that to make friends he had ta come up with interestin' characters, personalities and stories to make new friends.  This was the early beginnin' to what would blossom into a long career as a spy for the US government.

That's right.  Art LaFleur was a spy.  

I was able to obtain several hundred classified government documents thanks ta a Googly search of a couple a Russian websites.  Just search fer the phrase "Art LaFleur is a stone cold killin' spy" in Russian.  Oh, yeah.  Make sures ya use the Old Novgorod dialect or you'll get some weird results about Leonid Brezhnev's time as an eyebrow model fer Avon.  That's a story fer another time.  A weird one, too.

Anyhow, after a dozen confirmed kills, Art decided a life of danger and intrigue wasn't fer him.  So he quit that and went inta acting.  Ironically, his first television role was playing a Russian spy on "Rescue From Gilligan's Island".

This show was broadcast across the world as everyone wanted ta see our favorite seven stranded castaways finally get rescued.  When the KGB saw that Art, a known US agent, was portrayin' a Russian spy with such incredible skill and accuracy, it sent things over in Mother Russia into a tizzy.

One thing led to another and eleven short years later, the Berlin Wall fell, taking with it the remnants of Cold War Communism.

That's right.  Art LaFluer personally put an end to the Cold War.

Today Art, although aging gracefully, has had to put aside his typical character of some cute chick's Dad or the local high school football coach.  Cause after a while that gets kinda creepy-like.  But if ya squints a little bit you can still see the guy next door that gives ya mean look fer checkin' out his teenage daughter.

God bless you, Art LaFluer.  And Rock On!
