Everybody Wants a Log

On a movie set, one actor lies dead, he is only shown from the waist down, while another actor in gladiator costume looks at the dead actor while holding a sword dripping with blood. "No! No! No! No! NO!" the director comes storming in. "You're not supposed to kill Lord Rodney, stupid! Somebody get me a new Lord Rodney! Show biz!" he mutters as he storms off.
January 25, 1966
I'm not a huge movie person, but did actors die on the set a lot back then? Is this why Russell Crowe wasn't in Gladiator 2? Did Paul Mescal kill him accidentally on set? Has anyone seen Russell Crowe in the last year or so?

Arnie and Brutus are sitting in a bar? Diner? They have cups of coffee(?) but there's a bowl of popcorn on the counter with them. "I hear they're selling artificial fireplace logs that have the scent of fried chicken. Would you ever try one?" Arnie asks. "To burn or to eat?" Brutus retorts.
Remember 2019? Before the world turned upside down? I had stopped doing Born Loser posts in May of that year but returned because 2020 happened and I was home a lot! So I never got to comment on this one or probably any of the others that we'll see this week. I am disappointed that we won't get an original Christmas strip this year though.

It's an artificial fireplace log, Brutus. It's not really going to burn.
