No more "Mixed-up LaTrivia" for quite some time

I enjoyed doing Mixed-up (Mayor) LaTrivia but it seems (where I am in my listening queue) he's going into the Coast Guard - so it will be many episodes before I get back to LaTrivia being mixed-up.

In the meantime, amuse yourselves with something else on the blog... for instance, have you ever taken a gander at the books shown on here?

No, I'm not selling them, not do I receive any fee for putting the books on the blog; it's my way of telling you that these books are searchable on the internet (at least 80% searchable anyway) and I use them all of the time.   You should too.   They make for some interesting reading.

Still on the road to getting there but not quite there yet...

Mixed-up LaTrivia [#06]

The mixing up of Mayor LaTrivia (Fibber McGee and Molly) continues.  While still not classic McGee-LaTrivia, you can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.

This episode is about Frank Lloyd Wright:

Mixed-up LaTriva [#05]

The topic of the day is "lit." This may be the weakest of the 5 posts so far (I promise, it gets much better.)

Also, this is hampered by about a minute of very bad sound quality. I fixed what I could but I can only do so much:

Mixed-up LaTrivia [#04]

Still not into full swing, here is the 4th time that Fibber, Molly and Mayor LaTrivia get into a mixed-up quarrel.  This is about a parade route:

Mixed-up Latrivia [#03]

Somehow, this one ends up with the McGee's having an argument!

Mixed-up LaTrivia [#02]

Mayor LaTrivia getting mixed-up (or is it the McGees who are mixed up?) when he begins talking about the "Kentucky Darby." Still not at their best but you can tell how they are progressing towards greatness:

Mixed-up LaTrivia [#01]

Gale Gordon didn't become Mayor LaTrvia on the Fibber McGee and Molly Show until 1942 - this was after Harold Peary left for the Great Gildersleeve show.

We all remember Mayor LaTrivia as the person the McGees would love to mix up.  But they didn't start mixing him up until well into the 1942-1943 season - actually some seven months after he became Mayor LaTrivia.

Personally, I love those mixups - as a matter of fact, I think they are the best gags on the whole show.

I thought it would be fun to chronicle each and every LaTrivia mix-up, complete with audio.

As time goes along, they get funnier. The first one here really isn't that funny.
