Another Prime Time Owner passes.
 
I was surprised to learn that Merv Griffin passed away yesterday. May he find a Derby winner in his next life.

Are you sure about that? I didn't hear that and cannot find any story about him passing away. I know that Mike Douglas died yesterday.

Merv might be interested to know this.

RIP Mike Douglas.

He titled his memoirs, "I'll Be Right Back."

Sorry about that. I saw his picture and you must admit that they both look alot like Jaba The Hut. Honest mistake.

Merv is still trying to arrange that match race between his Steviewonderboy and the Kentucky Derby winner.

It'll be called the Wheelchair Kentucky Derby.

Good luck, Muuuuuuuuuhhhhhvvvvvv!


P.S. Mike Douglas was a wonderful entertainer ... and a very classy guy. Requiestat In Pacem.

the late Merv Griffin was on TVG last night
and stated Stevie Wonderboy is coming back in NOV
he was quite entertaining along with Frank Lyons
his horse didn't fare as well however~Cobalt Blue
but that's ok 2Hot, when I first read the story
I thought Catherine Zeta Jones was now available
but the real deceased Douglas passed on his birthday (81)
ala Shakespeare

I was hoping this would not be bumped up again. I promise not to post another passing again. I glad Merv recovered. Mike Douglas wasn't as lucky.
