The customer begins to laugh at himself but suddenly stops to let out a yee-haw! of his own when a spider drops down in front of his face. |
One trick that involves a can and 10 nails has to be seen to believe. And then there's the jackalope -- a horny rabbit -- the biting mongoose in a green cage, George, who likes to hang around in the ladies' room, and Chief Osceola and his squaw. |
Actually, the chief and his lady are just mannequins, but there's a few folks roaming the nation who don't know that. Two years ago, McCarthy decided to take the couple north with him on vacation. |
He placed Osceola in the backseat of his car and tied his hand up so that it looked like the chief was waving. McCarthy still laughs when he thinks about some of the double takes people took when they saw Osceola driving by. |
The restaurant, which seats 65, offers everything from frog legs to pecan pie. It also offers the only package liquor store in the area. |
And while waiting to be served, customers can always be entertained by Miss Miami, an old fortune telling machine that no longer answers such questions as, "Am I too fat, Will I win at the races, Do my friends think I'm a jerk?" When Jackie first learned that she was going to move to the tiny community from upper-state... |
Today a team of jackasses couldn't pull her back to New York. |
Headquartered in Lewisburg, PA, The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra is known as one of the premiere performance groups for American music written around the turn of the 20th century. Since 1985 the group has been re-discovering and performing the music of that era in hundreds of concert venues and in a large number of record... |
Walt Disney Company has relied on the orchestra's recordings for the outdoor theme music heard at Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland, Disney World, and Disneyland Paris since 1989. |
Rick Benjamin is the founder and director of the group. He rescued thousands of orchestra scores that were being discarded from the library of Arthur Pryor, a conductor from the earliest days of the recording industry. This recovery became the catalyst for the launch of the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra. He tells the remar... |
The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra has also meticulously reconstructed the film scores for some 50 silent movies, and performs them at special screenings. They have recently released a CD with some of the best music by the forgotten composers of the silent film scores. It's called The Pioneers of Movie Music, Sounds of the ... |
To say you're from Orange County will make you unique in the state of California, but not in the United States. For there are seven other Orange Counties in the nation. Travel to Florida, Indiana, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Vermont or Virginia, and you'll find an Orange County. But don't expect to feel like you'r... |
The counties range in area from Florida's more than 900 square miles to Virginia's 342. But in terms of population, our 2.2 million is four times the size of Florida's OC (about 600,000 people, second largest) and dwarfs the smallest (Indiana's 19,000). |
While it may come as a surprise to some, we are considerably more ethnically diverse than the other Oranges and will continue to be so as the '90s progress. It is perhaps no surprise that we wield a good deal more economic power than other Orange Counties. |
The charts on the rest of this page detail how we have differed from the others in the past, how we do now, and, in some cases, how we will in the future. |

He previously topped the tally, for a week each, with "Bottoms Up," featuring Nicki Minaj, in 2010 and "2 Reasons," featuring T.I., in 2012.

HENRYVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Emergency crews desperately search for survivors Saturday after a violent wave of Midwest and Southern storms flattened some rural communities and left behind a trail of destruction: shredded homes, downed power lines and streets littered with tossed cars. |
The tornado outbreak, predicted by forecasters for days, killed at least 37 people in four states — Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio — but the death toll was expected to rise as state troopers, the National Guard and rescue teams made their way through counties cutoff by debris-littered roads and knocked down cellph... |
An overturned car sat on top of a pile of wood planks and rumpled metal outside City Hall in West Liberty, Ky. The storm had tossed two white police cruisers into the brick building. At least five people died in Morgan County, where the town is located, and authorities were only letting people who lived or owned proper... |
The Rev. Kenneth Jett of the West Liberty United Methodist Church recalled how he and five others huddled together in a little cubby hole in the basement as the church collapsed in the storm. |
"We're thankful to God," he said. "It was a miracle that the five of us survived." |
A baby was found alone in a field in Salem, Ind., about 10 miles north of where her family lives in New Pekin, said Melissa Richardson, spokeswoman at St. Vincent Salem Hospital, where the little girl was initially taken. The child was in critical condition Saturday at a hospital in Louisville, Ky., and authorities wer... |
About 20 miles east, a twister demolished Henryville, the birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Colonel Harland Sanders. The second story of the elementary school was torn off, and wind blew out the windows and gutted the Henryville Community Presbyterian Church. Few recognizable buildings remained. |
Friday's storms covered a larger area but appeared to be less deadly than the tornadoes that killed more than 240 people in Alabama last spring. |
"I think the concentration of more intense tornados was higher in the April 27 event," said Corey Mead, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. "It was a very much more focused corridor." |
The storm system that swept across the Mississippi River Valley into Ohio, Tennessee and the Gulf Coast featured strong winds that changed direction and increased in speed as they rose in the atmosphere, creating a spin, Mead said. Tornadoes developed when the cold air in the storm system hit warm air moving north from... |
Fourteen people died in Indiana, and 19 were killed in Kentucky, where National Guard troops, state troopers and rescue workers searched counties east and south of Lexington on Saturday. Three deaths were reported in Ohio, and one in Alabama. |

While there is still about 24 hours before the snow is expected to really begin, there's strong confidence that most of the forecast area will experience another round of measurable snow. The placement of the center of this next low pressure system is going to be critical in determining exactly where the bulk of the mo... |
Temperatures are not necessarily going to be a factor since we'll be well below the freezing temperature even with southeasterly winds throughout Sunday night and throughout Monday. As stated above, the center of this low's placement is going to be critical; if the center trends farther south, the bulk of the heavier m... |
That being said, there's strong confidence that most of the region will pick up between 1-4" of additional snow. However, those us of in Albert Lea, Austin, Rochester, Forest City and anyone southeast of that imaginary line could see between 4-6" of snow. Along Highway 18 east of Mason City and parts of Mitchell, Floyd... |
Bill Broderick: Tigers win their first six games for fastest start since 1985. If they continue, will be compared to 1984 start of 35-5. Everything is working, hitting, pitching and defense. Can it continue? |
Nick Buckley: I don’t envision Detroit going 162-0. As great as the Tigers have opened the season, they still might be a wild card team with those pesky Royals also off to a sizzling start. |
BB: Cabrera looks healthy and ready to reclaim his title as best hitting in the game after a speed bump last year. Should we give Cabrera the MVP already? |
NB: It all (health) depends (health) on one (health) thing (health). Can you guess what it is? When Miggy is 100 percent, he’s hands down the best hitter in baseball. Sorry for the fans of Mike Trout and his WAR metric. |
BB: A 21-year-old fresh out of college sparkles at the Masters. Haven’t seen something like this for American golf since a guy named Tiger came out of Stanford. Is this a new era? |
NB: This is like the Michael Jordan Washington Wizards era. Everybody wants to crown the ‘next’ Tiger, while Tiger is still playing. Spieth has a long way to go to reach Eldrick’s level of dominance. |
BB: I agree with the idea that golf needs a new star. Not sure we can flip the switch yet and crown Spieth the new star. Reality is more people tuned in to see what Tiger did in fourth round than they did Spieth. |
NB: Short of Happy Gilmore joining the PGA Tour, I don’t see golf making a comeback with the casual fan to the point where Tiger was piling up Major wins. Maybe I’m wrong, but I just don’t see it happening. |
BB: It was a convincing end, but Red Wings kept their playoff streak alive and are in the postseason again. Do we pull out the octupi? Is Hockey Town open for business again. Or will this be a quick postseason? |
NB: The biggest question is who will be between the pipes. For the time being that’s Petr Mrazek. He’s more than capable, but he might be on a short leash. Either way, Wings will only go as far as their goalie takes them. |
BB: NHL is the most balanced situation in all of professional sports. Often see lower seeds knocking off better teams in the postseason. So one hot goalie, one lucky bounce, one road win can turn things for Red Wings. |
BB: Detroit has a couple games left (what, you didn’t know they were still playing?). Then Pistons look to build for the future in an important offseason. What do you want to see from this team to gain your attention again? |
NB: Draft Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky. Pistons desperately need a stretch forward to clear up some space for Drummond and (hopefully) Reggie Jackson. Frank ‘the Tank’ could be there when Detroit is on the clock. |
BB: Guessing you think Greg Monroe is out the door (and probably is). Team needs to designate stars. Is that Drummond and Reggie Jackson? Is Brandon Jennings still in mix. More important questions, than draft scenarios. |
BB: Spartan fans have barely seen their voices return from celebrating an impressive NCAA tourney and MSU pulls off a recruiting surprise and gets another big man and grabs the No. 3 class in the country? Do you care? |
NB: Fantastic get for Izzo and and the Spartans. After Ngata deal, Lions having a quiet offseason. Do you care? |
BB: Very concerned Detroit hasn’t done more in offseason. Lions seem to be depending on draft and they have been worst drafting team in NFL last five years - so not great plan. Lou Holtz and ESPN parting ways - thoughts? |
NB: Loved Lou as coach. As an analyst, he was entertaining. I will miss the banter between him and ND hater Mark May. |
