Uncle Bobby is dead....

Dave Thomas...I heard he got busted for cocaine possession.

Never heard about that. What really happened is that he became "Dave Roberts" and moved to Philadelphia.

*And*...he's the father of David "Angel" Boreanaz. Wild, huh?

Dave Thomas was the guy on Rocketship 7. But what was the name of his robot sidekick?

The robots name was Promo.

Got that from google search and found this blog www.rocketship7.com

Does anyone remember why his show ended. I heard it ended in some controversy.

Many years ago a friend of mine ran a little dial-a-bottle service in the east end. One of his best clients was Uncle Bobby in his penthouse near the guild. He would call at 7am asking for specific orders like " 1 bottle Crown Royal, 1 bottle Bombay Gin, and 1 bottle red and one white for the ladies". When the delivery was made would be romping with a couple of Bimbo's and i don't mean casey, Finigan and the birthday clown. Hope the friendly giant wasn't there.

Nothing too bad, just Uncle Bobby liked the sauce a little too much. He retired and moved to Keswick, CTV pension intact.

If he'd still been in the GTA rather than Elliot Lake, he'd make a good Terbite.

Whoa! For a second there I thought you meant Robert Kennedy.

BTW anyone seen Jimmy Hoffa lately? He missed our lunch meeting yesterday and hasn't returned my calls.
