Mongo's Yard and Need Help



13 comments:

  1. I wish there were more "Need Help?" signs around that had buttons to push...I'd be pushing as soon as I crawled out of bed in the morning!

    But Mongo's Yard I don't understand. Who needs to advertise his yard? Maybe Mongo, I guess!

  2. Hi Lowell. Perhaps this is a warning to everyone else to avoid Mongo. I assume the reference comes from Blazing Saddles.

  3. I'm pressing the help button to figure out who or what Mongo is. ;-)

    1. Hi Lindy, there is no telling just what Mongo is. Some say it is an alien, but I don't know about that.

    1. Blazing Saddles was released in 1974, and Alex Karras played the small part of Mongo, a thuggish type who only had one line. "Don't know...Mongo only pawn in game of life." This was a Mel Brooks western parody starring Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, and Madalyn Kahn.

  7. well, I remember Blazing Saddles, but not this reference specifically.
    it is nice that mongo has a satellite dish in his yard.

    1. We can only imagine that Mongo has retired from being the town bully, and is now spending his time watching TV using this satellite dish.
