It's the first day of July, and the first two QR Birthday Bunch birthdays of the month: please join me in wishing a very happy birthday today to Elizabeth R. and Laura K.!
Other folks born today include cosmetics maven Estee Lauder, Sydney Pollack, Dan Ackroyd, and Liv Tyler. It was on July 1st of 1862 that Congress established the IRS (boo, hiss!), in 1963 that ZIP codes were introduced, in 1979 that Sony introduced the Walkman, and in 1991 that Court TV debuted.
Sadly, enthusiastic TV pitchman Billy Mays passed away a few days ago. Dan Ackroyd played one heckuva TV pitchman himself on Saturday Night Live, and in honor of Mays' passing and Ackroyd's birthday, I present to you one of my all-time favorite SNL skits, "The Super Bassomatic '76." Hope it brings you a smile on your birthday, Elizabeth and Laura — have a happy birthday! (If you go out tonight, I bet you won't order the fish!)
