“…Leaves No Ability For Enjoyment, No Relish For Resentment. And Though, Like A Man In A Fit, You Feel Not The Injury Of The Struggle, Nor Distinguish Between Strength And Disease, The Weakness Will Nevertheless Be Proportioned To The Violence, And The Sense Of Pain Increase Within The Recovery.“

…The Beginning.
Only Seems Right.

As The Title Suggests…
(or really just flat out says)
…I Was Born…
…OPENING-DAY…
…1980.
The St. Louis Cardinals
…Taking On…
The Pittsburgh Pirates
…For…
THE CARDINALS
…And…
BERT BLYLEVEN
…For…
THE PIRATES
Honestly…
…It Was A Rather…
…QUIET Game.
All The Scoring Was Done In The 2ND-INNING!
And…
…In The End…
…THE CARDS WON!!!
VUCKOVICH Would Toss A MASTERFUL…
…COMPLETE GAME SHUT-OUT…
…Walking 2-Batters…
…Hitting 1…
…Giving Up 3-Singles…
…And STRIKING-OUT 9-BUCS!!!
THE CARDINALS Themselves Only Manged 3-Hits.
Lucky For ME…
…Er…
…THEM…
…They Had…
…GEORGE HENDRICK!!!
His Double In The 2ND-Inning…
…Scored…

Who Is ROBERT QUARRY? A Special DOUBLE-SHOT Edition
Alright…
…I Know…
…I Know…
…Most Of Y’all Haven’t The Foggiest As To Just…
…WHO…
ROBERT QUARRY
…IS.
.Period.
||
||
||
\\//

||
||

THAT’s HIM!!!
Yes, My Peeps…
ROBERT QUARRY
…IS…
“COUNT YORGA“
!!! !!! !!!
I’ve Been A HUGE Fan Of…
“COUNT YORGA“
…Since Early On In My Childhood.
In Fact…
…My Father Used To Call ME…
“COUNT YORGA“
…When I Would Sleep Rather Late Into The Day.
It Honestly ALWAYS Made Me Laugh.
“Well, Count Yorga, Glad You’re Up!“
…He Would Say.
And I’d Just Shake My Head…
…And I’d Giggle…
…And I’d Smile.
🙂
You See, My Peeps…
…There Were…
…TWO…
“COUNT YORGA“
…Flicks.
The First Flick…
“COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE“
(1970)
…Introduces Us To The Character.
He’s A Modern-Day Vampire.
A Count From Bulgaria.
And He’s Preying Upon The Citizens Of Los Angeles!
In The End…
…We Think Him Dead.
HOWEVER…
…It Simply Wasn’t True.
The Very Next Year…
…HE WAS BACK…
…In…
“THE RETURN OF COUNT YORGA“
(1971)
!!! !!! !!!
I Fell Deeply In Love With The…
“COUNT YORGA“
…Flicks When I First Saw Them Back In The 1980s.
Eventually…
…They Finally Released THIS…
||
||
||
\\//
\/
/\
//\\
||
||

…And I Plunked-Down My Money So SO FAST!!!
I’d Wanted My Very Own Copies Of BOTH Flicks So SO BADLY…
…That I Simply Couldn’t Help Myself!!!
(Side Note: THANK YOU Amazon.com !!!)
Anyway, My Peeps…
…I Just Sincerely Felt These Two Flicks Rightly DESERVED A Quickie Mentioning.
Even More-So, I Felt…
ROBERT QUARRY
…DESERVED Some LOVE Himself.
He’s Gone Now.
He Passed Away In 2009, At The Ripe-Old-Age Of 83.
BUT…
…For MYSELF…
…And OTHER FANS Like MYSELF…
…His Legacy In The Annals Of HORROR-FILM-HISTORY Is VERY SECURE.
And…
…Don’t Fret, My Peeps…
…These Aren’t The Only Two Flicks He Made.
So I’m Already VERY SURE He’s Gonna Get Some Sweet-Sweet-Lovin’ Again From THIS Blogger.
However…
…No Role He Played Was As Famous/Popular As…
“COUNT YORGA“
.PERIOD.
After You See Them Both…
…I’m VERY VERY SURE You’ll Understand WHY!!!
!!! !!! !!!
😀
… … … … … …
T’is OPENING DAY In The STATES, My Peeps!!!
WOOT!!!
I. AM. READY. FO. SHO.

—Yet Another Sleepless Night Is Upon Me.
I Know It.
You Know It.
I Honestly Don’t Know WHY I Even Bother Trying, Sometimes.
As I’ve Told Y’all Before…
…I Am A PROFESSIONAL At “TRYING”…
…I Just Royally SUCK-ASS When It Comes To “SUCCEEDING”…
…At Nearly Everything…
…Ever.
I Do NOT Concede Failure…
…I’m Just Prepared For It When It DOES Come About.
Which Is Most Of The Time.
BUT…
…I DO CONTINUE TRYING…
…AND TRYING…
…AND TRYING AGAIN…
…AND AGAIN…
…AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Nobody Fails All The Time.
So I Figure The Odds Of A Random Success Are At Least Somewhat In My Favor.
It May Not FEEL That Way…
…But It’s LIKELY True.
Right???
RIGHT!!!—
