Certainly not me, someone who's been reading the "Irish Funny Pages" as long as he can remember. Although I will agree that film producer Charles Schneer's obituary in the New York Times was probably not the best place for the following tidbit:
"Mr. Schneer also produced a biopic about the Nazi rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, released in the United States in 1960 as I Aim at the Stars. (The comedian Mort Sahl made short work of the title, amending it to read: “I Aim at the Stars — but Sometimes Hit London.")
This also brought back memories of the last (OK, only) Drive-By-Truckers show I saw, where Patterson Hood talked about going to rock concerts at the Von Braun Arena in Huntsville, saying that it was years before he realized how "messed" up that was. Oh BTW, I'm trying to keep this blog relatively clean in language terms, so I bowdlerized Hood's language a bit.
