[edit] A Day with Doodles
Hmmmm.....I wasn't aware that Doodles is Sigourney's uncle. But there's no mention of those weird TV skits that I used to see in between late afternoon Little Rascals episodes and Popeye cartoons. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Do you remember how funny these stupid skits were?

[edit] Fat hair
- Beefart says: I think the first quotation offered may be a misquote. I have never heard of it. I have heard another version, which goes something like this: "Doodles, your hair is getting thin". "Well, who wants fat hair"? Captainbeefart 11:16, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

- On the standard recording of Spike Jones' William Tell Overture, as they come down the stretch, Doodles is yelling "they're tearing hair out... there's hair all over the place... I don't know whose hair it is... (gasp)... it's mine! ... and there goes the winner... FEITLEBAUM!" Maybe the the joke about "fat hair" was in some alternate recordings, like from the radio show or whatever. Wahkeenah 11:26, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Beefart deems the following uncited quote to be spurious: "The race is so exciting I'm tearing out my hair! My hair is getting thin! Well, who wants fat hair?". There is no evidence that Weaver ever said that verbatim, although he did say something similar. Beefart believes that the erroneous quote appeared in the article as the result of a confusion between two real quotes. The correct verbatim quote, with citation, has been added.
[edit] Date of Death
Sources disagree about the date of his death.
12 January – [1]
13 January – [2], [3] and many others
15 January – [4]
17 January – [5], [6], [7] and many others.
The main contenders seem to be 13 January and 17 January, roughly half-and-half on Google. Does anyone have the facts? -- JackofOz (talk) 23:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Weaver101.jpg
Image:Weaver101.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
