He doesn't look that young to me. Unlined, yes, but that's because he's not stick thin.

The reactions of the interviewers are a riot. I shook his hand!

Ernie has an RV and drives around the country, having cookouts with any group of strangers he can find!

Hmmm, the YouTube comment puzzles me.

Did the fox news guy mean, 'I bet you find some stuff on youtube that you find 'useful' in helping things along', or did he mean, 'Have you ever uploaded video of yourself 'enjoying some alone time''?

(disturbing to consider, one way or another)

but then, why would Ernest need YouTube when he has this to come home to. . .

Good catch on the Airwolf decade. The drunken bum who played the pilot was and is an idiot - couldn't he even pretend to mimic the way a real cellist achieves vibrato? Damn, that was a lame show. But it as poorly acted and had cheap effects.

Holy Schnike! That Tova bit made me laugh out loud. No, really! Got a magazine?

XWL, I think the anchor immediately realized what would happen to Borgnine's comment.

So Ernest Borgnine is the guru of the Ace of Spades Lifestyle?

Ron म्हणाले...

If only John Edwards had the wisdom of Ernest Borgnine...he might be VP today!

Ron म्हणाले...

hmmm...in that Edwards/Borgnine analogy does that make Obama Tim Conway or Joe Flynn?

Speaking of Gavin Macleod . . .

Was this really a DVD set people were clamoring for?

(and I have to admit, I may add it to my rental queue, just to relive my childhood horror)

As far as the YouTube crack, MadisonMan's take makes more sense, but I prefer my misreadings of his comments, anyway.

bleeper म्हणाले...

Include Tim Conway in the discussion and Obama becomes Carol Burnette. Only without the penis.

Carol Burnette had a penis? I mean I know she was bossy and everything but damn. Who knew?

Ah, Ernie taught her that ear tugging thing...code, I tell ya, code!

What's that, your fantasizing about Ernie Borgnine and Charo with Joey Heatherton watching? Again? Isn't this the one where you wear a Razorback plastic hat and dress like Margret Mead?

Ron म्हणाले...

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

P_J म्हणाले...

Doesn't his wife Tova have a line of cosmetics?

I hope there's no connection there.

Will Ernie build a shrine to Joey? She sure earned it.

Peter V. Bella म्हणाले...

He gets the answer to his questioh:
"I masturbate a lot."


Then he shakes Ernies hand!!!!!!!!!!

Ernest Borgnine's Skin Cream.

Putting the skin, and the cream, in skin cream.

He just has to hope that Ernies a lefty.


What if he's ambidextrous?

CJColucci म्हणाले...

For some reason, I can't hear what's on the YouTube clip. What did Borgnine say that had everyone laughing so much?

Anthony म्हणाले...

What if he's ambidextrous?

HE CAN BREATHE UNDER WATER, TOO?????

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

So is that what went on in McHale's navy?

cjcolucci: Apparently forgetting that he was wearing a lapel mike, Borgnine, when asked what he does to stay looking so young, at first says he daren't say, then leans over and says sotto voice -- but everyone can hear him -- that he masturbates. A lot.

David म्हणाले...

Yes, perhaps, but entirely without result.

Beth म्हणाले...

And he married Ethel Merman for two days and lived to tell the tale.

Thirty-eight, but who's counting?

In her autobiography, the chapter titled "My Marriage to Ernest Borgnine" is one page, left blank.

Anthony म्हणाले...

I for one will now always associate that term with Gretchen Carlson.

I refuse to say anything more on that count.

Ernie may have the longest filmography of anyone in the history of Hollywood. Off to check IMDB.

Just checked with my wife (aka the world's greatest nurse) who specializes in geriatrics. She says most men never ever quit thinking about their manhood until they are taking the last few breaths.

I hope I make it 91.

And of course to do so on the internet you will need two hands.

Well, the fountain of youth may not be in the palm of your hand, so to speak.

But according to WebMD, Ernest Borgnine may have found an effective way to lower his risk of contracting prostate cancer.

(Poor Mayor Giuliani, too much catholic guilt to take matters in his own hands, I guess, good thing they caught it early)

The Dirty Dozen.

Troop, that is actually one of my favorite WW2 movies. Donald Sutherland acting as a General was priceless. He almost used the Oddball character from Kelly's Heros.

Wish I wasn't late to the show. This looked like a fun thread.

Actually Doocy had the best line.

"Oh! And I just shook his hand!"

But the joy of the whole thing is that only a seasoned citizen can say that on national tv and everyone thinks its cute.

They don't make actors like Ernie, and Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson anymore.

That is no shit. You know the thing about those guys is that they were real people who did real jobs before being actors and becoming big stars. All three were in the military and saw combat. Actually when you looked at all those guys from the day they had a lived in look about them. Whereas even guys like Bruce Willis are essentially manufactured tough guys.

Now the tough guys are shitheads like Bruce Willis. Shit. He lost his woman to the fuckin pool boy.

Thanks Troop. Now I need to clean my monitor and you made me waste a full swig of Guinness.

The oldest man in the Hebrew Bible was Methuselah who often spent time down by the river watching the women bang clothes against rocks while their thin shifts would get soaked and cling to their sensual semitic limbs.

Well, yeah.

XWL म्हणाले...

To bring this back to Election 2008, which candidate will step up and suggest that porn site monthly subscriptions be tax deductible as medical supplies?

Which candidate will not only discourage the prosecution of massage therapists who offer 'happy endings', but instead subsidize the activity?

These are questions that must be asked at the first debate.

If Jim Lehrer doesn't ask these question at the debate focusing on domestic policy issues on September 26th held at UMiss, I'll be very disappointed.

vnjagvet म्हणाले...

I understand Jimmy Swaggert is now proclaiming a faith healing miracle for the prevention of prostate cancer.

It is based on his analysis of the Borgnine interview and materials linked on this thread.

Hallelujah!

Why have mags under the bathroom rug when you can get all you can handle (get it?) on the web.

Saaaaaved at last. Saaaaaaaaved at last. Thank God Almighty we are saaaaaaved at last.

bleeper म्हणाले...

Love the one you're with.

vnjagvet म्हणाले...

Of course, Jimmy also has his own personal testimony as to the efficacy of the cure.

sakredkow म्हणाले...

Joey Heatherton did a week as cohost on the Mike Douglas show ca. 1967-68. I wish they would Youtube those. It gave me a reason to hurry my a33 home from school.
Hey, anyone remember Ernie reading Playboy in Flight of the Phoenix. I think it was the issue with the Playmate of the Year on the cover.

Save you the effort.
Mickey Rooney is "only" 88 but got his start a generation earlier than Borgnine. His 1st feature film was in 1927 and the old, little guy was still churning out character actor role product in 2007.

80 freakin' years!

But I'm a bigtime Ernie Borgnine fan. Not a Mickey Rooney fan, who I consider a garden gnome in his old age.

Ernie Borgnine was great in movies and after my uncles mentioned how much they loved McHales Navy, I finally got a DVD and watched 12 shows. Damn, they were funny!

I think the secret to Borgnine looking much like he did 50 years ago, with great vigor - is not do to plastic surgery or organic juice but simply being a tough, ugly goat like Jack Palance (who was famously doing one-armed push-ups in his 70s). Beauty fades, but when you are an ugly chunky guy like Ernie Borgnine - your looks seem to last..

How can you tell? Looks like the way he reacts to every thread. Not that I read him. I just scroll for 20-30 seconds until I see a name that isn't Trooper York, read that comment, then scroll for another 20-30 seconds until I'm past that batch of Trooper Yorks. Makes the comment section more manageable that way.

save_the_rustbelt म्हणाले...

Ernie did some Spongebob Squarepants - wow.

Whenever the grandkids are here SBSP is a major necessity.

And Ernie did Wagon Train, one of the coolest shows ever, even though the wagons never did get to California.

Mickey Rooney never did that.

Joey Heatherton in a short skirt and go-go boots --- helped me survive my youth.

Amexpat म्हणाले...

Well, my telephone rang it would not stop,
It's President Kennedy callin' me up.
He said, "My friend, Bob, what do we need to make the country grow?"
I said, "My friend, John, Brigitte Bardot,
Anita Ekberg,
Sophia Loren."
(Put 'em all in the same room with Ernest Borgnine!)

It's the middle Jonas brother's birthday today. He's 19. I know this because I have a daughter who HAD to buy the new CD on Tuesday.

blake म्हणाले...

MM--

Your disclaimer reminds me of all the fathers who had to go see Freaky Friday and Mean Girls because their daughters loved Lindsay Lohan.

Heh. Jes' sayin'. NTTAWT.

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

I've seen those 2, plus Parent Trap. Mean Girls was funny -- but it had a great cast. Freaky Friday? Not so good, but it had Jamie Lee Curtis in it. Parent Trap? Well, it wasn't as good as the original one.

Didn't spend money to see them, but got them from the library. (Actually, daughter got the PT on VHS for a gift from someone).

As for the Jonas Bros., the daughter likes the CD. It's put on her iPod so I don't have to hear it.

Herbie was the one where they had to photoshop her.

Her very figure was not "family friendly", except in the not often meant sense of encouraging males to start a family with her.

My word, that's wonderful! Exhibit one that less, truly, is more.

(Borgnine is fab. That clip is the funniest thing I've seen in ages.)
