With cloying, painfully artificial cutesyness, same as always.
Is it the real life, or is it a fantasy?

Dunno, but I have been encountering a little silhouetto of a man (Bismillah!) of late. Also, I remember where I was when I first heard that song; I was duly impressed (though the dinosaurs outside were more impressive). I liked rock with some classical chops, at least back then. But, of course nothing really matterssssss/to meeee....
What did Stalin do with or to the Glorious Soviet Of Shippin' Clerks in Novosibirsk, Irkustk and other Siberian locales? Were they considered kulaks?

He shipped them to America, where they were under the watchful, though agitated, eye of Emerson Treacy. As this was during the Depression, they were actually considered pretty darned wealthy.
Emerson Treacy! Are you drunk??

"Oh, for the love of Pete. I asked Santy Claus to get Spanky a bottle of water, and instead he brought me a bottle of Jim Beam. What was I supposed to do, throw it in the kitchen sink?"
Did kids then not know that married women, including cute teachers, generally took on the surname of the *husband* upon tying the knot, or was this some bizarre practice that was begun later, perhaps as part of the New Deal. (Eleanor Roosevelt of course did not have to change her surname).

No. Unfortunately, the educational system in their area was quite poor. In fact, the likes of Miss Jones, Miss Lawrence, and even Miss Crabtree never had anything more than a fifth grade education. Even they didn’t know about the surname.

Great reluctance, apparently.
What did Stymie comb his hair with?

LOL.
In fact, Stymie, due to medical misadventure, actually had a derby surgically attached to his pate. The derby required little grooming and no combing. The chin-strap was just for show.
If Dickie's nurse was smart enough to pass the nursing boards, why couldn't she figure out that a certain phone call was just some cheap radio drama with (as usual) Billy Gilbert as the heavy?

Too much wrestling with Dickie led to a head injury that made figuring things out like that rather difficult. In fact when nursie was speaking to her fellow switchboard operator, she thought she was actually talking to her dog.
What did Andy Kaufman think of Dickie's penchant for wrestling women?

That's where he got the idea, actually.
If Dickie Moore and Peter O'Toole made a movie, would you go see it?

They did, in essence; it was called My Favorite Year. Mark Linn-Baker played Dickie. One of the funniest movies ever made. And (Canadians take note) the great Lou Jacobi was in it, playing the usual Lou Jacobi role. Florence of Arabia was brilliant in it.
Apart from "Our Gang" and "The Little Rascals", were the OTHER names for the shorts, like "An Agglomeration Of Cute Kids," "Young Bipeds At Play" and "Weep-wah Cakes And Fire Engines"?

Our doggie and tabby cat, often chasing other cats inside or outside the house. This reminds of the joke "what has four legs and chases cats?" (Ans: Mrs. Katz and her lawyer).
If Harry Bernard was so proficient at playing cops and/or burglars, what the hell was he doing trying to sell Chubby a fargin' HAT?

As it turned out, Harry was in fact a secret agent going under numerous disguises. He eventually shopped the Gang out to the Man.
What exactly is a fargin' hat, and which of the kids wore it?

A Fargin' hat was a little known hat that was briefly part of the Wells Fargo uniform. It was worn by Harry Spear, who used it as part of one of his many incognito disguises, in order to keep himself concealed from the public in his later years. Harry was reportedly periodically harassed with Telegram requests, however.
What about dem Fargin' Bargain boots?
