According to Wikipedia, Red Skelton's birthday is coming up on July 18th. It would have been his 95th (if my math is correct). I was wondering if we might want to celebrate it in someway here on the forum. Red Skelton is one of my all time favorite clowns and from what I've read about him he was an all around great person.
The wikidpedia entry on him is really interesting. I had no idea he was a painter (some of his paintings have sold for $80,000+ and were mostly of clowns!) and wrote short stories and music. What an amazing guy!
