DHS - Citizens of Hollywood

The Citizens of Hollywood are an attraction in and of themselves. Post all of you photos of these entertaining characters in this thread.

 

Jack Diamond looks like a bit of a shifty character to me. Never bet against him in a card game.

Why not start a DCA Street Performers thread under Disneyland?

 

I don't know why Dorma Nesmond is holding this sign. People seem to naturally break into Wild & Crazy Applause whenever she appears.


Wild and crazy

 

Officer Peabody has found the holy grail of all policemen: a donut!


The Grand Prize

 

Here's Daley Reels back in the days when he was a mere film historian. In the last two years, he went to New York, made it big on Broadway and is now back in Hollywood wearing fancier clothes.

Officer Peabody at work, controlling the crowd. Looks menacing, doesn't he?


You shall not pass

 

Just as I arrived, the Hollywood Public Works crew did what all civil servants do best: they went on break!


Break time

 

Officer Pat Friskem seems to be a little confused. It's May, not December. For Sonny Burbank, however, it's always campaign season.


Christmas in May

 

What's worse than raining cats and dogs? Hailing taxicabs, of course!

Here we see Oscar Meyerweiner at the taxi stand on Sunset Blvd. Despite his frequent cries of "Taxi," not one drove by. Soon he started flagging down ECVs and strollers, asking each if he could get a ride. After several minutes, a gentleman pushing one of those big plastic Disney rental strollers stopped, kicked his kid out of the seat, and walked off with a new, paying rider.

As I post this, it's Labor Day, so I decided to make this week's Flickr posts themed around labor, work, etc. This is the first of a three-part story of two guys working hard to get a date with Evie Starlight.

Hollywood mayor Sonny Burbank demonstrates his rope jumping prowess while Beau Wrangler looks on in disbelief.


Hopping to it

 

Not to be outdone by some pretty-boy politician, Beau breaks out his harmonica for a mid-day serenade.

After watching the efforts of Sonny Burbank and Beau Wrangler to impress her in hopes of getting a date, Evie Starlight shows us what she thinks of the two "gentlemen." In the end, Sonny and Beau decided that their friendship is too important to let a woman come between them, and all went a way happy. Thus endeth our three-part drama on Sunset Blvd.


Are those guys serious?

 

Director Otto Von Bonn-Bahn, and AD Vladimir Pooey:

 

Jack Diamond does some pretty amazing card tricks. His latest one is where he lets a guest pick a card, then he picks a card that is exactly half the value of that card (all without knowing the value of the original card). Here, Officer Pat Friskem holds up the card that Jack picked after the guest drew the 7 of Hearts.


It's Amazing!

 

That's Wink Wright, film critic. "If you don't have anything good to say about a movie, come sit by me."
