Ok ... since someone beat me to it, what was the name of Flash's (stuffed) stunt double?



Notsoflash?



Nope ... "Flush" (rhymed with "plush"). They had a life-sized stuffed-toy stunt double for Flash, and a pedigreed (the original Flash was a pound puppy) dog who was a stand-in (not sure why ... maybe it could sleep on cue?)

Illinois is the ONLY state where the pay phones take PENNIES?!!



That's pretty cool. But could you imagine putting 50 cents worth of pennies in to make a phone call.

And what about the poor soul who has to empty and carry it. GOT to weigh a ton!!!
