This episode of Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness debuts on October 29th, 2025, which is the 29th anniversary of Norm’s passing which was on October 29th, 1996.
In keeping with that theme how about a DBG from October 29th, 1994? I don’t plan these things. Sometimes the universe works in mysterious ways. Keep sending those signs, Big Guy. I’ve got three recent examples to share on Patreon soon. One, was a wild one that you cannot explain as coincidence. So, if you’re interested in reading about them and other posts I’ve made, let your fingers do the walking over to Patreon, check them out and I will thank you here in advance.
The title of this episode will be: Two Betty’s a Brinkley and a McKinley
I used the B29 Superfortress as a thumbnail because of all the 29 references I mentioned earlier. And because Norm is always da bomb.
