Chachi loves Joanie

I was thinking about how I need to buy some razors which led me to wonder how I was doing with shaving cream, which made me think about Bugsy Malone because they shot what looked to be Shaving Cream from their mini-Tommy Guns which made me think about Scot Baio, who starred in Bugsy Malone which made me think about Chachi, the role he played on Happy Days which made me wonder if Chachi was short for Charles and how many kids born in the late 70’s early 80’s were named Chachi by their dippy mothers who were  in love with Scott Baio?  I’ve never met anyone named Chachi but I’ve known plenty of Scotts.

    No, “Chachi” means ex-Hollywood, unemployed Republican pariah. You have a “choice” in Hollywood…
    follow the Spielberg crowd, or stand in the unemployment line.

    That’s crazy, I had no idea Scott Baio was a Republican. He never struck me as someone who was out and about… like Bo Derek.

    The bio from http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/scott_baio/biography.php:

    “Unlike many of his fellow actors in Hollywood, Baio is a very conservative Republican. He was a member of Young Americans for Freedom. He was one of the famous guests in attendance at President Ronald Reagan’s state funeral.”

    Reagan had two huge landslide victories, but you’d think from the rottentomatoes description that Baio was part of some fringe group. (Come to think of it, in Hollywood he is a fringe outsider).

    I read somewhere that Chachi really did love Joannie.
    Good man, Chachi.
