Ooh la-la!

BUT IN WHICH CATEGORY BELONG THE MIAMI DOLPHINS?City Councilman Jeff Kellogg said that he supports an aquarium for Long Beach, rather than an NFL team, because an aquarium is less likely to jump to another city.

CLASSIC FEASTS: In honor of Thanksgiving, we’re reprinting one of our turkey-day classics--a restaurant coupon that covered a fairly large family. And let’s not forget our faithful pets.

Professors of ancient history know that the last real snowfall at the Civic Center occurred Jan. 11, 1949, long before the discovery of the Self-Serve Islands.

UH, BOSS . . . In his new album, Bruce Springsteen drew upon some Los Angeles Times articles for his subject matter and listed the reporters’ names on the album credits. Unfortunately, Tom Gorman came out as Tom “Gordon.” Says Gorman: “My daughter Cassie, trying to preserve her bragging rights at school, is asking us to change our name to Gordon.”

LIST OF THE DAY: The recent death of John Kingsley, the former Hollywood Chamber of Commerce president, calls to mind the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which he helped develop.

Can you name the first eight actors to receive sidewalk stars in 1958? They were:

* Joanne Woodward

* Burt Lancaster

* Ronald Colman

* Olive Borden

* Edward Sedgwick

* Ernst Torrence

* Preston Foster

And, of course:

* Louise Fazenda

We know. We know. You would have guessed all eight correctly, except that you never heard of Burt Lancaster.
