In Friday's Almanac, we incorrectly reported that Kelsey Grammer had starred in a movie remake of McHale's Navy.
Hundreds of angry Tom Arnold fans have written to inform us that the former Mr. Roseanne Barr starred in the 1997 box-office bomb McHale's Navy.
They suggest that the editor was confusing that cinematic classic with another film flop, Down Periscope, starring Kelsey Grammer.
(Incidentally, the software used by Tube City Almanac keeps rejecting the name "Kelsey Grammer" as obscene for reasons known only to the little elves that wrote it.)
We would like to extend our sincere and heartfelt apologies to everyone upset by this terrible and disgusting error which inadvertantly confused two of the monumental motion pictures of the 1990s. Those responsible have been forced by Old Leadbottom to scrub barnacles in Taratupa.
Also, the entire staff and mismanagement of the Almanac would like to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers.
I think the reason your website censorer is scrubbing KG is because at one time he was arrested for attempting to, um, morally corrupt a minor, I forget now whether the child in question was a boy or girl. Nevertheless, the story sank to the bottom of the ocean and has never shown up on sonar again. I guess there was a big bribe, er, compensation made to the outraged parents of said corrupted minor.

Thank God this terrible and disgusting error was finally righted. I haven’t slept all weekend worrying about it.
Sincerely yours,

Lane, would those allegations make Thomas Hose the Kelsey of McKeesport, or is Kelsey the Thomas Hose of Hollywood?
I would like to apologize to Mr. Hose, by the way, for comparing him to the star of Down Periscope, Gary The Rat, and The Sketch Show. He deserves better. I’ve seen a couple of Kelsey’s movies, and frankly, as a comedian he’s a heck of a school guard.
