OT: RIP Robert Hegyes - one of the "Sweathogs"
You youngsters won't remember, but Robert Hegyes was a character in "Welcome Back Kotter with John Travolta in the 70s. He played Epstein along side the other Sweathogs - Vinnie Barbarino (Travolta), Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington, and Arnold Horshaaack.
Classic sitcom. I couldn't find much in the way of video clips, but if you ever get a chance watch some of those old episodes. It'll make you laugh.

This post (or obit?) looks like a paper Mr. Kotter would have graded.

I really enjoyed that show when I was a kid. Kotter's wife's image is stored on one of the far back shelves in my mental "bank". RIP Epstein.

The original, though, was "Up your hole with a Mello-Roll!" which was cleaned up for TV.
