He came into town with CHANGE IN HIS POCKET

Charlie was in Vegas in March, 1984. He is proudly standing, according to what's written on the back, at the Frontier Motel. Was Charlie a gambler? Doesn't seem the type. Of course we'll never know because as usual Charlie is once again simply standing his ground.

Fryin' up somethin' special for the NEW YEAR

Was Charlie a good cook? Did he make a mean fried egg? Or was it a sweet tender fried egg? It's not often we actually see Charlie doing something other than standing or sitting.

And why was orange decor so popular back then?

Charlie AT THE MARRIOTT

It was March 1984 and Big Brother could have been watching Charlie from any one of those windows at the Marriott. He doesn't seem bothered at all. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it Big Brother!

THE DARK SIDE of Charlie

Charlie is such an amiable fellow that it's hard to imagine him having a dark side. Sorry folks, but I think I've discovered something that will blow the Charlie story wide open.

Take a look at Charlie standing outside The Grotto & Quarterdeck in San Marcos in 1984. Happy, affable, good looking Charlie. Now, take a look at his shadow and tell me it doesn't look like the Terminator. Charlie and his shadow, a duo to be reckoned with.

Charlie was a BIG CAR MAN

I don't know what this car is, but it's a big car. I'm guessing Charlie required a lot of leg room.

Charlie was a PIPE MAN

Charlie was smokin'! I can't say smokin' hot since he's wearing a jacket indoors.
