In the spirit of Slothropian Appearances: following the Texas
Chainsaw Massacre narration, we see Larroquette in WWII (!) as a
Marine fighter pilot in the South Pacific, as depicted in the tv
show "Black Sheep Squadron" (or "Baa Baa Blacksheep" I can't
remember which-- maybe both). This is the one with Robert Conrad,
otherwise famous for asking people to knock a battery off his
shoulder. Time period is sometime late seventies, I think.
Not that I devote significant chunks of time to following the life
and works of John Larroquette mind you. No more than the next guy.
