Found: Patty O'Furniture's long lost brother

That's right, it's good ol' Phil McCracken, he of prank phone call fame. Of all places, I found proof of his existence in Seattle's Lake View Cemetery...mere yards away from Bruce Lee's grave! I was there in '05 snapping photos, when I looked down and saw his famous moniker etched on top of a tombstone. A little research (Wikipedia) shows that Phil's actually a noted sculptor (who knew?!) who has exhibited in places like the Smithsonian. Yeah, that Smithsonian. Makes me wish I had actually taken notice of his work, instead of focusing on his awesome name. Now, has anyone seen Mike Hunt?
