RIP Soupy Sales

[Worf101]

Soupy Sales passed on today at Calvary hospice in the Bronx. He was 83. Doctors repeatedly attempted to revive him by hitting him in the face with pies, unfortunately that just doesn't work in this day and age.

I know I'm dating myself with this one but this guy was like Groucho Marx on Crack for kids. Pies, pies and more pies, Fang, The Count. It didn't get any more manic than this cat. Part of my misspent youth.

Ya beat me by about a minute!

Yeah, remember him well. So long, White Fang, Black Tooth and The Claw. You'll live forever* in my memory.

*or at least as long as it holds out.

I also watched and enjoyed his show. Now kids watch the Wiggles. I would not trade my TV childhood for anything. Thanks Soupy oh and you might not want to pie the big guy. On second thought he created comedy so he would probably enjoy it.



Speaking of dating myself, I do not mind dating myself but could someone take me out for dinner once in a while. Attempt at humor in tribute.

Fave Soupy Sales joke (at least when he did standup):


"A boy and girl going to a baseball game can be very romantic; he kisses her between the strikes, and she kisses him between the balls."
