Soupy Sales, Alice Cooper and a bug

Rate: 6 Flag

Having lunch with Soupy Sales every day was a way of life for kids my age growing up in the Detroit area. There's not a one of us who hasn't stopped to remember him oh, so fondly as we learned of his death. And in remembering Soupy, we feel nostalgic for our childhood and a huge sense of loss as we realize we're a whole lot older. 

RIP Soupy.

This is a great example of Soupy's genius for those of us who knew him well, as well as a perfect introduction for those of us who didn't:

The Soupy/Alice clip is great - but I was really excited to see a glimpse of El Kabong at the end. El Kabong and Baba Louie were my favorite cartoon when I was a kid. Well, they were tied with Bugs Bunny, really. But Bugs is practically a real person - so I don't think of him in terms of cartoon characters most of the time.

Does that make me weird?
Awesome. And I love the fact that Alice Cooper can act.
This made me laugh....I never knew Alice to take a pie in the face...at least THAT kind of pie!
Now THAT is bizarro (and super-clever!)
Jamie -- I say yes, that it does make you weird, but just a little and in the best of ways.

AHP - Alice Cooper was my very first concert. The first time I saw marijuana. Alice's opening act was Steely Dan.

Hi, Buffy -- Glad you laughed.

Steve -- I figured you'd get a kick out of this one.

I have to lay a least a little blame for my weird sense of humor at the feet of Soupy Sales. I watched this guy every day during my formative years. It's been fun to see the clips of him that are being posted. There's another one on OS that is a bit more risque. Lonnie Lazar posted the link on bobbot's post on Soupy:
I don't know what magic Lonnie did to get the link to post so nicely. If he or anyone knows how to do that in comments, let me know.
I loved Soupy! Same as you watched him during lunch time but in Baltimore. I had no idea he continued doing skits. What an odd combo, Soupy and Alice.
