They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family.

Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Addams Family.

So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on

Morticia was Goth before Goth was Cool.”

“Kevin Smith choked his mother to death with his dlck.”

“Poor litle hate filled t*lt.”

“stop it tilt, not on this thread please!”

“So this is what fame is up there?”

“thanks”

“LOL”

“After all this is just some bullshlt Sarge thread. He just did it to mock people, as always.

I think this is a torll of some kind. There is no way Tilt is that petty to be jealous of a thread. It is uncharacteristic of him.

Anyone worth having their life commemorated should have their own thread anyway.

Hmmm ... their own thread ... what a great way to be remembered. People deserve no less than their own thread upon dying.”

“
Eat Shlt and Die AGAIN, Sergeant Dlckwad.

but Oh No.... You're not "Sarge".... LMAO. Who is this "Sarge" person? it asks.

"Hmmmm.... Boston Cream."

New Year's Day incident

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soupy_Sales

On New Year's Day 1965, miffed at having to work on the holiday, Sales ended his live broadcast by encouraging his young viewers to tiptoe into their still-sleeping parents' bedrooms and remove those "funny green pieces of paper with pictures of U.S. Presidents" from their pants and pocketbooks. "Put them in an envelope and mail them to me," Soupy instructed the children. "And I'll send you a postcard from Puerto Rico!" He was then hit with a pie.

Several days later, a chagrined Soupy announced that money was unexpectedly being received in the mail. He explained that he had been joking and announced that the contributions would be donated to charity. As parents' complaints increased, WNEW's management felt compelled to suspend Sales for two weeks. Young viewers picketed Channel 5. The uproar surrounding Sales' suspension increased his popularity.

Sales describes the incident in his 2001 autobiography Soupy Sez! My Life and Zany Times.

”

“Soupy Sales doesn't deserve his own thread?

Poor Soupy.”

“Pour soupy?

Sincerely,

MarkO and Salebored”

“I remember that incident, Tilt. I wasn't one of the kids who actually did it, though...

Soupy was awesome. In the 80's, he also had a radio show on WNBC-AM. Imus was on prior to him and Howard Stern followed his mid-day stint in the afternoon. Interesting line-up at the time. Actually, neither of them cared for Sales and made it known.

Otherwise, besides the fun pie-throwing, he had a behind the scenes co-star named Frank Nastasi, who did the voices for White Fang, Black Tooth, Hippy the Hippo and a few other characters that he created for children's entertainment. RIP Soup!”

“Imus, Sales and Stern...

what a friggin line up.”

“i remember watching that when i was little. hard to believe. god everyone's dropping like flies. and here i still am...”

“The New Year's incident got all the press, but the nude girl behind the door - a prank played by the crew - is my favorite memory pertaing to The Soupy Sales Show.

In a skit, Soupy answered a knock at a door. Behind the door stood a young, buck-naked woman - out of view of the audience and camera. It pretty much ruined Soupy for the remainder of the skit.”

“Sales' father ran a dry goods store that sold sheets to the Ku Klux Klan.

Um, um, um - Lawd have mussy on my soul.”

“I too am sad that t*lty doesn't think Soupy needs his own thread, made by t*lty.”

“Fark had a great title for t*ltypoo's thread...........................



Soup's done”

“"No Soup For You!"”

“"The New Year's incident got all the press, but the nude girl behind the door - a prank played by the crew..."

I wasn't around for the original, but I did see the video on one of those "TVs greatest bloopers" shows. They even showed two backstage angles with the girl in the shot (one from the front, one from the back). Unfortunately the good parts were blacked out...”

“Someone remind me again what the good parts are:)”

“Soupy was afraid it would be his ruin, but the episode was never aired.”

“here they are (at the end) not blacked out

“You know the old actors/actresses were the best. I remember watching the show 'The Making of Grumpy Old Men"

You had all these young actors and actresses who were just agog at the stuff Matthau and Company did to each other.

But publically they remained rather upstanding.”

“The Age Before Silicon was indeed a Golden Age.
Nice hat, too.”
