Re: [MOPO] Soupy Sales gets his last pie in the face at 83
Well, we must all be about the same age because between PJ and Glenn I'm having flashbacks to the late 50's and early 60's. I watched Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Greenjeans and Bunny Rabbit every morning of my young childhood. I loved Soupy Sales and watched Sky King, along with Roy and Dale every Saturday (Happy trails to you!). I would run home from school to watch Dick Clark and American Bandstand, even before they went national. Even the Mickey Mouse club and those Mouseketeers! Even at the tender age of 4 or 5, I waited every week to hear Ricky Nelson sing at the end of the Ozzie and Harriet Show. Wow, he was so cute! Sometimes I think back and it seems like somebody else's lifetime. We use to have a local kid's show in Columbus, Ohio called Flippo the Clown and he was on every afternoon. When I was in the first grade, my Brownie troop got to go on the Flippo the Clown Show and I was seated in the first row, on the end, on the stage. When he made his grand entrance, he grabbed my Brownie beanie and twirled it on my head. I thought I was so special!! After the show, we were taken down a hallway to exit the building and Flippo, now without his red wig, was walking in front of us with another man talking. He was using swear words in his conversation with the other man, so from that point on, I wasn't so keen on his show. One of those childhood idols bit the dust that day!! The great thing is, look at how many cherished memories we all have just because of these people. That's a great contribution of someone's life, no matter what.

I couldn't believe how emotional I got. It was the wierdest thing. I've met tons of famous people whom I've admired over the years but when he came to the booth I was working I was completely overcome with emotion. He and his group must have thought I was out of my mind. A grown man practically blubbering over meeting Captain Kangaroo! What a maroon. I've never had that reaction to anyone before or since. He was extremely gracious and generous with the few minutes I got to talk to him. Obviously it's a moment I won't/can't forget and have never fully understood.

Re: [MOPO] Soupy Sales gets his last pie in the face at 83
Sometimes the legend is better than the reality! Remember how "everyone" told how Soupy "got away" with outrageous dirty jokes on his show (like "I took my wife to a baseball game - I kissed her on the strikes, and she kissed me on the balls")? Never happened! See http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/soupy2.asp But the "green pieces of paper" remark is real. I remember when it happened in 1965 and the furor it caused (but apparently no tape of it survives). His show was not shown the following week, but returned the next week. Contrary to legend, Sales did NOT receive tons of money from kids, only a few dollars. See http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/soupy1.asp But the stories are better than the truth.
