Dairy Queen

I posted this piece the week of the late, great John Pinette’s
passing six years ago, and I thought it would be a good idea
to do so again, being the last week of Summer.
That and the fact that I just drove by a Dairy Queen.
He was one dependable stand-up comedian, always good
for a laugh or three.
I had the privilege to see him live during the promotional
tour for his very first recording at the Montreal Comedy Festival
back in the day and I have held him in very high esteem since then.
Top Twenty Stand-up Comedian of All Time in my humble opinion.
He certainly has the material to prove that many times over.
This is a classic bit, some great lines here…



Fat Man’s Prayer

An oldie but a goodie from Victor Buono.
Victor played an evil villain named King Tut on
the old Batman television series, and had roles in
several other network shows over a twenty plus year
period beginning in the early sixties.
He was a fairly talented thespian and was nominated
for an academy award for his work in films.
He put out a comedy album in 1971 called “Heavy”
and this one of the cuts off of it.
Some great lines here…
