Pumpkin Bread

You Suck at Cooking with seasonal fare
fit for a king, providing his majesty likes
the guts of a large gourd made into loaves.
That does look yummy!
Slather on the butter and off we go.
That looks like it would go quite well
with a mug of hot tea…


You’re Always Welcome at Our House

This is a wonderfully dark piece from the late,
very great Shel Silverstein.
I eat this stuff up with a large spoon!
Shel was something else, he could be a really
gentle soul or an over the top, in your face,
force to be reckoned with.
No matter what he did it was superb, even his
mundane (for him) material is light years ahead of
everyone else.
And the bodies just keep piling up!
That house has got to be packed to the rafters…

It’s Frankensteen

One of the best scenes from a truly classic flick.
Mel Brooks made movies like nobody else.
That might be a good thing 🙂
All kidding aside, he is/was exceptional.
Space Balls, Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood Men in Tights,
Silent Movie, and this gem, Young Frankenstein are
the cream of the crop when it comes to parody and
outright satire.
It wasn’t just the scripts either, the actors he used
created a certain chemistry that really bound it all
together, especially this flick…you should see the
outtakes and bloopers, they reveal a lot of what
the cast thought about each other.
Marty Feldman shines in this scene, and the look
Gene Wilder gives him at the end is priceless…


Zipper

I laughed out loud on this one.
Tommy really has his timing down in this performance.
And, just as important, his flow and momentum.
A superb piece, very funny by any standard.
I find his girlfriend…stimulating.
