We lost another one yesterday!

Soupy Sales is no longer the Soup de Jour!

When I was very young I used to watch Soupy all the time, but it took a few years (until I was a bit older) to get hip to half of what he was saying and doing!

But, it was a kids show that was really done by and for stoners, as this look back shows.

Soupy holds the distinction of having more pies thrown in his face than anybody else on TV and some of his conversations with "white fang" (You only see the dogs paw!) are classics..... !

I managed to find one!

This is a bit he did with Alice Cooper!

Allan, thanks for the link. That was a classic video. Soupy was so cool and his show was hilarious. I still laughed at this clip, which I haven't seen in 30 years. Still funny. He will be missed.

Guess that I mostly just remember the pies in the face. I wans't a stoner, & perhaps was too young to get the subtle double entendres that went over my head.
