Popular Culture (Personalities) 20110715: Don Rickles
Donald Jay “Don” Rickles (I like it that he uses his own name, and I would here but would have to give up my low UID to do so) is unique. I am actually not that fond of him, but he is an American icon. Born 19260508, he is now 85 years old, and going strong! That is quite an accomplishment just by itself!
His trademark is really being a jerk. I am a jerk unintentionally from time to time, and when I am a jerk, the results are usually not very good. He does it intentionally, and that seems to work for him.
I was going to write this piece about a completely different subject, but had what I call the Jay Leno TeeVee Show on for background noise, and Rickles was one of the guests. I thought that he was dead, but I guess that I had him confused with Rodney Dangerfield.

Popular Culture (Humor) 20110624: The Firesign Theatre
Hello, all! This installment was inspired by Kossack dsteffen who correctly identified a rather obtuse reference to the abovenamed comedy troupe in the comments at the big orange Wednesday past on My Little Town. I gave him two honorable mentions in the comments there, but perhaps this more than honorable one will get him some notice.
The Firesign Theatre was, and continues to be still, a very bizarre and very funny comedy troupe. This is going to be an extremely difficult piece, because most of their work was on vinyl, and around 45 minutes long. In addition, everything sort of interlocked, so what is hilarious in context is likely to fall flat without the previous half hour or so of it.
I shall attempt to extract the ones that can sort of stand alone, and for the ones that do not shall attempt to include what might seem to be rather long pieces that do not make sense until the end. Hey, that is what we do here sometimes.
