newbluebaby brought up one of my favorite dead people, Paul Lynde. Paul's an Altman Family Favorite, actually. If he were still alive, and I well connected enough to know him, we'd be great friends. Why? Because he was a brilliant quick-tounged tell-it-like-it-is bitch. Oh, and he's gay. How fitting to honor him on the eve of Gay Pride Weekend. If I could throw a party and resurrect and invite my favorite dead peeps, he'd be on the list along with Oscar Wilde and Abraham Lincoln. You'd have no trouble finding us, we'd be the ones in the corner laughing our fucking asses off.
For those of you who don't know who Paul Lynde is, here you go. He was born in Mount Vernon, Ohio (Kenyon College kids know this) and more famously known for his role in Bewitched and his square on Hollywood Squares. Here's just one of a thousand zingers from his life on Hollywood Squares when it was good. You know, before it was shitty Whoopie Squares.
Peter Marshall: What did the Lone Ranger always leave behind when he left town?
Paul Lynde: A masked baby.
Here are more.
