Did he cover starting the car? And the "other way of stopping". What's "the other way of stopping"? Throwing it in reverse. That … would do it.

The other way of stopping. God his timing is so great. I have that on vinyl. I should rip it.

Oh you must! and then when you've ripped it you really ought to zip it up and send me a copy *grins*

His timing was just immaculate. Even now, and it must be at least ten years since I last revisited it, I can still hear the pauses when I read.

It's a classic comedy album. Everyone should have a listen at least once.

On Bob Newhart, I had occasion to meet his mother a few months before she passed away. She was elderly and obstinate; but, dependent so when she wanted to get up to do something I asked her if she needed help to which she replied "What do I look like, a horses ass?" I responded "I don't know, I've never been this close to one." Then mother Newhart grumbled "Well, at least you've got a sense of humor." I could see that the apple hadn't fallen far from the tree.

Don't forget Cheech and Chong.

Love some goon show.
:lol:

A friend and I had that down pat. Nowadays we do it differently.

What's a Greek Urn?

About 30% less than he did two years ago...

:lol2:

Does anyone remember a tv show "Dave Allen At Large"?

One of the Nashville tv stations used to show his re-runs at midnight. Guy used to crack me up.

"Where'd ya get those lumps?"

I didn't know the TV show, but "my" generation of comedians revere him.

Oh I used to love Dave Allen's show. Don't know if it had the same name here. But that's another one that we used to gather as a family for.Come to think of it, TV pretty much formed the core of our family's interactions lol.



Funnily enough, I was intending, after our discussion on comeduans, to dig out a Dave Allen clip for this thread :)


One of the things I used to love with Dave Allen was his sign-off. 'May your God go with you'. I liked that. It was warm and inclusive.

I also remember being completely fascinated with the fact that one of his fingers had the top missing. Funny the stuff that sticks.

Is it stuck in Sheldon's ass?

He always struck me as a class act. May be off the mark, but, that's how I took him.

My parents had Bill Cosby Wonderfulness and my brother and I listened to it over and over. Chicken Heart. :lol2:

The next comedy album I remember is Wild and Crazy Guy. Had that one pretty memorized too.

And who could ever say enough about Newhart. I read I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This. I highly recommend.

Wild and Crazy Guy as in Steve Martin?




[eta] that cat was the best fuck I ever had.
