New Time Range
On: Sunday, May 30, 2010
You may have noticed that with the Marsha Warfield post we've crossed the arbitrary VSC limit for comedians who released their first album before 1979. Over the next few months I'll be moving some posts from the Classic site to the Vintage site, and moving forward I will be adding comedians who started their careers in the early 1980s. I will add a note to those moved from the Classic site.
Any comments will be appreciated.

Spoonerisms
On: Saturday, May 29, 2010
Named after William Archibald Spooner
I worked with a fellow who mangled his sentences so often that I started writing them down. If I can find those handwritten pages I will post some. For now, please enjoy the classic spoonerism (translation below in small text.)
"You have hissed all my mystery lectures, and were caught fighting a liar in the quad. Having tasted two worms, you will leave by the next town drain."
(You have missed all my history lectures, and were caught lighting a fire in the quad. Having wasted two terms, you will leave by the next town train.)
Pat Buttram - Off His Rocker 1962

Maxwell Emmett Buttram

Addison, Alabama, USA

Jun 19 1915 - Jan 08 1994 age 78

Official Site

Pat Buttram is nearly six feet tall, especially standing up.
He is overweight and underpublicized.
He does not drink, smoke, or wear suede shoes.
He was born in Alabama and made his debut as an entertainer there while attending college. Before graduating he had become a radio personality and was making more money than he could spend. He left college in his junior year and has since learned to spend more money than he can make.
Young Mr. Buttram--who looks deceptively middle-aged because he refuses to wear knickers--is an authority on the Civil War and spends many hours looking for loopholes in Robert E. Lee's surrender agreement.
His other hobbies include humming softly, weaving pewterware, and watching bananas ripen.
He has been called "the nicest guy in show business" by many insincere people.
Pat Buttram has more friends than he can count, which is not so much a tribute to his sweet personality as it is an indictment of his failure to complete his college mathematics course.
Additional information is available in The Last of The Mohicans, by James Fenimor'e Cooper.
BUT SERIOUSLY, FOLKS . . .
As the star of his own CBS Radio program, Pat Buttram is heard five days a week by the fortunate listeners in Southern California to whom he broadcasts his unique blend of topical humor, wry comment, and hilarious stories. He is one of the most oft-quoted personalities in Hollywood today. In addition to radio, where he has been at home since migrating to Chicago from his native South, Buttram appeared in over a hundred motion pictures and television shows with Gene Autry, back in the days when that baseball magnate was riding horsehides with the horses still in them. Autry aficionados will remember Pat as the bearded sidekick who contributed comedy to Autry's outdoor epics by falling in the water trough, stealing pies from the cook, and other such antics.
But when Autry turned from pictures to pitchers, Pat shaved his beard, put on his clean shirt, and unleashed his real wit. In recent years, he has made guest appearances with George Gobel, Jack Paar, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Ed Sullivan, "The Real McCoys," and Jim Backus, both as himself and in various character roles.
A favorite of Arthur Godfrey, he has paid a number of hilarious visits to the Ol' Redhead's network shows.
A new facet of Pat's talent was brought to light when he was asked to preside as Toastmaster of a dinner honoring Steve Allen in Hollywood. He was such a riotous hit that he has been besieged with similar offers ever since and has scored equally smashing appearances at dinners honoring Jack Oakie, George Jessel, Walter Brennan, Casey Stengel, and Desi Arnaz.
This album was recorded before a live audience in Hollywood, and if the genuine enthusiasm they display on the record herein is any kind of weathervane, the outlook for other audiences throughout America is bright and sunny.
After twenty-five years of learning his trade, Pat Buttram is ready to be launched into orbit as a shining new star.
All of the material in this album was written by Hal Kanter and Milt Josefsberg. Kanter and Josefsberg are 12' 3" tall, weigh 397 pounds, and have five children. Their hobby is Pat Buttram.

HEADLINE: OLD DOG LEARNS NEW TRICK
On: Friday, May 28, 2010
I saw the ad in the local paper: buy a fence, no interest for 2 years.
Sounded pretty good, and the timing was excellent since we had two new dogs.
So the salesman came calling, measured the yard, and with the neighbor's fence already in place I spent thousand of dollars less than I thought I would.
Tick, tock, time goes by, two years, in fact, as I faithfully make payments on my interest free (for two years) fence.
The latest bill comes to my email inbox, as the balance has gone up hundreds (and hundreds and hundreds) of dollars.
You smarties out there can see where this is going.
I call the store, ask about the increase in the balance, figuring that one of my kids bought, say, a used car. Or had their bathroom refinished and I didn't know about it.
The nice lady at the store tells me, "why that's the interest charges." I (really) still don't get it. She tells me "you weren't charged interest for two years. But it's been accumulating and since you didn't finish paying for the fence in full within the two years, the billing has 'caught up'."
More words were exchanged, the salesman should have said this, the contract should have said that (it did), and I feel once again that financial institutions will squeeze every last grain of cash from us and smash every quantum of trust between us in their pursuit to make MORE MONEY. Think about that the next time you pay $3.00 or more to take YOUR OWN MONEY out of a cash machine.
You grasshopper can learn from my stupidity. By the way, in the interest of balanced reporting, I would have bought the fence anyway.
Lately, these comedic blog posts are taking on the scent of "rants." Next time, I promise, back to the funny.

I've read your comments and emails and they've helped me decide what to do with the two companion blogs, Classic and Contemporary Standup Comedy.
Contemporary Standup Comedy will be closed and purged on June 1. In the future, eMail your requests to me.
Classic Standup Comedy will remain, but with no new updates. eMail your requests to me.

As always, I'm sending out a big "Thank You" to those who have sent me links and vinyl LPs. We all benefit from your generosity!
