Okay, now that we can decompress a little: Flip Wilson's "Ugly Baby" routine...

1. That's great! I remember him more from the 70s.

...especially Geraldine, of course.

2. I wish MeTV would show reruns of his show.

He was great! I loved Geraldine as a kid.

Wish they'd run "Laugh In", "The Carol Burnett Show", and "The Smothers Brothers Show", too. Now, those four were GREAT TV!

3. You can see Flip on the cable channel Aspire

I love Flip Wilson. I remember watching his show back in the day.

6. I used to own one of his "dirty" albums...

...really tame by today's standards but considered "blue" back in the day.

By the way, howdy BBM...I'm the DUer formerly known as Amerigo Vespucci. My hard drive died and with it all of my logins / passwords. I don't even remember what email address I used to sign up as A.V...

...so I might see if there's anything Skinner can do to get me back in as A.V., or I may stay like this.

7. Hey, you killed Miles and you're going over for it.

Great screen name! One of, if not my all time, favorite films.

Sorry 'bout the hard drive, but I like the new handle.

Yes sir, lot's of those old albums and films were considered outrageous at the time.
