This may come under the heading of "What you need to know but don't want to hear", but somehow or another some half-bald old fart managed to get his picture put in on this site where yours is supposed to be.
When I logged on hereafter I'd been telling my 28-year-old daughter all about what she missed by never seeing your showI had a clear picture of what you looked like, & that fellow didn't come close! Well, maybe he is close, but not enough to be a cigar.
But now that I think of it: My daughter is ten years older than I was when some friends and I who WOULD NOT MISS Mazeppa (and also had in common that on any given Saturday night we weren't going to be somewhere getting laid) would gather around the popcorn bowl & black-and-white TV at 10:30 & laugh ourselves silly. Then we'd turn the TV on.
But the thing of it isnow that I rememberyou were six months older than meand probably still areand I just started getting Social Insecurity and Med-I-don't-care. Which can mean only one thing: We've both gotten ooooooold!!!
Thank goodness we've not been cursed with Growing Up! I've noticed that I've been spending a lot more time thinking about the here-after: I'll go into a room and the first thing I'll think is "Now what did I come in here after?"
If my memories of inconsequential things, such as "Are my pants unzipped because I need to take a whiz or because I just did?" become fuzzy and faded I just have a feeling that the memory of Dr. Mazeppa Pompazoidi's Uncanny Film Festival & Camp Meetingthat helped me get through adolescencewill be one of the last ones to wink out.
And I just wanted to say "Thank You".
P.S.: I was one of the dozen or so in Arkansas that bought your 45-RPM record; I recorded it on 7-1/2 ips RTR tape & then onto a CD; when my daughter dragged mekicking and screaminginto the 20th Century I had your theme song music programmed as my ringtone.
