Whoa, so few replies on this thread. I was truly saddened to hear about the passing of Soupy. We--at least most of the dipshit guys in high school--loved him. The jocks and the cute girls--well, not so much. Actually, I'm not so sure about the cute girls--they wouldn't tell me. More precisely, they wouldn't talk to me. But, gee, Soupy, "oh, reh, oh reh." The guy was just wide-eyed, open, friendly and goofy with seemingly no underlying agenda or malice. He seemed to really like White Fang and Black Tooth and Pookie.
When I was in high school, I got to see a couple of shows being made. And, it was just kind of bizarre. Everyone just sort of screwing around, being funny. Nobody was uptight. The set looked hand-made by hands that didn't exactly know how to make things. But, it all worked really well. I'll be missing Soupy. But, his name lives on (sort of) because one of my screen names for many years now has been "Pookmeat."
Hmnn, after re-reading this, maybe I could have been more popular in school if I didn't walk around saying "oh reh, oh reh" so much. Guess that could get on the cute girls' last nerve. But, I wouldn't know that for sure because they would never talk to me. I've got to stop obsessing about this.
