My badass birthday, my happy world (Part 300)....

Badass Birthday

On this date, in Ohio, 100 years ago, Paul Lynde as born.

He was a comeidan, actor and game show panelist with a very campy snarky style and delivery. He wanted to be a serious actor, but he was always given the comedic parts. And he was good at them. I know him best as Uncle Arthur in Bewitched and as the Center Square in Hollywood Squares. And he was the voice of Templeton the pig in Charlotte's Web!

He was a barely closeted gay man in Hollywood at a time when one just could not be that. But he made fun of it in some of his jokes on gameshows, even if he hated dealing with it in public.

So yeah, his appearances are badass and a gay man doing his best to survive in a homophobic world make him a badass too.

But really, the MAIN reasons he's TRUE Badass is for one thing:

The Paul Lynde Halloween TV Special from 1976 or so.

Pinky Tuscadero. Florence Henderson. Billy Barty. Witchie-Poo. Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch of the West. Kiss! Disco music, singing and dancing!

How much more Badass than THAT can you get????

So, in the last 6 months or so I've noticed an increase in viewers of the Palace (and thank your very much for stopping by. Please come back again!). And so I want to let everyone know that my laptop, over the last couple days, has been wonky: very slow loading pages, some not loading at all. Have to refresh a lot. I checked for solutions, tried everything suggested (that I understood) and nothing.

So just in case the Palace goes dark, well, I guess the old laptop went tits up.

I'll get it fixed up somehow, even if it means buying a new laptop (ugh).

Anyway, I'll see what I can do about it, but in the meantime, as long as the Palace stays up, ENJOY.

Perez Appreciation Post

Today, by the Maestro George Perez, we have this closeup of cover of a Justice League comic book, #197 if I recall correctly. It was one of annual teamups between the JLA of Earth-1 and the JSA of Earth-2. This was the third of a trilogy of issues dealing with this teamup. And here, we have Perez's version of the ten heroes involved from both Earths. (I know I posted something like this before, but not a closeup like this).

Clockwise from upper left: Firestorm (JLA), Hawkman (JSA), Johnny Thunder and his Magic Thunderbolt (JSA), Batman (JLA), Wonder Woman (JLA), The Atom (JLA), Superman (JSA), Black Canary (JLA), Hourman (JSA), The Flash (JSA).

Blow this pic up and check out the details: the different faces, the wings of Hawkman, The powers around Firestorm's hands, etc. Just an incredibly gifted artist, taken too soon.

My badass birthday, my happy world (Part 299)...

Badass Birthdays

On this date, in 1933 in Milwaukee Wisconsin, Gene Wilder was born.

He was a actor, author, comedian, screenwriter and filmmaker. And husband of the taken-too-soon Gilda Radner. He was nominated for 2 Oscars, 2 Golden Globes and he won an Emmy.

But to show WHY he's a badass, let's just look at his roles:

Leopold Bloom in The Producers

Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

The Waco Kid in Blazing Saddles

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein in Young Frankenstein

And there's also appearances in TV shows like Will & Grace. And I just today learned he was voice of Letterman on the Electric Comany!

Total badass, even from my childhood PBS tv shows, and I never knew it.

Sadly, he passed in 2016 from complications of Alzheimer's Disease, at the age of 83.

Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet.....

And so, 40 years ago, sometime around now, this happened.

Yep, that's your own Uncle Polt, walking across the stage to receive his high school diploma.

All I remember from that night is, it was SO HOT (we had to move it into the gym instead of in the football stadium due to rain). Also, when I walked up on the stage it seemed to be a helluva lot of people were cheering, from various places around the gym....more than just where my family were sitting. But then, I may have imagined that, who knows?

I don't really remember anything else, no who the feller is shaking my hand, someone from the school board I'd assume. I know he's not the principal. And I think I'm wearing the only tie I owned at the time.

Aw well, 40 years.....my God, where have they gone?
