O! Pioneers!
What better way to celebrate our pioneer heritage than two-stepping it? Come and trip it as you go, on the light fantastic toe, as it were. Dance along with Brother Brigham if you dare!
Bwooop!
The trio vs. the pirate-ladyman Recently lis opined that no native Utard remembers Lighthouse 20, the kid show that was broadcast on UHF channel 20. Now I have a slight dispute with lis, in that I remember the pirate on the show was played by a woman, and she recalls someone very different (a man, I presume). Now Lighthouse 20 was not by any means my favorite show (hell I think it replaced Gillagan's Island!), but I do remember it--not really fondly but I remember it. The real purpose of my writing is that I made the comparison of Lighthouse 20 to Hotel Balderdash--a show that apparently ran for 10 years on channel four here in SLC. Now this show was the bomb; not only did it start at 6:00 am 6:45 am and show nothing but 30's-late 40's Warner Brothers cartoons (you know, Bugs and Daffy, but not Porky Pig and certainly not that crap WB churned out from the 50s onward.) These cartoons, of course, were made for adults and the humor was mostly sophisticated in a slapstick kind...
I have so many comments!
ReplyDelete1. B. Young clearly has the snake hips--I only wish I could have seen the fancy footwork.
2. O. Pratt looks a little like Trent Harris, if Trent Harris had a crazy polygamous beard.
3. They should definitely throw a salsa dance event in the Tabernacle.
Hey you! Long time no... well, um, long time no post a comment on your blog!
ReplyDeleteHappy pioneer day.
(formerly d-lo btw)
Did you create this?
ReplyDeleteYou are my new favorite person. I ain't lyin. I'm choking on my bread
ReplyDelete@SE: I am afraid I am guilty of creating this. I believe I first made it in 2000. It has become a Pioneer Day tradition (kind of like the listing of grievances in Festivus.)
ReplyDelete@D-Lo: Heya! What have you been up to? Are you living abroad?
This is Terry Gilliam-esque. What he would no doubt have produced if he had grown up in Utah. Do make more!
ReplyDeleteMB, I am honored by the comparison. In any case this was made about 8 years ago now. 8 years of wonderous dancing Prophets!
ReplyDeleteI do have another feature Brother Brigham. It is called "Tickle-me Brigham." I might post that again the Internet's tubes some day.
Did I mention that when I first showed this to Melissa that she actually cried she was laughing so hard?
I seriously don't remember ever seeing this before, but it made me cry again this time.
ReplyDeleteI officially make doves cry!
ReplyDeleteMaybe its my mother? Maybe its my father?
