RIP Soupy





I was writing about how to use a tunafish sandwich to teach math, e.g. Pythagoras, and how mathematicians used to be philosophers, e.g. René Descartes. Then, I heard about the death of Soupy Sales and decided to write about that today. I think comedians can be philosophers too. Thanks to Pythagoras we can figure the area of half a tunafish sandwich. Thank to Soupy we have pies in the face and White Fang.

You just KNOW Descartes wasn't always thinking up smart things to say. He probably spent many a night sprawled on the sectional in his underwear watching Soupy guest-host on Carson. "Hehe, that Soupy," Descartes would mumble to himself, then nod off halfway through the second guest.

Soupy Sales seemed to be ahead of the times to a great extent with his show's format -- talking/joking with the camera, etc.; his re-runs are too funny
