Don't Be Shy Unless You Can Be a King!

It's a little clip of heaven.

One of the many skits was Shy King, a take-off (GET IT?) on the old syndicated show Sky King.

One precocious soul has uploaded ONE of these skits, viewable above.  However, the one which sticks most in my memory relies on a silly little bit of prep.

The model plane used in the skits was sitting "on the runway" at rest.  It was drenched in lighter fluid.  Off-camera, "Shy" said, "Fire up the Songbird, Penny!" -- so someone dropped a lit match, and the plane burned up.

Remember, you can buy one or all volumes of The Lost Tapes of Mazeppa by visiting the shop.  The screengrab seen above is from the Shy King skit seen in Tape 4, which MAY or MAY NOT be the one in the video above, or the "on fire" installment I remember.

Now, that's funny! -- at least when you're 13.  See you Monday.

  

A Halloween Special for YOU!

First off ...

This article is from the October 22, 1982 Tulsa World.

Second off:

Some wondrous person recorded the aforementioned special off the air and shared it.  Here is their Betamax dub in its gory glory:

PROOF POSITIVE that you and I aren't the only fanatical Mazeppites out there!  See you Thursday.  Until then, make sure you drink Sebbum-Up COOL!
