Thread Name: Tony Clifton - Got info?
Subject: RE: Tony Clifton - Got info?
Sorry Bill....I know I'm an ignorant, low-life, shitkicker, with an IQ less than a huckleberry bush, but I read the book, saw the movie, watched several TV specials, and was watching back then...... all through his career from the days of SNL and Friday's.....and it is my lowly opinion that Kaufman was a complete shit-for-brains with the comedic genius of a rutabaga which is even farther down the evolutionary ladder than the aforementioned huckleberry.
I have met and know some folks who have gone to great pains to explain the error of my ways and to point out that I just didn't get it. I got it. I got it then, I get it now..........I don't want it. However, on the plus side, he gave new meaning to the word dickhead and Funk&Wagnall's now have his picture under that listing as both a lasting tribute and harsh reminder.
