Phyllis Diller was the life of the Party

Phyllis Diller circa 1973

Does anybody remember what a rockstar Phyllis Diller was in the 1960's and 1970's?  The kids don't know, but she was like Lady Gaga in her day.  In fact, one could argue that had there not been Phyllis Diller then, there would be no Gaga now.

I mean that.  Phyllis was brash and loud.  Phyllis was wild and naughty.  Phyllis was a woman in a man's world at a time when few women had made it into the old boys' club.  Seriously.  And she was the center of attention.

Phyllis hung out with Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. and probably everybody from the Smothers Brothers to Sinatra.  Seriously.  She was that big.  And she could rock the mic.

My favorite Phyllis Diller persona was a sort of cross between a bar hag and a housewife.  Crusty, raw and speaking the truth.  The specific memory is of a lady standup comic with a microphone in one hand, a long cigarette in the other, who rattled jokes like a sub machine gun.  She was a pro.  And she was Goddamn funny.

Phyllis Diller rocked it.  She paved the way for female entertainers.  She was truly a hard rocking priestess.

Obama tells a Republican Joke

President Obama tells a Republican Joke

Need it explained?  Ok, it's a play on the old joke format that starts with some number of something walking into a bar.  Next thing you know, he's going to put a duck or a 12 inch tall pianist on the bar ...

I see our American president as having a sense of humor.  Like, if he could away with it, I think he would tell more jokes and have more fun .... you know, just be himself.  That would be cool.

So, go ahead, Barack ... tell a real joke ... like about how the elder Republican urinates all over the bar and the bartender laughed about it.  Maybe you would like to cut loose with a "pet monkey" bar joke.  There's always the old one about the panda, who eats bushes and leaves.

You have my permission.  What's that?  Yeah, after the election.

I am a duck I am an Island

They don't much let you feed the ducks any more, not here in my neck of the woods.  So the ducks really don't have much reason to interact or approach you.  Probably a good thing I guess, but not nearly as much fun as the old days.  

Method acting is like pretending to be a role to such a degree that you are having that person's emotions (or some such other stuff).  Deep like Dinero, huh?

Have you walked the dog yet today?
