Soupy Sales is dead...

...at age 83. And if you think that's a bad name, just consider his real one, Milton Supman.

Oh, and his obituary mentions that his parents owned a dry-goods (as opposed to wet ones?) store in Franklinton, N. C. They sold sheets to the Ku Klux Klan. How would you like to be remembered for that?

I absolutely loved Soupy's style -- his show was fun for the whole family (most of the time)
