I started buying DVDs at thrift stores and found 3 copies of the uncensored Blazing Saddles!

(I have started collections for my family as you never know when the internet will go down.)

My thoughts about the French have reached a new low. [Tires, wine, skis, Nuke Plants excepted]

This story of Brooks antedotes was not often mentioned but it bears repeating.

In 1944, a reporter for the United States Department of Defense writes that Brooks arrived in France in November 1944, and later to Belgium, serving with the 78th Infantry Division as a forward artillery observer. So obviously he was very close to the German lines many times. As his unit moved close to his locations he was making them aware of placements so they could support the infantry for frontal attacks. In one instance he got so close he could hear them singing in camp.

He found a gramaphone record player and a long strand of wire so he hiked up an expulsion pole left by the Germans, used the speaker on the pole, and wired to record player to the speaker. A couple of days before the allies were to hit the location, he started playing Eddie Cantor records just to piff them off. It worked.

I was 13 when it came out. We lived in a test market for a wacky idea called “cable TV,” and they showed first-run movies in heavy rotation. Good times....

Mel Brooks (97) is the only one still alive......................

Usually it's the younger generation that shocks the older.

However, I showed one of my sons (and his wife) the "Blazing Saddles" movie a couple years back and they were utterly shocked that this movie came out nearly 50 years ago.

Their generation was taught that it was absolutely evil to poke fun like "Blazing Saddles" did. But they found it funny, nonetheless.

How much better race relations would be if we could all laugh at each other in good humor.

We almost got to the point where blacks and whites were getting along just fine until the woke and perpetually offended crowd stepped in.

For fit and giggles watch Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank. If you have not, already. I watched it with my grand kids
Stars voices are mel brooks, ricky gervais, samuel l. jackson. It was about as good as Saddles in cartoon form.

Of course, you'll have the good taste not to mention that I spoke to you.

***ass-kickers, shit kickers and. . . Methodists!”***

Then he needs the natives from the 1970 movie Skullduggery, with Burt Reynolds in which the natives protest being called Cannibals because “ME METHODIST!”

Haven’t seen that movie in 54 years!
