Ramble On - Or How I Get Through This Life

Hope It's Not a Fruitcake

December 14th 2007 05:47
To celebrate the beginning of the 12 days of Christmas, my family and I watch Pee Wee's Christmas Special every December 13th. I realize that Paul Reubens was using coke throughout most of the show's five seasons and that "Pee Wee" is actually a slang term for crack...go figure. I imagine the drug played no small role in the execution of 1988's Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special. Pee-wee's Playhouse was subconsciously infecting the minds of children with a subversive (but oh so convincing) message of holiday naughtiness. The Christmas Special is a hands-down, balls out affair. (HA!) It is the greatest Christmas special ever to air on national television. Yep I said it!



I especially enjoy the musical segments. Cheers!

Bless me, I thought I was looking at the spirit of Christmas past there for a moment. Lovely to see you again.

Watched the first vid, but have to confess I'm not sure I can take the 80sness of it.

By the way, check out this young lady's MySpace page. I'd be curious whether you like, dislike, or are indifferent to her music.

I was lucky enough to catch a couple episodes of the Playhouse recently and then even got to watch Pee Wee's Big Adventure again. Dynamite post!!!!!!!! (If this was eBay I'd give you a lot of plusses!)

I listened to every song posted on Alina's My Space. Her songs have an eerie dissonance that I like. Thanks for the hook up friend!

Thanks so much! I am glad that someone else likes Pee Wee besides me.

So pleased to see you back.

Stay well.

I never saw this... as a kid, I never liked Pee Wee, since he was real, and I liked cartoons.

What about The Grinch?

I realize that Pee Wee is not for everyone but he has a special place in my heart. When my son was young we would watch Pee Wee every saturday morning over homemade pancakes or waffles.

Grinch would definitely be number 2!

Hiya Mis

haha! This show looks like an absolute riot. I have heard of Pee Wee but never actually seen any of his shows. Grace Jones on there would be enough to give the kids nightmares surely?

What a great tradition you have. WIshing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, happy new year. May 2008 and be filled with love and laughter.

Whoa.

I mean... Whoa.

That was more than a little strange?! And was that Lawrence Fishburne as the Black Cowboy?

I think if I was watching this as a kid I'd wanna either take drugs or go and wash myself clean *shudder*

!

Hope you had a Merry Christmas, Mis... Merry ChristMis?

Pee Wee's Playhouse is so naughty! During this special...Floory (the talking floor) asks Miss Yvonne (his hot neighbor) to come stand over him so he can say hi! Good Lord... a shower is in order!

So good to see you friend!
