Saturday Matinee – Glassblowing, Giant Rabbits, Paul Reubens, Delinquents, Riding the Curb
I took glassblowing in college in the middle of winter. Pure awesome. The instructors all had scars, and our own teacher accidentally sat on glow worm. Burned his ass in glass class.
The biggest danger was blowing the bubble. Inhale super-heated air by accident and you’re gonna die. [h/t Woosk]
Night of the Lepus Trailer. Big bunnies be eatin’ and killin’.
Pee Wee Herman Unmasked! Interview with Paul Reubens.
Mr. Grimes was a dick. I like him, at least in the first half of this instructional video from 1947.
11 years later, Mr. Grime’s protégés were curb dragging in 1958 L.A.
Have a great weekend and be back here tomorrow for more fun.

Captain Kangaroo 1927-2004 [Updated]
Captain Kangaroo, aka Bob Keeshan, was my favorite as a lil’ tad. There he is, with a pocket full of carrots, and Bunny Rabbit in the other. My memory of Cap’n K does not include that screaming red jacket. It had to be blue, because I watched him every day in glorious black and white. Now check this out:
Yep. Captain Kangaroo liked Heineken. BTW, the urban legend is false – Bob Keeshan did NOT fight on Iwo Jima in WWII, and neither did Lee Marvin, although both were Marines. Film at 11.
[Update: Apparently that photo is from a Halloween party circa 1980 something, and is not Bob Keeshan. It’s still awesome. Hat tip to Dave.]
