There was nothing reassuring about finding this staring back at me from the bottom of a mildewy box of 8-track tapes

@ShakespeareQuotes Reading these lines out of context, and being an American geezer, I can’t help but think of 1950s TV icon #HowdyDoody’s pal #ClarabellTheClown.

Did you watch first runs of The Howdy Doody Show on TV? If you did, you know what that means? That's right, you are a senior citizen, like me. ;) I'll bet there are a lot of folks now-a-days who never heard of Howdy Doody or Clarabell the Clown. Did you know that Robert Keeshan, aka Captain Kangaroo, was the first to play Clarabell the Clown? I didn't until this morning. I should probably mention Buffalo Bob who was the show's host or maybe cohost, Howdy Doody was a puppet after all. People born in this century are likely not to know of what I speak, for them there are sunny days, and everything is AOK ... wait that is 20th century as well.
