    Default Soupy Sales Dies at 83

    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

    Most of his stuff was before my time, but I distinctly remember him as a fixture on Hollywood Squares.
    I don't need my name in the marquee lights....

    He was a pretty funny guy. I liked White Fang.

    You're right he was a regular on the Squares show.

    Soupy was always getting hit in the face with pies.

    Btw I never knew anyone name Soupy so I looked him up.

    He was born Milton Supdman in Franklin NC. He got his nickname from his family. His older brothers had been nicknamed "Hambone" and "Chicken Bone"; Milton was dubbed "Soup Bone," which was later shortened to "Soupy".

    He was a WWII vet, served in the South Pacific. Came home and got his masters in journalism from Marshall.
