Awesome spontaneous comedy by Mr. Improvisation himself, Jonathan Winters. Ain’t nobody funnier [h/t Iowahawk for the vid].

So here’s to Elwood P. Suggins, Lennie Pike, Leslie the Sanitation Engineer, The Annoying Airline Passenger, Maude Frickert and many others. May St. Peter somehow manage to open The Gates for you while he’s doubled over laughing.

And this is The Overnight Open Thread.

Captain Beefheart‘s fuzz-bass-infused version of  “Diddy Wah Diddy.”
That lilting tune was written by Willie Dixon and Elias McDaniel (aka Elias Bates, aka Bo Diddley) and later covered by The Sonics, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and others. The title may be slang for a suburb of Baltimore, but here on The Blogmocracy it refers to a whompin’ stompin’ version of
The Overnight Open Thread.
