(Possibly the best-ever pic of Ray, by the king of Shut Up, Little Man arteests, M. Flinn.)
It's been a little too quiet around this blog, so it's time for another morsel from the collected rants of the greatest unknown comedy team of all time, Peter Haskett and Raymond Huffman. This bit is one of their most beloved moments, a monogue by Ray concerning soup and killin', in that exact order. This solo of his is a good example of what Seymour Glass of Bananafish Magazine was talking about years ago: "I grew to appreciate the rhythms of Ray, his soliloquies. They take on a musical quality. Soon I would listen to him more than I would my music albums." You'll also notice that Hitchcock had nothing on ol' Ray when it came to being a master of suspense-- listen to the countdown of his menacing arrival into the other room, always accompanied with the threat of brandished soup. An absolute classic. (Note: File size is 500K.)
