Bill Sacra remembered

Bill Sacra was a professional comedian/impressionist since the age of 16
until he died today, 2/9/05 from testicular cancer, at the age of 46. He
was not much of a road comic, other than doing a lot of Sobel stuff in the
Midwest and south, so perhaps none of you know him other than Bret
(QWikLaff) and me. He never made it big or, for that matter, never even got
close, but he was an amazing, naturally talented artist (on so many levels),
who was filled with undying determination to fulfill his dreams. His often
wild schemes to achieve success were classic among his friends. One of the
biggest regrets of my life was that I didn't see the act he was doing when
he partnered-up with a midget in the mid-eighties ...it just sounded like
such a train wreck to me that I kept making excuses to miss it. Bill was a
unique character who allowed those of us who spent any time with him to have
plenty of Sacra-stories. The Louisville comics will grieve this weekend as
we eulogize him and mourn in disbelief. He was one of those guys who had
mannerisms and a comedy style that got "into your system." His character,
Sal Manilla, the swarthy, Vegas lounge comedian was so funny that most
crowds didn't get it. In order to become "Sal", Bill did such an intense
and realistic make-up job on himself - putty nose, fake teeth and hair,
etc - that audiences couldn't get past how disgusting he was. Bill believed
in himself no matter how much time passed and no matter how big the
obstacles were that he hit. If he lived to be 80, I'm sure he would have
still revealed some kind of plan to take Sal to stardom. He had just as
much confidence in everyone else as he did himself. He was supportive and
encouraging to the end, he was loved by us and he will be missed sorely.

If there is anything to learn here, it is to take care of ourselves. An
inordinate amount of comics have died of cancer - they must lace the comedy
condos with asbestos ...or maybe stuff our pillows with it. I've never
posted to this group or even read much of what goes on here, but I'm
assuming that most of you are comics or work in comedy clubs. Entertainers
and service industry employees usually do not have health insurance and that
is one reason why Bill didn't seek medical attention when he was getting his
warning signs. Outside of paying 400 bucks/month for health coverage, there
are alternatives for us ...I personally, am currently looking into them.
The Internet is a great place to shop for insurance. I've noticed that you
can get catastrophic coverage for around $80./month, which is perfectly fine
insurance but it has a high deductible ($1500.-2500.), or some states offer
alternatives for people who are poor, but not poor enough to qualify for
Medicaid. For instance, the state of Kentucky has this:
http://www.getcarenetwork.org/. I have also heard of something that is set
up for waiters and waitresses, self-employed folks and so forth - I'm not
sure what it is yet, but I'll find out - I suppose someone figured there is
an untapped market there - I've heard that it is really inexpensive.
Anyway, thanks for reading my little tribute to my buddy. He certainly
deserves these things to be said about him in public. If I know him, he's
having a hard time making his transition to whatever state he has passed on
to, so maybe his presence is still hovering around us a bit, and this sort
of thing pleases him. Although he made peace with his God, he didn't want
to die. I can hear his voice in my head saying to us "stop complaining, ya
bastaaads - any day above ground is a good one." Peace to you Bill.

Marty, that was a really lovely thing to write about your friend and I'm
very sorry for your loss.

As an Australian, it horrifies me that this disgustingly rich country
lets it's inhabitants rot to death when they cant afford insurance. No
one will ever be able to explain that to me. I just dont understand it.

When Sobel told me about Bill's illness several days ago I was shocked.
I worked a week with Bill years ago and became fast friends. His
answer baby bit slayed me. This is just too sad. My condolences to his
family and friends.

I seriously thought that was a parody post.
I am not kidding. Plus, it has the 'Bellsouth'
headers, which, I've often associated
with, C.L. (when it is some new e-mail
address or handle I've never seen).
And, of course, there's Tommy from
'Bellsouth', but, I just think that would
be too obvious. And, it didn't
feel like his style of writing.


But, NOW, if that Pretense
Prinny chick, is, correct,
and, it, WAS, actually,
a totally legit post....!?


Well, maybe, this, 'Marpo'
is the one doing a bunch
of fake e-mails, Hhmm!?
Even if THIS one, was
using HIS regular e-mail
addy. Just a thought.


I still find it amazing that, THAT, post
was REALLY-real....Oh well, if
it was, then, that 'Sacra' guy,
gave me a good case of the
giggles, from the grave,
telekinetically through
his friend, (who made
Sacra's life sound like
a very silly Andy
Kaufman story,
that Andy might
tell on Letterman,
and start crying
as he is saying
the words "putty
nose"....).


(--Hee Hee--)


Seriously, if that Sacra dude is for real, and he died, then, may he
rest in peace. And
my condolences to the midget he
"partnered-with", in the 1980's.
Seriously, rest in peace, dude.
And God bless you.
And God bless,
YOU, too,
'Marpo'.
Whoever
you are,
dude.


Seriously, again, that post read EXACTLY
like a parody that I would associate
'C.L.' with writing. I would have most
likely refrained from responding
at all, if I had any inkling that you
were being at all serious. But,
again, Sacra, I'm guessing
would have gotten a kick
out of what you wrote,
and how it came across
to a cynical COMIC/D.J.
such as myself. He's
probably laughing,
too. And I mean
that. (In a good
way.)

Chafey, I do not blame you for thinking the Bill Sacra post was a sham.
I sort of felt the same way. It's the way it was written. There was
plenty in the post that would make anyone with a brain feel as you and
I did. First off, they mention that the guy's been doing standup since
he's 16 years old, steadily plugging away at it, and now he's 46 years
old, and I thought that was kind of funny. I'm not saying it's a cinch
a guy will become famous just by being around for 30 years, but it just
sounded funny to me, a guy doing something he loves for 30 years since
he was a teenager and he's not a household name. Even his intense
desire to achieve success was mentioned in the article, the extent to
which he would go to achieve fame. Then of course there was the
'testicular' cancer thing, not that this form of cancer is especially
funny, only that when a person dies of cancer, does it really matter
what kind of cancer did it? I just now re-read the whole post (just
for verification) - and it still looks like a parody to me. I say this
even recognizing that it could be real, even assuming from all the
responses from those who knew the guy that the post was real, but this
does not alter the very real truth of the matter, which is that the
post had a funny ring to it and I certainly could never fault anyone
for thinking that the post might be a parody. In fact, I still think
it might be a parody.

about bill...it is a beautiful post my friend...sal manilla was my
favorite charactor for sure...that guy (sal) could have had his own
show...for the other posters...yeah bill was for real and he was a real
non bull crap guy with a true demented slant on humor...when we'd hang in
the dressing room all us comics would yell out famous people and bill
would nail them in voice and mannerisms...his w.c. fields was dead on man
no bull crap and his "archie bunker" was a masterpiece to be seen as was
his rodney dangerfield...and although he looked nothing like shemp
howard...man he nailed his impression of him to the wall...LOL...he could
do shemp for me all day and i wouldn't grow tired of it...LOL...one time
in the dressing room he did the "15 minute jerry lewis telethon" doing
jerry, ed mcmahn, norm crosby and wayne newton...with music and
tempany...i know i'm going on about bill but damnit i already miss his big
round head and the sadness that he is now silenced...sure bill never made
it to the big time up to his passing...but he sure as heck brought joy to
the ones who saw him perform and he sure as heck made us less gifted
comics get through the shows backstage with his hysterical
impressions...in closing bill gave me a few years back on my birthday my
comedy hero a "curly" doll...i'll forever look at that doll with a "shit

Hey, _*BILL*_ _*H.*_, do you even

when you responded to, Psycho

I swear, sometimes, I just think
you like to share tidbits about
yourself, with absolutely
no prompting, in totally

Like, you'll show-up at a funeral for somebody,
and the widow will say--: "You know, my husband didn't look a day over
29
years old when he died!!" And,
then, you, _*BILL*_ _*H.*_, you'll
stand-up, out-of-the-BLOODY-blue,
and gooberishly announce to
everyone in the funeral parlor--:
"That's interesting, because,
_*I*_ am _*25*_!!!! And I have
a _*FIANCE*_!! But, fortunately,
_*HE'S*_ not dead like your husband!!
And have I told everyone that my
parents just adore him!! I visit
my parents, and me and him
and my folks, we, watch football
games together!! But, alas, I'm
too poor to even rent, 'The
Beguiled' at the video store,
because I don't work
anywhere!!!!"


....Oh....By the way, Marpo, _*I*_, don't
have a clue what you meant, with
your comments to Old Man Psycho
Tommy Boy Joey. It didn't seem
to make any sense, in the context
of responding to, Tommy Joey,
who is in his 50's, in case
you didn't know. And I
don't even know what

or I or anyone, has,

with a comedy

Thanks, Puppy. I appreciate you explaining,
who he was, a bit better, and way more
convincingly, and, lovingly-real,
than, Marpo, did.


(What!? Are some of you readers wondering
if Chafey Brassiere is going soft!? Of course
not!!!! It's just hard to be mean to a--: Puppy!!!!)


(--Woof!! Woof!!--)


And, seriously, Marpo's post, made
Sacra seem pretty hapless and
pathetic, but, yours, Puppy,
made him seem much more
interesting and real and
not at all, pathetic, in
any overly-cheesy
kind of way. It came
across in YOUR post,
more like Sacra had
a love for old-school
comedy, and he kind of
darkly twisted it a bit,
with his slightly-irreverent
impressions and whatnot.
He sounded like
an okay guy, and
he sounds like he
knew how to entertain.
Thanks for explaining
him and his spirit
--*much*-- better!!!!


It, actually, seemed like, Marpo, did NOT
*at* *all*, appreciate, Sacra, (not
NEAR as much as YOU sincerely
seemed to). Marpo, seems as if he
was slightly embarrassed of Sacra,
like, he found him to be a bit pathetic.
That's why his post, sounded like
a TOTAL//UTTER _*PARODY*_
of the guy's life!!!! If Bill Sacra
was my dad or brother or
whatever, I'd rather have
YOU, Puppy, talk about
him at the funeral, as
opposed to Marpo.
You make him sound
kinda cool; like his life
really meant something
in a POSITIVELY
_*POSITIVE*_
KIND OF
WAY....!!!!

No, but neither did you, apparently. If I had to guess, I'd say that he
was commenting on the apparent maturity level of the previous post.
Kind of like when somebody says something really dumb or uses too many
commas or something and you say "Boy, I remember when I first got
started in grammar school," or something like that.

I believe in participation, if that's what you mean. The dialogues on
here are pretty free-flowing, and often drift off topic. I don't see
the harm in it. However, there are some self-appointed "Marshalls" of
usenet who always chime in with posts like "This isn't on topic!" or
"Take your SPAM someplace else!" These people are worthless.

It's true that I don't work anywhere. I got fired a long time ago and
have been living off unemployment for a while now. I am going to
college, however, and might take a part time gig at a bookstore or
something.

I do have a reasonable realtionship with my parents. They are good
folks. My dad just bought a John Deere tractor.

I went to Blockbuster and tried to find The Beguiled, but they didn't
have it. I guess I'll keep my eyes open.

As always, I enjoyed your post and particularly your "unique" style.

Hey, Bill H., I KNOW I've got it going-on,
when the worst so-called "fault" you
can (BLOODY!!) diss me about
is the amount of COMMAS in my
posts!!!! Sheesh. And, seriously,
you need to stop worrying about
punctuation, and, just, concentrate
on BASIC//INTRODUCTORY
LEVEL _*SPELLING*_, dude!!!!
For real, man. Because whatever
kind of "REALTIONSHIP" you
have with your "FAUTHER"
and your "FIANCE", it sounds
like they BOTH have overlooked
your severe shortcomings, in
terms of, having a basic
grasp of basic//introductory
_*SPELLING*_!!!!


What's a "realtionship", anyways, Bill H.!?
Is that a _*RELATIONSHIP*_ where you
"KEEP IT _*REAL*_, MAN!!"...!?
Are you "KEEPING IT REAL, MAN!!"
with your "FIANCE" and your
"FAUTHER", dude!?


(Yeah, I KNOW you spelled _*FATHER*_
correctly. I was just facetiously//sarcastically
exaggerating for the
humorous effect,
dude. Sheesh.
....Well, on
second thought;
come to think of it,
you only spelled
'DAD' correctly,
as I recall, so,
the jury, is, in fact,
_*STILL*_, out, on
whether or not
you CAN, spell,
_*FATHER*_,
after all!!!!)


And, furthermore, Bill H., as far as not having
a clue what, Marpo, meant. Yeah, Bill,
that was my point, no one, but, maybe,
a total *psychic* had a clue what
he meant for sure!!


And, so, you see, I *really* hate vague posts
like that. And, I was criticizing
HIS post, AND, *your*, lonely
lovelorn loser self-indulgent
post, back to him, which,
instead of addressing the
fact that, Marpo's post SUCKED
and needed to be clarified
severely, you, *instead*,
just proceeded to tell
everybody your age,
and that it was
your birthday. So, I,
was making fun of that,
in a funny way. Period.


LISTEN--:


You can talk about whatever you like, dude.
I was just annoyed that you didn't address,
Marpo's annoyingly sparse vagueness, and, you, *instead*, opted to
gooberishly tell
everybody how old you were. Which,
is about the "maturity level" of a
7 year old....A 7 year old will do
that....You know, go up to a group
of strangers, and say, "Guess
what, I am _*7*_ years old
TODAY!!!! I am _*THIS*_
many fingers old!!"" (I'm
sorry what was that,
Bill H.!? Oh, okay, "7
and a HALF years
old", then!!!!
Sorry, dude).


I just get really annoyed when people
communicate so poorly, and don't
clear-up obvious holes in the
conversation at hand.


I take pride in the fact that _*I*_
am rarely misunderstood,
when I am making a point
(be it, a humorously
sardonic//sarcastic point,
and/or a mostly serious point).
People can usually gauge
what angle I am coming
from, because I am
so crystal clear and
detailed. And I don't
pussyfoot around with
my opinions and/or
observations.
Period.


And, FINALLY, as far as your contention
that my creative writings, might be making
certain authors and/or poets, "SPIN"
in their graves. All I can say about
THAT, is, if I were DEAD and buried
in a grave....I'm thinking _*SPINNING*_
might be a refreshingly energizing
change of pace, from the
daily grind, of mere
ROTTING....!!


In fact, I am planning on starting-up
my own--: 'Aerobics Class For
Corpses'....!!!! And I'll
be putting-out my
Aerobics instruction,
on DVD--: 'Spinnin'
and Sweatin' the
Cadavers'....!!!!
And, finally, I'll
be releasing a
song under the
pen name of

To all of you who replied, I would like to add something about Bill Sacra.
He was my best friend and former housemate here in Las Vegas. He did
headline in 5 shows in main showrooms here on the "Strip". I liked what
Marpo said and Puppyboy's reply. And to all of the others - Bill was REAL
and had amazing talent. The stories are real, though I see why since you
didn't know him you might think it was a parody.
I do know that right now Bill is getting a really big kick up in the
heavens that you guys are enjoying talking about him and his antics. He
was a great guy with a big heart. I do miss him but I know we will be
laughing together again soon. By the way you young whipper snappers, I'm
an old fart to boot!

Chafey, this argument/discussion between you and Bill H is intriguing
and entertaining, but I really think it should be taken to another
thread. Please remember the title of this thread. To branch off into
topics other than those reflected in the title is, in my opinion,
somewhat 'sacra'ligious.

Actually, these hack trolls are older than twenty but I think that
number would more properly describe their IQ.
Marty, if you haven't been on this forum much, please know that we
appreciate your posting about Mr. Sacra. You may notice that several
comics will respond and then you'll have the same pieces of shit like
Tommy, Ollie, Jeff Masterson, Chafey and other guys who make up their
screen names and do their best to throw off the topic. They usually
succeed but then they are left to do a circle jerk with each other
since no one else reads their bullshit. Several of the hack trolls are
the same guys who are usually solo...@aol.com who also likes to post
under the screen names of established comics who use their real names.
Just thought I'd inform you that their are several comics who come on
here but mostly it's a forum for open micers, wannabees and very lonely
boys like the afore mentioned.

You are the MEGA-HACKIEST
HACK _*TOTAL*_
_*TROLL*_ there is,
"BOZO AUNT O'REALLY".
You have hacked off of
a Pedophile "Clown"
and a Hack-Whack
Retarded Turncoat
Black Republican
"O'Really" and the
FOX News "O'Reilly",
just for starters,
dude.


But, perhaps, you _*ARE*_
the Clown with the Unsavory Pedophilia-Proclivities, Mr.
Bozo@37 and/or the Bozo@USA
_*AND*_, perhaps, you _*ARE*_,
the Gooberishly Retarded Black
Republican O'Really@AOL.
I always suspected those two//three
were the same idiot. Bozo would
get moronically frustrated and start
posting posts with one word--:
"Asshole"....And O'Really did
pretty much the same moronic
thing, but, instead of "Asshole"
he opted for posting gibberish
symbols and whatnot.
So you are that moronic
creep, or, perhaps, you
are those Generically
Braindead Goobers--:
Vincey and Vile Moss.
Or maybe you are
_*ALL*_ of them.


But, I, myself, am no one, but *ME*<-->*CHAFEY//DAVEY* at
sing-so...@webtv.net
on this particular newsgroup.
I don't post under other
handles or e-mails.
That is obvious.
Because, if I did,
I would have
responded
to a few of
my recent GEM
THREADS which
were mostly
"ignored" (i.e.
READ by most
EVERYONE but
NOT responded
to, out of spite
and/or jealousy, etc.).


Think about it Clowndip!!!!


I think it is cheating when you employ
sock puppetry. I do not approve
of sock puppetry practices, nor
email forgeries nor do I approve
of using countless amounts
of fake e-mail addies, etc.
I post with a real, legit
e-mail address. And
it is the same one
I've been using
on this newsgroup
from day one. And
I do NOT employ
sock puppetry at
all. And I certainly
don't forge e-mail
addresses
either.


Period.


And, finally, I get paid to perform
COMEDY-an-COMMENTARIES
on local radio. And I am sure
I get paid more than most
of these so-called "comics"
that you are talking about,
who post on here (Save
for L.C.K. and a few
others, that I am
sure make more
than me when they
are working regularly).
And I am, also, much
FUNNIER than
most of you
so-called "pro
comics". Don't
make me hurl,
Clown Auntie
O'Really. By
the way, Auntie,
your nephews,
Bill-an-Bozo, are
fucking sicko
lunatics, dear.
Seek help for
your entire
Clown//O'Really
family, you goober
boob ULTRA-WHACK

_*HACK*_ doofus
YOU!!!!


Buh-Bye For Now, Ms. Bozo Auntie O'Really!!

Bill was a great person to know...and I had the pleasure to not only know
him but to also work with him here in Vegas, we had made a few comedy
short films together. I will always cherish those now. We even made a
short entitled "Chasing Sal" featuring his ingenius character Sal
Manella...For those of you who are friends of Bill's I offer my
condolence. I knew Bill for only 3 years, but it was long enough to gain
a great friend, unfortunately I have very few photos of Bill, except for
the video i have...could anyone email any pics they have of Bill to me, I
am dedicating the second sketch comedy (video) show "3 Degrees of Clones"
(which Bill was a big part of) in his name.

Bill here's you Buddy ;)

Hopefully this will be my final word on the original post into the
'Bill Sacra Remembered' thread. A number of posts have since appeared
in which Mr. Sacra is fondly remembered. I can't speak directly for
Chafey (who also saw humor in the post), but I can speak for myself.
The original post was funny, plain and simple. Sometimes some of the
funniest written things are not intended to be funny. I did not know
for sure at the time whether the post was intended to be funny or not,
but that does not matter in the least, because the post was funny,
plain and simple, and there's nothing I can do about it. Perhaps Mr.
Sacra himself would have seen the humor in it, I don't know. Go back
sometime (in your spare time), and re-read the original post, and
replace the name 'Sacra' with any other name, and maybe you will see
what I mean. Since reading the original post I have read quite a few
glowing tributes to the great sense of humor possessed by Mr. Sacra.
If such is the case, and I'm not doubting it, I'm sure he too would
have seen the humor in the original post. I love to laugh. I'm not
going out of my way for it, but if it comes along I'm not going to
debate whether or not I'm 'supposed' to laugh before I do it. If
something's funny, I laugh.

Thanks, Big Jim, for the further clarification
and/or validation of Bill Sacra's REALNESS!!
He really DOES sound like he was a bit
like Andy Kaufman, in some ways.
He just didn't get that big S.N.L.
break, like, Andy. Think about
it like this--: If, Sacra, would
have made it "big" and still
died so young anyways,
like, Andy, did. Would
that have made any of
it any better!? Not really.


I almost died 5 or so, years ago,
from a bleeding stomach ulcer
(caused by taking one too many
Orudis K.T. tablets) They were
small, easy to swallow pills,
that I thought were okay to
double-up on, all the time.
WRONG!!!! Anyways, by
the time a relative came
to pick-me-up, I was as
white as a sheet and
vomiting up coffee
grind-like black, tarry
buckets of blood.
And on the way
to the hospital,
I really thought I was
going to die. I couldn't
even stand without
falling to my knees.
And in the car, I told
my mother, "Just promise
you'll take care of, ******."
(It was my dog's name
I said to her; a Border
Collie --For privacy
purposes, I censored
his name--Because
I've talked about
him on the air, and
his name might come-up
in a Goggle search) So,
anyways, I wasn't worried
about any of my music or
my writings or any other
"legacy" types of items,
all I cared about at that
moment, was my dog,
(I only had the one dog
at that time, but now, I have two)
and I was very worried about
him being alone, or being
taken by somebody that
wouldn't treat him like
he was used to; like
a, pretty much, *equal*
roommate and
buddy/pal/pooch.
Nothing else even
flashed through
my mind at that moment,
in terms of any material
possessions, like my
art or otherwise. I
didn't give a
crap about
anything else.
I wasn't seriously
seeing any
women at the
time, either.
So, the one
living creature
I was so close
to, was, the
ONLY thing
I cared about,
as I was just
about dead.


So, my ultimate point, is, that Bill Sacra,
I doubt, (if he was anything like me), I
doubt, he had one flash of a thought
about "not making it BIG". That is
a worry of the superficially living
and healthy human beings. But
when you are, surely dying
or nearly dead, (if even, for
only a moment, before being
rescued and treated, etc.)
YOUR THOUGHTS (Mine
or Bill Sacra's or whomever)
YOUR THOUGHTS will
be with the closest living
things in your immediate
care, the vulnerable
ones you'll be leaving
behind. Your thoughts
are only with them,
when you are facing
death. At least, that's
what happened with
me. And, again, none
of the "legacy" crap
means anything to
you, when you feel
like you are just about
dead. The selfishness
and silliness of living
quickly leave you,
as you are very
near death. Your
soul kicks in, at
that moment, (if
you have one,
that is).

Chafey, I love the way you took the opportunity in responding to
Big Jim to bring up your love for your dog and how you *almost* died a
few years ago. I love the way you used Mr. Sacra as an opportunity to
present another boring prelude to another boring story out of your own
boring life. I also loved the way you wouldn't give your dog's name,
only mentioning that it was a collie, because you didn't want it to
show up on google-search, as if everyone on earth is involved in an
endless search for the true identity of the great elusive radio
personality Chafey Brassiere. You are truly a delusional human being.
But you can at times be funny. I suppose being delusional and being
funny - I suppose sometimes these traits go hand in hand.

I'm not delusional. But I _*AM*_ funny.
So, a partial (i.e. 50 percent) THANKS
to you, are in order, Psycho Tommy!!!!
So--: "Tha" or "nks" to you, dear,
Gossy Fella.


Well....Actually, I should've have said
33 and a Third percent, really. Because,
I didn't think my little recollection was
boring. I bet everyone reading it,
went into their medicine cabinets
and threw out their Orudis K.T. pills,
or, they'll at least think twice before
taking them. And, I am sure, dog
lovers were a bit touched by my
very brief yet detailed recollection,
too. And, it really did happen as
I stated. Now, of course, even,
_*I*_ know, that it sounded
kind of silly, like a very
loosely-based, 'Old Yeller',
remake or something. But,
that's the beauty of _*ME*_!!
I know that I have the ability
to be deadly-serious, yet,
very funny, simultaneously.
But, delusional, I am not.
Nor am I boring, dude.
And, neither is my life,
boring. It was pretty
exciting, vomiting
up coffee-grind-like
buckets of blood.
And having the
ghostliest pale
shade of white
face, imaginable
(that even
concerned a
seasoned
emergency
room nurse),
etc., etc.


Buh-Bye For Now, Gossy Guy.


....Oh, by the way, I KNEW someone
would mention that censoring of
my pooch's name. And I thought
about just making-up a different
name, but, I didn't want to do that.
So, I opted for what I did, instead.
Because, I KNEW it would bug
some jealous person, such as
yourself, and, it would
also, serve my privacy
purposes, as well.


Of course, I don't
think EVERYONE
wants to know where,
exactly, I Host my talk
show,and, D.J., etc.
But, there ARE some
who do. And I know,
that, BlandWhitey, is
the type that might
put-in the right combo
of words, and score.
So, I am not being
delusional at all.
Just a bit cautious
and private.
That's all.
I'd like to
keep things
in my life
compartmentalized
as best as I can,
for as long as I can.
I enjoy the semi-anonymity.
Usenet is where I experiment
with some things, that I might
decide not to bring up on
local radio, and, in
some cases, I might
say something on-air,
that I wouldn't say on,
Usenet, etc., etc., etc.

Orudis K.T. pills, I have never in my life heard of them. What the

It was very disconcertingly alarming, when
I was recuperating in the hospital, and
I had requested a private room, and the
nurse told me, "We put you, here, in this
room, because it is closer to the nurse's
station, you know, since you're a
'bleeder' and all"....I said something
like, "Oh that's reassuring to be
coldly classified as a nondescript
'BLEEDER'...." I felt so-cared-for
at that moment. It made the
guy snoring in the bed next

'sweet' and 'soothing',
knowing that they
all thought of me
as a (BLOODY!!)

Well, Bill, I guess I care just enough to respond, because in truth
(Chafey), I do know how to spell sacrilegious, but in I felt it would
ruin it to not spell it with an 'a', as in 'sacra'. This is not to
imply that I am a great speller, because I am not, and in fact
sometimes the longer I look at a word and question it the more iffy it
begins to look. I am sure I'm not alone on this. Anyway, in this
particular case the misspelling was intentional. Thanks for just now
noticing that post and commenting on it. I'm not one for puns, but

Hey Dumbass,
How do you find a way to post about you when the topic was about a real
entertainer who died of cancer. You show you disrespectful ass when you
can't address the topic with any degree of intelligence.
Sacra was a true guy with talent. You on the other hand...well, you

No. Tommy, it was the last part of the
word, that you spelled incorrectly.
I made a point to say that.
Re-read my post. Of
course, you meant to
misspell the 'Sacra'
part that way. But, it
was the LAST part
of the word, which
was incorrect. And
that part was not
intentional. As it
would be dumb to
misspell the rest

Chafey, excellent response to Vile Moss or whoever the hell Vince
is...........Now, as for you, Vince - let's just be realistic here -
the original post about Mr. Sacra was not so much an announcement of
Mr. Sacra's passing as it was an opinion piece - almost an essay of
sorts - nicely done, I might add. I'm sure it was straight from the
heart and well-intentioned, but let's face it, there was definitely
humor in it's presentation, whether the guy who wrote it intended it or
not. The same applies - even more so - to the disgusting Craig GOSS
post - which was not so much an announcement of a comic's death as it
was a direct attack on Mr. GOSS, who may in fact deserve to be attacked
for all I know (or don't know)... The writer of that post was
reporting an incident at a certain comic's funeral, and while it may
have been a shocking and vile and even despicable display of poor taste
at an occasion normally reserved for solemnity , the post concerning
the actions of Mr. GOSS was non-the-less a full-bore attack on Mr. GOSS
and was also comically written. Sometimes a guy just happens to have a
talent for writing funny stuff even when he's not trying to be funny.
In fact, I believe this is the way some comedy writers are born, by
trying to write serious stuff that just keeps coming out funny. Such
may be the case with both of these guys, the guy who wrote the Sacra
post and the guy who wrote the post about the digusting Craig GOSS.
Because someone finds humor in something does not mean he is being
disrespectful or mean. Both of those posts were funny. The guys who
wrote those posts have every right to be insulted by my comments if
they so desire, or they can take them as a compliment, which I think
would be the smart and proper thing to do. That is of course up to
them. Chafey's comments regarding your belated entrance into the Sacra
thread were right on the mark, and furthermore I don't see his comments
as an attack per se, more as the simple truth. In fact, I think he was
being a bit easy on you, even though I did see humor in the truth of
his words.

Ya know i've been reading these "loser" posts by guy's named "chafey ass"
and "sloppy joe". Vince you said what i was going to say about the 2
morons and thank's for your positive post on BILL SACRA the GREAT talent,
something these 2 meat heads will never be known as. "Chafed Brain" claims
he works as a comic or something, he rambles on about being a radio guy,
when in reality he spends more time on this message board trying to
be-little a pro. comic with a HUGE talent named Bill Sacra, then actually
working as a comic, i'll bet he and "sloppy joe" spend most of their day
trying to come up with what they think will be criptic, witty banter on
bill's rememberance post, when in reality it is self serving useless day
old vomit which smells up what is supposed to be a tribute to a REAL comic
who's REAL friends and FANS cared about,so my advice to you 2 half baked
idiots, go start your own post and you can puke all over it for hours on
end and we REAL friends and FANS of MR. BILL SACRA can enjoy his legacy
and shared stories without 2 unemployed/out of reality/no talent mental
midgets always having to critique us. Even Mr. Sacra at this point would
say, "guy's that's enough ok? We get the joke already, you don't have to
piss on it", but then you're not real comics cause you keep pissing on
your really stupid jokes or what ever it is your saying. In closing
"chafey ass" and "sloppy joe" maybe since you have no skills why don't you
2 do something worth while like join the millitary and go serve in iraq,
oh wait you can't cause you're both in your fifties and still live off

"closet gay" shit with me, i won't be reading it nor replying to you're

One, minor clarification--:
When I say I am "constantly
online, trying to come-up
with some cool angles
and bits blah blah blah
for my radio shows, etc.",
I am, *saying*, I am
checking-out a
bunch of different
news items and
miscellaneous
items, that might
spark an idea for
a particularly
unique parody
bit and/or just a
general topic
of discussion,
for the 'call-in' callers
and/or the in-person
guests, etc. And,
finally, when I say,
"I am constantly
'TRYING' to
come-up with
something cool",
I, most times,
_*SUCCEED*_
in coming-up
with a cool
angle and/or
bit/piece/joke/parody/etc.,
but, I am "constantly TRYING"
to come-up with new stuff
that is even cooler than
the last bit of schtick
I did, on the last show,
etc., etc. and so on
and on and on, into
infinity plus a day
times 4 (which is
one of my luckiest
numbers--: 4)....!!!!
And, one final
note, when I
use the word//term
"CONSTANTLY",
I am, of course,
exaggerating.
But, sometimes,
at certain intervals,
it seems like, I
_*AM*_
ONLINE,
a godawfully
DAMN
_*LOT*_!!


(--Hee Hee--)


Okay....I am glad I cleared all of that
up. (--Hee Hee--) I feel better now.
Because, it, seriously, bugs me,
when I am not as clear as I
want to be, due to typos,
or not being specific
and detailed enough,
etc., etc.


Oh well.

Hey, since, many of us, posting into this
thread, are not familiar with, Bill Sacra,
why not enlighten us, with something
more concrete, than, mere secondhand
remembrances. If someone has
some audio or video files, of
a snip or two of something
he did, that would be
appreciated. And it
would add some
flesh to the bones
of the condolence
rhetoric, so to
speak.

It's amazing how phoney people can be and how obvious they are about
it too. Like the ones who come into the newsgroup crying about other
people's posts about Bill Sacra while they themselves had nothing
original to volunteer in the way of positive thoughts, only negative
thoughts about other people's posts. This reminds me of the Super Bowl
a few weeks ago when the pre-game show was full of the usual
super-dooper patriotic bullshit. I didn't watch that part of the show,
but you better believe I know it was there. Anyway, it's kind of funny
- you might see this super-dooper patriotic crap and complain to
someone about it intruding on the game and the people you're
complaining to get all falsely proud and defensive about America and
try to make you look like a traitor because you don't like the
intrusive manner in which the patriotic crap is delivered. BUT - if
there really are that many genuine super-dooper patriots in this
country, why don't they just have a weekly one hour show called 'The
Patriot Hour' with the National Anthem sung by maybe four different
celebrities to open and close the show and two other versions
sandwiched in between. They could bring on an ex-President, or even
two of them ala Bush and Carter at the Super Bowl, and they can listen
to speeches for an hour and howl their undying approval. Why don't
they do this? I'll tell you why. Because it won't go over, that's
why. Instead, they force this bullshit into sporting contests and
other popular events that they know people really want to watch. So,
in that sense these super-dooper phoney patriots remind me of the
people who can't post positive words of their own about Bill Sacra, but
choose to wait until someone has said something they don't like and
then jump on that. Can you see a similarity? I sure as hell can.

Hey Chafey, i got an idea. Why don't you post some sound bits or video
stream snipits of your oh so brilliantly funny stuff. I'd "truly" love to
see it or hear it. Who knows maybe you really are a "truly" funny, gifted
comic and i say that without being a wiseguy, "truly". Seriously do you
have some stuff i can see or hear??

It will never happen. He isn't a comic and he's been ranting for a
long time about being some radio geek and I'm not sure what he would be
proud of that. Radio hacks are pretty much at the bottom of the heap,
they don't write and usually just rip off talented comics or subscribe
to joke services. So..in closing, my advice is don't waste time on
him, Tommy Joe,
Jeff Masterson, Solo...@aol.com and all the other jerks that make all
the post about themselves and never contribute anything of value or
entertainment except for each other because they all get together for a
circle jerk and that's the story on that one.

You're just pissed off you can't find a circle jerk of your own.
I'm a guy who will NEVER try too hard to get anywhere in life, which
means I do not prowl the stage in an effort to gain notoriety or
success. I firmly believe that I am so naturally gifted at standup
that I don't need to practice. Sure, practice would only make me
better than I already am, but I'm not about to stress out trying to
become famous, and in fact firmly believe that my chances of becoming
famous - to the point where I can actually make money to not have to
work at ANYTHING - are as good as those who labor away at standup all
their lives, grumbling all the while about being over-looked and
under-appreciated. I've been on the stage, BOZO BOY, and I'm good up
there, but I never really did get to the point where I felt comfortable
doing a lot of time up there, and in fact I think most comics are up
there far too long, even the good ones. So, if you're a standup (how
would I know if you are or not?), why not just get out there and join
the rest of them and have yourself a ball and leave 'losers' like
Chafey and me and Jeff and whoever else to wallow in loserville for
eternity instead of crying about it?

Well, Bunny, I have a feeling you are
posting with another, more-established
handle, as well. But, anyway, if you
have read my many//countless
posts, which have had tons of
funny-an-original bits-an-schtick
in them, and you STILL
doubt I can be funny, then,
a sound file, would be
redundant and useless.
Although, I believe you
already KNOW I can
be amazingly funny,
AND, generally
entertaining,
as well. You
are just being
terribly coy.


LISTEN--:


I pride myself, on, typing
up my humor, in a way,
that, conveys, the essence
of what I am about. You
SHOULD get a sense of
what I can do, from, many
of my posts. Period.
Read some of my
typed schtick OUT
LOUD, and SEE
if it sounds funny
or not. Of course,
if you can't read
very well, and/or,
you read OUT
LOUD very-poorly,
then, it WILL lose
some of its intended
bite and nuances.
But, at least, give
it a try. ....But, we
both REALLY
know, you
already _*HAVE*_,
and you realize
it _*IS*_ funny
(HAVEN'T YOU,
BUNNY!?)
And I am sure
you realize that
my more serious
commentaries........
I am sure you KNOW
that THEY are very
unique and memorably
entertaining, as
well. DON'T YOU,
"BUNNY"....!?


BUT, ANYWHO--:


I, HAVE, however, previously,
posted some very brief
'30 second' sound files,
on another newsgroup,
just for fun. And, I,
may, do that, here,
(in some form//format/etc.
or another) at some
(BLOODY!!) point.
I may. I just may,
dear-dear, Bunny.
But, I am, again,
wanting to remain
as "anonymous"
or "semi-anonymous"
as possible, for
now....So....We'll
see. I really don't
want or need to
promote my local
shows on Usenet.
So, my only reason,
for doing it, would
be, for the pure
(BLOODY!!) fun
of it, dude. But, it
will have to be
something from
me, that would
not give away
what station I
am at, etc., etc.
Because, in fact, it
would probably
be a violation
of my contract,
if, I were to post
some audio-or-video
that could be directly
related to my current
employer. Plus,
I've said SOME
things; experimented
with SOME particular
angles-an-bits, that I
might not EVER decide
to include on my
local radio shows!!
So, I don't want to
intertwine my Usenet
schtick-an-identity
with my Radio
schtick-an-identity,
_*COMPLETELY*_,
I don't want to meld
and connect the
proverbial dots
_*COMPLETELY*_
in some potentially
FATAL, "CAREER
KILLING", kind of
a way!! You dig!?
And, of course, doing
that, would, also, be
a potential contract
violation. And, any
such violation, could
get my ass, CANNED,
lickety-splits (i.e.
JUST LIKE _*THAT*_!!)
But, I, might, STILL,
post, *some*, very brief
sound file, where
I am doing an
imitation of someone
or just some real-quick
silliness, that would
show-off some of my
talent, without giving
me away too much, in
terms of my on-air
voice//voices,
etc., etc., etc.
(Like I've already
done, previously).
So, again, I might
do --*something*--,
of me doing
some kind of a
"bit", at some
point. I'll just
have to be in
the right mood,
at the time, when
I decide to do it.
And, I certainly
will not be pressured
into doing it, to "prove"
anything to anyone.
Period. Because, again,
my TYPED words ALONE
prove my talent. And any
sound file, would just be
ICING on my already
MOIST and LUSCIOUS
CAKE, BABY!!!!


Take care, Bunny.

I just learned of Bill's death last night. In the early 90's, I worked
with him and his partner at the time Nicky Shane (anyone know where he
is?) on a movie they were making called "Puggs and Toast." Bill is
amazing in it. I edited the trailer which I have on VHS. I still love
watching it. I shoud digitize it before it wears out.

I met Bill way (WAY) back in '73 or '74 or so when we were in a local
community theater production. Jeffersontown? Mansfield Players? "Show of
Shows"? You've all heard of it, I'm sure. Bill and a guy named Glen
Newland and I even did a three-man version of "There is Nothing Like a
Dame" from "South Pacific". Piano accompaniment provided by Susan Shore.

Anyway, back to the subject: Bill was the most relentlessly funny guy I've
ever met in my life. We'd be sitting around making fun of the director &
stuff and if the conversation got slow he'd just carry on a one-man
conversation... with himself. Imitating the voices of the other people in
the room!

I must also confess that I was one of the vulgarians who broke the news
(sorry, bad pun alert!) to Bill that if one was of a mind to that one
could ignite one's own flatulence. I'm afraid that that was the beginning
of the end. He didn't believe that what I had told him was true, so one
night at rehearsals my homeboy Clancy and I took poor Bill upstairs to a
private area and I leaned back and ignited a monsterous bomber that was so
friggin' huge that it singed Clancy's eyebrows! No lie, it singed his
brows! I told him not to get so close, but he wouldn't listen. After that,
every time I'd run into Bill he'd look at me and say somethng like "Watch
out now, I don't want to burn myself here!" and things of that nature. He
never let me live it down.

It's truly sad that he's gone. He was exactly my age. I prayed for Bill
when I heard that he had died. He'll be missed.

I've never been in this newsgroup until I made the original post for this
thread. It's pretty strange to have a close friend die. I've never had
that happen before so writing a remembrance post was my way of working
through some of my grief, I guess. I've also been editing video of Bill for
a memorial show we are going to do for him in Louisville (where he's from)
on April 12th. I knew him since '77 when we both started out doing our acts
in strip joints. He was 18 and had already been working as a pro for two
years ...he never did anything else for a living the rest of his life. My
relationship with him was probably similar to the kind of bond that soldiers
have with each other ...guys who have been in the trenches together because
Bill and I spent some of the worst show biz times in our life together
...mostly in NYC, where we lived in unsavory transient hotels and street
performed for our next meal. I'm pretty beaten down by his passing - still
in disbelief, so I don't really have the energy or desire to make retorts to
the multitude of ignorant and naive posts that have generated from this
subject. I was under a false impression that this was an appropriate place
to put that memorial I wrote because I figured that comedians read this
stuff ...that's why I wrote a second paragraph where I talked about how
important it is for us to have some type of health care because most comics
don't have that. It is now clear to me that comedians rarely come in here,
and I can see why. Trying to be funny, clever and irreverent all the time
is lots of fun when you're in your twenties, or you're new to comedy, but to
a crusty bastard like me, it's nothing but boring twaddle. Usually it's
just an effort to fill the "hip quotient" that seems so important and
necessary to us. Anywaaay, if anyone wants to see video of Bill I will
eventually be adding it to a page I made for him - just do a search for Bill
Sacra and my Pollio Folio site will be one of the first hits. In the
meantime gents, carry on, but try not to let this post make your heads spin
...in fact, why not just let this thread die right here. Marty Pollio

Marty, I was willing to let this thread die a long time ago. Why
are you writing this? First off, no one had anything negative to say
about Bill Sacra. Secondly (I'm saying this for your own good) - you
should stop looking for the negative in everything. What about the
positives? People who never before heard of Bill Sacra have heard of
him now - thanks to this thread and the posts in it. You cannot lose
when you post into this newsgroup, which is one of the reasons I post
here. Your information came through the group and you got some
response. How you take the response is up to you. Stop griping about
the negatives in life and start looking at the good things. Why not be
a positive guy , like me?

I had the pleasure of working with Bill doing stand-up in New York City in the early 80's. He was an amazing talent. He used to call "Catch a Rising Star" "Catch a Falling Has Been" We were both broke one day and he asked me if I'd like a steak dinner. I said "sure - but were broke." We were near Times Square at the time, so he took off his baseball cap, tossed it on the ground upside down at his feet and proceeded to perform his act. He would do all three stooges by jumping from one spot to the next - performing each stooge's part. People began to stop and listen and soon a large crowd had gathered around him. As he performed, his hat was being filled with loose-change and dollar bills. Within about ten minutes his hat was full of cash so he took a bow, picked up his hat and we walked across the street to Tad's steak house where we had a wonderful steak dinner with all the trimmings. I have never experienced anything like that, before or since.
