When I was in probably 3rd or 4th grade I had a Billy Baloney ventriloquist dummy (I was a <em>huge</em> Pee-wee fan) that I would bring in for show and tell. I’d sit up in front of the class and Billy would “take questions” which almost always would just lead to “him” just berating the audience. Usually my teacher would have to interject and cut the act short.</p>http://tomreynolds.com/post/17266810390http://tomreynolds.com/post/17266810390Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:11:20 -0500pee-wee hermanbilly baloney<span id="video_player_17218788715">[<a href="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" target="_blank">Flash 10</a> is required to watch video.]</span><script type="text/javascript">renderVideo("video_player_17218788715",'http://tomreynolds.com/video_file/17218788715/tumblr_lz1co05Vxx1r72qmw',400,225,'poster=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_lz1co05Vxx1r72qmw_r1_frame1.jpg,http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_lz1co05Vxx1r72qmw_r1_frame2.jpg,http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_lz1co05Vxx1r72qmw_r1_frame3.jpg,http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_lz1co05Vxx1r72qmw_r1_frame4.jpg,http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_lz1co05Vxx1r72qmw_r1_frame5.jpg')</script><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://kurtbraunohler.tumblr.com/post/17217045192/this-is-amazing-apparently-in-the-uk-you-can-set">kurtbraunohler</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>This is amazing.
