R.I.P. Pee Wee

Paul (Reubenfeld) Reubens aka Pee Wee Herman. August 27, 1952 to July 30, 2023







 

 

 

I remember Pee Wee as the hotel clerk in a Cheech and Chong movie. My daughter and I watched "Pee Wee's Playhouse" together every Saturday morning, and saw "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" on a cable movie channel. A guy I used to work with had a Kawasaki 750 LTD with a matching Windjammer fairing and a decent stereo. The bike was nicknamed the X-1 after Pee Wee's bicycle in the movie. I got to ride it quite often and always brought it back with a full tank. I like silly mindless entertainment (my wife does not) and so does my daughter, and Pee Wee was a big part of it.

    Whenever I hear the song "Tequila" I think of Pee Wee's bar dance, and it brings a smile to my face.

      @Bigus Macus: OMG... How could I forget the biker bar and "The Big Shoe Dance?"

      I liked him in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie, not tv). His death scene was hilarious.

      From Big Adventure: ‘There’s always a big but’.
