After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

He was not funny at all. Gross.
Rest in peace, Mr. Lewis.
All of France is in mourning over Lewis. Did he own a white flag company?
He certainly wasn’t funny. Well, maybe in a “Peewee Herman” sort of way he was…..
I used to go with my older brother to the movie theater and watch 50 cent double features every Friday night as a kid. Jerry Lewis had quite a few of them out, and we found one of them so funny that we went back 3 nights in a row. First time for that.
Genuinely sad to see his passing. RIP.
I’ve seen him in his non-funny role playing and it wasn’t nice.
Quite the asshole actually, and his type of humor wasn’t to my liking.
I do though, as a child, remember seeing him in a movie titled “Way, Way Out” from the back window of a station wagon at the Silver Springs Drive-In theater on the Mechanicsville Pike (Rahal Country!).
He raised a lot of money for kids. That was nice.
I didn’t care for his movies. Shrug.
Had a lot of respect for the man. He had the right attitude about life, tried hard to contribute to society, and did a lot of the time. Only had a couple of wives; practically monogamous for Hollywood. Saw enough M&L on early TV to know I could never learn to appreciate his comedy or acting. Never saw a movie with him in it.
I prefer to remember him by his later Youtube videos.
What a dick.
“Only had a couple of wives;”

LOL
If all of us could only be that righteous.
