Read _1601_, then come back to class! ---------- From: Glen M. Johnson <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Pryor restraint Date: Tuesday, October 27, 1998 9:31 PM Dennis, I discovered from the Washington Post article that Pryor did, indeed, write parts of the "Blazing Saddles" script, including the famous beans/campfire scene. Although I'm a great admirer of Pryor, I would be happy for somebody to explain to me what's funny about that particular scene, or about "Blazing Saddles," or indeed about Mel Brooks. Glen Johnson
