I thought the expression
was "Hody Kadody"
Had an Auction Pitchman named "Odie Dodie" on the Kelly-Miller Show back in the 50's who would stop the Evening Blow-Off crowd with a Handkerchief and the words, "Hi! Hi! Ka Fluki! Hully Gully, Oh! Golly!
"Praise Be, Lord Pee Wee, Highly Salami and Almighty Rama!
Yup I remember yet another
flim flam guy with a quick set
pitch stand at the blowoff of
some MidWestern big fair date
Whatever he was selling was
easily forgettable but what
he bantered caught everyone's
attention & "Hody Kadody" was
strung through his oratory
Possibly the same guy or a
desciple of his
"Everybody gets one" just
hold up your dollar & say
Hody Kadody 3 times
But Larry Kadody gave us a shot of Barbara that saves the day.
I too have always heard it as "Larry Kadody," being told by no less then star of stage, screen and Marine Land, never wrong, always right James Castle Hall. Though admittedly it was normally in reference to Larry Allen Dean investing in Australian Opals.

i remember ODIE DODY..... Joe Kobley was his name....we toured with him for several years....he lived in california in the late 60's ..... at the time we were on the Sid Kellner show...... we have some great video of those times with Odie ......I made the after show pitch with him several times..... he certainly could gather a crowd...
Larry Kadody was another saying somewhat related to bad stuff or specifically bad merchandise on the show....if it was a "larry" it was usually did not work or was spoiled.....like the hershey bars that weathered freezing temperatures followed by 100 degree heat in the back of a stock truck.....most were Larry..... it is a wonder the show did not poison more customers with hershey bars in that era.....
Remember----Lunch TODAY at Sonny's BBQ, Sun CITY, FLA. NOON! Come visit with Buckles!
I have to figure out how to get to Florida to one of the Sonnys BBQ days,,,
I'll send you a map Gary
Woefully I've missed a few
due to inconsiderate work
travel scheduling but I
still have to earn my keep
Just had a great idea Gary
I'd be happy to pay your
trip expenses if you would
stop in New Braunfels to
pick up that "W" elephant
tub that the Woodcocks so
graciously offered to me
From New Braunfels you're
very close to I-10 that
will take you to I-75
(my wishful thinking)
Just checking that I'll
try to keep the 16th of April
open so I can get to Ruskin
We are all waiting patiently Shannon
(just a hint)
March 29 Somehow the blog is not showing up in my e mail box but I will keep the faith here, an hour from Baraboo. Doing the daily check for your postings. My day is usually shit without a visit first thing from the Buckles blog, smokes and coffee. Standing by and cheers. Sara T
Hey Chic, I just saw your post about the bull tub...give me a call 903 880 3230?
Everyone check Barbara's Facebook page for current updates on her long recovery and her hopes to soon return home. She is literally surrounded by loving family and friends, and is coming through a difficult time of it. So let's all offer our best thoughts, wishes, and prayers for this great lady of the American Circus.
BARBARA, GET WELL, MY FRIEND. THE CENTER RING SPOTLIGHT AWAITS YOU!
