While I was on Twitter tonight I noticed someone tweeted that tourists frequently ask the front desk people at the Alamo why it was built in the middle of downtown San Antonio. Uh, what?!! Setting aside that dumb question, I’ll admit I was tempted to tweet back “At least the question isn’t, Where’s the basement?!”

Do you think anyone still asks to see the basement of the Alamo? At least anyone under the age of 30? Do any of you know what I’m talking about? Hahaha.. I know a few of you do. For those of you who don’t, it’s a reference to Pee-wee Herman’s first movie, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Here’s the clip:

I actually love Pee-wee. (Why don’t you marry him?) Not so much his movies (I admit I liked them as a young teen), but his early 80’s stage show with the Groundlings was hilarious! You can YouTube some clips if you are interested. If I was anywhere near Los Angeles, I would have gone to see his new stage show. Funny, funny.

And something else that is funny, well, more sad/funny… I still can’t say the word adobe without thinking of Jan Hooks.
