Hey pallies, likes stop the presses pallies, likes in doin' some youtube searchin' for more and more tributes to our most beloved Dino and his mosts beloved partner, Mr. Jerry Lewis we happened 'pon a vid clip swankly showin' our main man and his main partner makin' the scene together, but get this pallies, it is AFTER their breakup in 1956 and BEFORE their MDA reunion in 1976.  Likes as youse will see with your very own set of Dino-eyes that in the year of our Dino, 1961 both our Dino and Jerry were out coolly clubbin' at the Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles, California, for the openin' show of Mr. Eddie Fisher.  Likes in doin' a wee bit of internet searchin' we discovered that the exact date was July 25, 1961.

We are sorry that this vid clip has no sound with it so we can only gratefully gaze on our Dino and Jerry together, if only briefly, but we ain't able to hear the patter exchanged between 'em to know likes how they greeted each other.  Mr. Lewis enters first and then 'bout :54 to 1:16 we  visibly view out most beloved Dino and Jerry sweetly smilin'  and potently patterin' like in the old days.  Likes if we didn't know better it appears like the old days when they were the greatest comedic partnership in all of creation.  It awesomely absolutely warms our Dino-hearts to see 'em back together 'gain, every ever so briefly!

Likes we always always always absolutely absolutely deeply deeply digs learnin' each and every new Dino-detail likes as we can, so we are totally totally thrilled to add the keen knowledge of these memorable moments on July 25, 1961.  Likes my oh my pallies, as we neatly noted that this moment in Dino-history was to the Dino-date 15 years after the exact date when our Dino and Jerry said I do to teamin' up on July 25, 1946!  Likes we believe there are really no complete coincidences in our Dino's life....no coincidence that our Dino and Jerry briefly came back together on a summer evenin' in 1961, no coincidence that the date of that reunion was July 25.

We thank our Dino-diggin' pallie tagged "Donazify" over at youtube put this rare rare vibrant vid up at his pad there for all us Dino-philes to darin'ly  discover and really really really rejoice in.
