Shut Up, Little Man! is the title of a number of audio-verité recordings of two argumentative and violent alcoholics, Peter J. Haskett and Raymond Huffman. San Francisco's Bananafish magazine arranged for a commercial release of the tapes in 1992. The recordings were made by “Eddie Lee Sausage” and “Mitchell D. ”, who lived in a bright pink apartment building — dubbed the “Pepto Bismol Palace” — in San Francisco's Lower Haight district.

  • Shut Up, Little Man! is the title of a number of audio-verité recordings of two argumentative and violent alcoholics, Peter J. Haskett and Raymond Huffman. San Francisco's Bananafish magazine arranged for a commercial release of the tapes in 1992. The recordings were made by “Eddie Lee Sausage” and “Mitchell D. ”, who lived in a bright pink apartment building — dubbed the “Pepto Bismol Palace” — in San Francisco's Lower Haight district. Eddie Lee and Mitchell moved into the apartment in 1987, and discovered that their neighbors, Haskett and Huffman, argued nearly constantly, with Peter often shouting “shut up, little man!” at Ray. Eddie and Mitchell began tape recording the arguments, and distributing copies among their friends. Eddie Lee and Mitchell sometimes goaded Ray and Peter with prank telephone calls. In 1992, Huffman died of a heart attack brought-on by colon cancer, pancreatitis, and alcoholism. Peter died in 1996 of liver problems due to alcoholism.
