Mr. Pete Schweddy is a fictional character from the Saturday Night Live sketch 'Delicious Dish.' Mr. Schweddy represents the (equally fictional) Schweddy Family line of meat products, including Schweddy Balls and Schweddy Weiner. He has " ... quite a reputation as the king of stadium-cooked cuisine."
The sketch is quite funny, and pretty obviously all about sexual innuendo. 'Schweddy' sounds like 'sweaty,' and all the various interpretations of 'meat' refer to male genitals. The outrageousness of the references steadily increases as the sketch goes on.

Pete Schweddy: That's right. I'm proud to say I've won great acclaim for my takes on popcorn, crackerjacks, and pretzel bread. But I think what I am most known for is my weiner.
Margaret Jo McCullen: Your weiner. Wow. You don't say.
Pete Schweddy: I sure do. Would you like to see it?
Margaret Jo McCullen: Please. Please. (Pete pulls out a tray of weiners) Wow ...
Pete Schweddy: Is that some weiner, or what?
Margaret Jo McCullen: Yeah, it's a doozy, Pete.
Lynn Vershad: Now, is that a foot-long, or..?
Pete Schweddy: (chuckles) You flatter me!

A tulku is a high-ranking lama, or holy man, of the Tibetan Buddhist religion. The famous Dalai Lama is a tulku; the rank is roughly equivalent to an archbishop or a cardinal of the Catholic church. All tulkus are lamas, just as all cardinals are priests, but not all lamas are tulkus. The vast majority of tulkus and other lamas are men, although there are a few women.
Reincarnation (the idea that all living things die, then return to life in a new form) is central to Tibetan Buddhism. Tulkus are believed to be the only living beings who are able to know and choose in advance the form and manner in which their spirit will be reborn on Earth. In addition to being reborn many times, and accumulating wisdom in the process, tulku and other Tibetan holy men are also believed to be ongoing, earthly manifestations of bodhisattvas. (Bodhisattvas are semi-divine beings, who symbolize and teach Buddhist spiritual values; they are roughly equivalent to major saints of the Catholic church.)
'Tulku: A Tale of Modern Ninja' is also a very cool book, written by Stephen K. Hayes in 1985 (Contemporary Books, ISBN number 978-0809253326). It is a kick-ass espionage story, and a fun way to learn more about eastern martial arts and the Buddhist traditions of Tibet.

Supplicant: "O wise tulku, isn't there some fast and easy way to reach enlightenment? My flight leaves this afternoon, and I'm kind of in a hurry ..."
Tulku: "If I weren't the living embodiment of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, the pinnacle of mercy and compassion, I would kick your lazy ass so hard you wouldn't need to catch a flight."
