       And the idiot doomsday prepper wacko who shat him out. I hope graveyards refuse their burial.

That I can walk into any fast food restaurant, order any meal "for here," or "to go," and the food will be correctly packaged roughly 50% of the time.

[Juan]

That I can walk into any fast food restaurant, place my order and tell the counter person "to go" or "for here" and 100% of the time, be asked "for here or to go?"

[Jasmine]

That I can walk into any Subway Sub shop, order a BLT on whole wheat, and 95% of the time, be asked, "on white or brown?"
"lettuce or tomato?"

the way the media has been exploiting the recent school shooting. disgusting. I can't turn on my tv or radio

[Juan]

The way the media claims Asperger's Syndrome led to the shootings.  As someone "on the spectrum" I know we're too anti-social to actually associate with enough people to participate in a mass shooting.

          That a relative of mine apparently hoarded Hostess products last months and is giving them as "stocking stuffers". Their main gift choice? Scratch tickets.

          Gee, how touching. Why not give a fucking newspaper and quart of milk while you're at it. Merry Christmas, here's some Tic Tacs and a crossword puzzle I found at the laundromat.

[ItsOver]

Hahahah.... sounds like a Noory gift-giving idea.

That cracked me up.  My late mother-in-law was a fan of shopping at dollar stores.  One year she got my husband a banana slicer as a Christmas present.  We still shake our heads about that damn thing.  She really thought it was a great present.

I could accept Hostess Donettes and scratch tickets as last minute gifts...but I became privy to these gift ideas on December 16.

           This person who gives these piece meal gifts? They make at least 80 grand a year. Well, about $ 79,993.34 after Christmas "shopping". I think his wife is getting a Shamwow.

Y'all are hilarious. Thanks for cheering me up after a bad day. Can always count on you

Ditto

[Sardondi]

Sorry I blew it on the name-- it's been a while since I saw it.
My fave characters were probably the late-night trio of Sammy Maudlin, Johnny La Rue, and Bobby Bittman.

Indeed, and Lola Heatherton appeared on The Sammy Maudlin Show with Johnny LaRue, and as well on Bobby Bittman's show, where she experienced...yet another complete drug-induced breakdown on the air.

And WHO could forget Edith Prickley (Andrea Martin) as the Annie Sullivan character  who teaches Helen Keller (O'Hara) to act like a normal blind and deaf child?

Okay, I've gotta be the only one here (well, maybe not the only one) who saw SCTV RT...and thought I was among an audience of about 3. What a show. So utterly unlike anything else. "Yeah, it blowed up real good!"

Same for me. All news sites and even most radio. Everyone suddenly is patriotic willing to spill blood like a crowd of pitchforkin fools.

One lady said "If we're going to make a change to the constitution we need to make it now where the emotions are still high."

I couldn't disagree more. Now is NOT the time to change anything. We need to be thinking with logic, not emotion.

[Unquenchable Angst]

I loved SCTV.I'll never forget the PBS Battle of the Stars  where Mr.Rodgers knocked out Julia Childs (Candy) with the Little King puppet.

OK, I 'fess up.  I'm #3.  I would sneak out into the living room at 1am every Monday morning.  I loved the "3-D effect". 

Oh, yeah.  I was an adult at the time, trying not to wake up my husband or two-year-old daughter.     I had to hold onto a pillow to laugh into.

Ahhhhhh, youth.  Well, at least it's youth to me now!      

And I forgot about PBS Battle of the Stars...............I grew up with Mr. Rogers, so it hit a special note.

Remember when they blew up Brooke Sheilds (Catherine O'Hara) real good when she sang Devo's "Whip It"?

Or how about Dr. Tongue's (John Candy) "3-D House of Stewardesses", and "3-D House of Pancakes"? LOL!

Wow, I can't believe there are fellow SCTV fans here! This brilliant Canadian comedy series originated out of Edmonton, Alberta, later moving the taping to Toronto. The cast, who wrote the sketches, were out of this world. In the mid 80's, when NBC picked up the show to run on alternate Saturday's with SNL, is when Lorne Michaels and his team forced the network to cancel the show. It was purely political, as Michaels and co. couldn't stand the fact that SCTV garnered better reviews from both critics and audiences, and higher ratings, than the dismal SNL.

Personally, I think Johnny LaRue (Candy) would be the best host for C2C. Imagine Johnny, with guest co-host Jackie Rodgers, Jr. (Martin Short) interviewing Hoagland, Quayle, Evelyn, and Numbers Lady! Haaaaaaa!

Maybe there's hope - if Guy Caballero buys the network.

[Jasmine]

Guy can hire Edith Prickley (Andrea Martin) to replace Lisa Lyon, and Bobby Bittman (Eugene Levy) to replace Tommy. Lola Heatherton will be the new Numbers Lady.

The very thought of the name "Guy Caballero" makes me laugh. For some reason I've always particularly liked Joe Flaherty in almost everything he's done (loved his dad on "Freaks and Geeks"). But the panama-hatted wheelchair-using just reduces me to giggles.

[Pragmier]

GN can go to Dialing for Dollars. Since Moe Green's "disappearance" they need a host. Gotta respect a man in a wheelchair; it's rumored he had Moe planted under some stadium.

[ItsOver]

My favorite SCTV hosers.



I must be the only one on the planet with a "Strange Brew" DVD.

[Jasmine]

Some SCTV for y'all.

Under the influence of drugs, SCTV's star diva, Lola Heatherton, takes to the air in her special, "Bouncing Back To You", and lashes out at station owner, Guy Caballero...live, on the air...

SCTV Lola Heatherton dance number

[MV/Liberace!]

when women are so skinny that you can see the bony structure in the center of their chest.  disgusting.

[Jasmine]

Women who wear high stiletto heels with jeans.

Overweight women who wear tight clothing.

Men who wear white socks with black dress shoes.

Men and women who wear track pants in public.

Men who wear running shoes with any pants aside from jeans.

Any man over the age of eighteen who goes around shirtless in public.

Men and women over the age of thirty who wear Abacrombie and Fitch labelled t-shirts...or any trendy designer name displayed on any clothing item.

Women who wear lip liner.

People who text or talk on cell phones while in the company of others, especially when dining.

Parents who don't reprimand their children when the kids are rude and obnoxious.

People who walk too close behind me.

[HorrorRetro]

People who wear pajamas in public.  You never saw that until a few years ago.  It totally disgusts me.  How do you have such low standards to believe that's okay?  One time I ran into the garden dept. of Walmart, and I saw a woman wearing not only pajamas but a full robe and slippers.  WTF?  She wasn't some person on death's door who just had to get one last Walmart fix.  She was strolling with a loaded cart, taking her time.

This really perplexes me.  I can't imagine going into any public place without making sure I'm pulled together and decent looking.  I don't even go into my front yard unless I'm presentable.

I hear you. Me as well. Although I'm not a decent woman by any means, I try to look decent when even going to the local convenience store. 

Nice avie, HorrorRetro.  Give me an S! Give me an A! Give me a T!....

[stevesh]

I read an article a while back about how high-end hotels were having trouble with guests coming down to the dining room for dinner wearing the hotel-supplied bathrobes. I don't get it either.

[HorrorRetro]

Nice avie, HorrorRetro.  Give me an S! Give me an A! Give me a T!....

LOL.  I saw that movie poster the other day and just had to swipe it.  I've meant to watch it at various times.  I think I'll have to give it a go and see just how bad it is.
