“Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” kicks butt!!
BTW… check out my Chuck Workman tribute on http://www.freewebs.com/citizensofboracho
So why didn’t you get layed? In construction talk a laid is a tool used to spread a compound, i.e. spackle, glue, cement.
So does that mean to be layed is to be spread?
Trilogy Of Terror is one of my favorite things that’s ever been on tv. It’s a horror movie from 1975, three stories w/ Karen Black playing 4 different roles. The first two aren’t anything amazing, but the third kicks about 11 different kinds of ass. A woman receives a zuni fetish doll as a gift, and a note comes with it that says “don’t let the gold chain fall off.” Well, it does, and mayhem ensues.
If Capt B has all those clarinets, he should form a big clarinet group, like Johnny Puleo and the Harmonica Gang. Which role do you want, bet?
Remember when Keith Olbermann was on ESPN Sportscenter? He worked mostly with Dan Patrick, but I remember him working with Craig Kilborn and making Kilborn actually bearable.
I don’t mind Carol Of The Bells at all, and I think it even sounds good by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, who make it sound very, very prog (and I mean that in the best way possible).
Yeah, I’m with Bet on the “deep or important movie” thing—“Ghostbusters” not so much, “Raiders” much more, but still just an action movie. Granted, one of the best action movies ever made, but still, not exactly “Schindler’s List”.
“Raiders” is in my top ten all time favorite movies.
I won’t ask you guys what your top ten is because such a list would be ever-changing and impossible to nail-down in the first place.
BILLY MAYS!
AAAAAAAAH!!!
OXYCLEAN WILL GET YOUR CLOTHES CLEAN—OXYCLEAN!
The 5 Minute Show is no longer around because of time-constraints š I keep toying with the idea of going back to it, but I’m not sure… :\
I LOVE the kazoo thing!!
I LOVE trivia!
Bet, you should check out Twitter.com—microblogging! 140 characters per post! WEEEEE!!!
“the faun” was the *title character*—“Pan”.
I actually found that movie to be wonderful, but found the title to be very misleading. It should have been called something that actually described the movie—there was just not enough labyrinth for it to be called that. It was more her story than a story about Pan’s labyrinth—sorry, Guillermo!
“Devil’s Backbone” is SO much better—I highly recommend it if you haven’t already seen it—same director.
Wow—“Blades of Glory” is that bad? I’m DEFINITELY staying away from that then, since I don’t care for Will Farrel in anything he isn’t playing George W. Bush in.
As for Christmas, Bet, I’m with ya. I enjoy the happy, family, good cheer stuff—what I don’t like is the commercialism, the guilty buying and the guilty giving and of course, the push toward religion. My aunt still asks me if I’ve settled on a religion yet. I’ve been an Atheist since I was twelve, thanks. No, Aunt Sue, I have yet to settle.
O_O
Don’t worry, Bet—TV is dying. It’s all going to be Internet downloads and much cheaper than those DVDs. WAHOO!!!
I’d like a kazoo—Sten. But not one of those sucky-ass fucking kazoos you two were using.
I still like the Carol of the Bells. š I think all carols BUT that one should be banned.
OK, not really.
How do you sing Carol of the Bells—I don’t think I’ve ever heard the same lyrics twice with that song since it always gets used in stupid fucking commercials.
Santa is the biggest bitch of them all.
Olbermann is pretty cool—I listen to the podcast version of his show almost every day. He’s a latter day Phil Donahue. That’s awesome that you love Olbermann—I’m sorry you guys stopped dating. Even good relationships end sometimes. š
Call them “FUDGE OFFs”!!
HOW DID YOU KNOW WHICH HOLIDAY MOVIE/SHOWS I DIDN’T GET RIGHT!?!?
My God, it’s like Stennie’s in my HEAD!
Pull up some gray matter and have a seat! It’s comfy in there, isn’t it?
KAZOO CITY
“I liked their kazoos so much, I bought the company!”
KazOOOOO?
Oh yeah—what’s your gals’ favorite Christmas movie?
Mine is “Die Hard”.
In lieu of gifts, donations can be made in bet’s name to her favorite charity, the United Misfit Toys College Fund.
Re: Robbie. Hmm, itās hard to explain. Heās a local. Iāve heard him on the radio, seen him on TV and he plays here all the time. But Iāve yet to be familiar with a large sampling of his work or see him live. Itās funny though, Iāve heard him described as the next Elvis Costello and Iāve always paid attention when I see or hear his name. So Iām not exactly a fan, but I like what Iāve heard and would like to hear more.
Re: The āsecretā of Nick & Don: I was trying to write a recap about TAR 12 and wanted to refresh my memory about something from an episode. So I visited the Wikipedia TAR 12 entry. And right there under the Cast heading is the connection to Robbie. Well, I know that you canāt always trust Wikipedia and so I went to check the source for this item, which is Robbieās fan page. Ta-da! Contrary to Betās belief, I donāt know shit, but I depend on semi-reliable sources. It was just chance that Stennie had left me a comment with a link to a Robbie Fulks MP3 just days before.
Re: How I found the podcast. Occasionally I came to Stennieās site and provided snotty answers to Daily Trivia questions. I noticed that someone named Bet also did. Visited her site, found a link to Hucklebug. Voila! Iām definitely a newbie though and still learning how things work. I just realized you did shout-outs after somebody left a comment. Mama didnāt raise no dummy. I like that youāre friends and talk about good movies and life in general. My condolences about Blades of Glory ā but thanks for the warning.
This is a long comment. Iāll stop now. Maybe Iāll look more mysterious that way. But Iāll keep listening, if you donāt mind.
Did I mention that this comment should be read to the tune of Carol of the Bells?
I saw Blades of Glory on an airplane. I’m not going to defend it, but I could watch most of it, which I usually can’t on those kinds of movies. But what does it say that on that flight, it was in the top tier of things I wanted to see. But I usually don’t want to watch really violent movies on airplanes—I want happy thoughts. Blades of Glory was bad, but it was no Kingpin.
I like Christmas, but I don’t bother decorating my house any more, and I’m skipping Christmas this year. You have no obligation to do up your own house—go to your family’s house where it’s all gussied up on the day and skip your own house. On years like this when I can’t get home, I simply ignore Christmas. It comes frequently enough that it’s not that long of a wait until the next one. Christmas is mostly for kids, so I figure I have one more year before I have to pay serious attention to it again—next year, he’ll get a little wrapping paper and a box and he’ll be thrilled, and we’ll do this at my parents’ anyway.
And it’s not like I’m ever getting another present for me again—I don’t really want a lot of stuff, but already this year my Christmas presents from my family have been a bassinet, a car seat and stroller, baby clothes, and books about babies.
And thanks for the kazoo offer, but I’ve got one here. It was a wedding favor. Yes it was.
I love Carol of the Bells when done properly and usually instrumental only (I like George Winston’s version), but I hate it in a commercial. They tend to do Hallmark/jewelry-type commercials with it where it’s supposed to be ‘heartwarming’, and I want to bash the screen in.
I’d love to see the podcast in interpretive dance. But the no swearing one—that will be interesting. Does it count if you edit it out later? I can hear it now. “I have no fucking clue… Oh shit—I said fuck! Dammit, let’s edit the whole thing out.” And downhill from there.
I hate to say it, but of that list of movies and other holiday stuff, I’ve only seen three or four of them, and I think I’m only really Rudolph and Scrooged literate. And maybe Miracle on 34th street, if it’s the original.
I didn’t realize that Mikey had guessed that in the channel, but if he got it first, he got it first. Send him a prize. He likes HB Prizes.
A no swearing HB? I bet you $5 each you can’t do it – but no cheating and editing it out~~
I’m going to have to listen in to this podcast again. I didn’t understand half of it. Were you speaking a secret language?
Damn, Lily. That was the longest comment ever. Are you in competition with ThePete?
Hey, I don’t get out much any more. At least I’m not simply posting reviews of “The View”.
