Weak and pathetic until they turn into the Hulk. Or start stockpiling weapons, whichever comes first.

You're all assuming this stuff is actual cheese. I wouldn't count on it.

It makes me long for the glory days of the Chang.

Daily soap operas are close to soft porn. How come no one mentions that?

Outstanding Buzzkill==I enjoyed it so much that my buzz not only was not killed but got a pretty substantial boost.

If you're in the right part of East Texas—and god knows why anyone would be—it's Ames Fried Chicken. Overall the place is pretty shitty, but damn the chicken is good.

Yes, and Kurt Cameron is their Lizard King.

I'd be willing to try an Irish Coffee Shamrock Shake.

There's a Truman Capote piece called Hand-Carved Coffins that involves snakes in a car at one point.
Good stuff.

Probably George's sudden death stalled his movie career.
He was the lead in that show about the guys in the jeeps in the desert in WWII—The Rat Patrol, I think.
Of those guys, the German actor is the only one who seems to have had a real career, even if it was in soaps.

Didn't Police Squad on tv predate Airplane? I seem to recall that that was the first indication that Nielsen was great at comedy.

I remember he was chasing Lois, but I don't remember much more than that, really. It was a good show in the beginning.

Shows that were ruined
If the next in the series is going to be shows that were ruined, etc., I'd like to nominate Lois & Clark. It was good in the beginning, then started the mad rush downhill.
Lois should have hooked up with Lex Luthor instead of Clark Kent. That would have been a storyline.

23rd Psalm? The Lord is my shepherd, etc.?

Are these guys better than Dave Podmore?

Pottery advertising Kool Aid Pickles? Wow, talk about a niche market.

Telethons? Are they still on?

Judging by the movie clip, Jerry Lewis was performing an act of public service by stifling Petrillo's "career."

Miller, how right you are.
Nacogdoches TX has an elite class called the BIN—born in Nacogdoches.
Nac is about 30,000, with a state university, so the animosity towards "outsiders" is pretty well hidden most of the time.
And Nac is much better than Lufkin, down the highway south about 20 miles.

I have an answering machine because I don't answer my phone.
