You’d a though she’d had her fill of whiney men after Michael Gross and Michael J. Fox.
Huh?
Oh. I get it. Kurt Cobain, in your estimation, is whiny. Got it.
Blasphemy, Cullen! BLASPHEMY!
I wouldn’t classify Michael J. Fox, Michael Gross or Kurt Cobain as whiny which is why I didn’t get it, originally.
Curly – I still GUFFAW every time I see those two photos – and I still GUFFAW at the fact that you put them up TWICE.
hahahahahahaha
Love that movie, by the way! Everyone’s so damn good in it – although it always makes me feel like taking a good long SHOWER afterwards.
I.am.a.lunatic. :)
You are a lunatic and I adore you. The image of you GOOGLING TINA YOTHERS – I am still laughing about that.
Also, I’m bummed – I can’t do that screen-shot thing from my DVD player on my laptop. For whatever reason, that feature is not included on my feckin’ version of the technology – and it pisses me off.
I suppose I could rectify it – but I’m pissed it didn’t COME that way!!
Gary Oldman is so AMAZING in it. I was actually in love with Sid Vicious at the end of the movie. You know, in spite of the murder and what not.
Right, right. In spite of the murder.
Actually, I Googled both of them! Ha ha ha ha. I didn’t do a screen capture this time around, unlike the time I did with Mrs. Brady. Wait, that sounds dirty… Speaking of Carol, I’m still bothered by the fact that she’s now doing denture commercials. That shit’s not right.
Anyhoo, next time you, me and a computer are in the same room, I’ll show you a few tricks. :)
I know that on my DVD-player thing on my laptop – there is one button that I’m supposed to be able to press to capture a screenshot – I see it on the manual – but it is not clickable. So obviously I need to do something to activate it.
LOSER. How long have I had this laptop???
Speaking of Mrs. Brady:
Did you see when she showed up on Life with Brady? Or whatever it was called? To “advise” the now-grown-up Peter Brady on what to do about his child-bride from Short Creek?
I am so expecting you to get that last short-creek reference. Although I may be asking too much.
Let’s just say that Conrad Bain is involved.
Uhm – who’s a lunatic now????
Full disclosure: I actually paused A Very Brady Christmas and TOOK A PICTURE of Mrs. Brady with my digital camera. That’s worse than Googling, no? On many levels actually.
Okay, I admit it… I looked up that Short Creek reference on IMDB.com. I’ve surmised why I didn’t know about it: It was about polygamy and it came out in 1981. Similiar to The Facts of the Life and Spencer, I wasn’t allowed to watch such “filth” as my parents would call it. However, it didn’t stop me from watching Dallas on Friday nights. My mother was addicted. She only shooed me out of the living room when things started getting dirty. Sue Ellen and Cliff were quite randy as I recall…
I’m several Hoegaardens into a six pack, FYI. And by several, I mean six.
Michael J. Fox and Michael Gross may not be whiny in person, but on that show definitely. As for Kurt, weeeeell, I wouldn’t say he made his living off of whining, oh yeah I would.
That is not to say that that wasn’t funny Curly. Amazingly so, in fact.
Sid and Nancy is one of top-10 flicks.
Oh, Sheila, you need to stop by the Swilling or my blog and check out the Subtitle/Bombay TV post. Too damn funny.
One of my top-10 flicks. God!
I loved Family Ties. I loved Nirvana. I find none of it to be whiny.
Back to the FUNNINESS of curly’s observation – how ’bout that?
curly –
I grew up in a household where I was not allowed to see the movie Grease and I also was not allowed to watch Three’s Company. ??? Somehow “Child Bride of Short Creek” slipped through the cracks.
I AM NOW HOWLING WITH LAUGHTER … what?? Child Bride of Short Creek?? wtf????
bwahahahahaha
It was HORRIFYING! Oh – and there was a young Helen Hunt in it.
Cullen – argh, I went to your site and I guess I need a flash plug-in for Bombay TV (I am feeling so inadequate in terms of my technology – no screen-capture on the DVD and now this!!) so I can’t see whatever that link is.
It looks hilarious, though – whatever it is. You put in English words and see how they would translate it?
curly –
hahahahahaha you took a picture of Mrs. Brady off of your television. Yup -that is MUCH WORSE than anything else.
But I am forever grateful to you.
What a ridiculous Christmas special. But … man, we all saw it!! We all tuned in!! It was an event!
It’s clips from Bollywood TV shows and you subtitle them.
I don’t mean to toot my own horn but I’m particulary pleased with the “Sha la la la” ending.
Speaking of the theme song, I have to say that it really poses a question for the ages: What would do, baby, without us?
Profound, don’t you think? I mean really, what would we do? I think I’m going to get this bracelet made up: WWDBWU? Who wants one?
Um, did I mention that I’m three sheets?
Dammit, I forgot the “we.” Damn this addiction to Belgian beer.
And here’s the link to the Flash Player plug-in. If you want it.
Alex Keaton for president T-shirts would go over well.
Belgian Beer. mmmmmmmmm
Speaking of Grease, I remember one of my friends lifting the needle off the record whenever a curse was uttered in “Greased Lightning.” His timing was impeccable. He knew his mother from Tipperary would scalp him if she heard that dirty lyrics. It was really impressive how he had it down to well-timed science. He really missed his calling as the person who bleeps out curses during live broadcasts. He sells pharmaceuticals now. Pity.
curly – I just looked at your picture of Mrs. Brady singing again and laughed out loud.
Look at her earnest posture!
I’m totally starting a band called Earnest Posture. They will tour with The Alan Alda Sensitivity Project. Obviously.
That is hilarious. He would have to hover by the turntable.
From Greased Lighting:
“It’s a real [blank] wagon – she’s Greased Lightning!”
“The chicks’ll [well-timed skip] for Greased Lightning!”
So, the Alan Alda Sensitivity Project would be progressive rock, obviously.
Best Girlfriend: Tracy Pullen (sp?) or Courtney Cox?
(Let’s ignore the girl brought out in the final few episodes that supposed to remind him of “Ellen”)
BTW, Curly, remember that the romance theme between Ellen and Alex also started with “What would you do…”
No doubt, Cullen. Jess is on board to play the triangle. I’m doing interpretive dance with the occasional bagpipe interlude. Claim your instrument and join the TAASP!
Can I have the glockenspiel? I can’t play it (except maybe Do, Re, Mi), but I just like saying the word “glockenspiel”.
I can only play the guitar, but I’m thinking that’s not sensitive enough. I guess I could play the autoharp.
I call the zither!
Guys … I think we need to get to work designing our album cover for the Alan Alda Sensitivity Project.
My goal is to have it included here.
I saw that at Dean’s earlier. Too. Damn. Funny. #s 84 and 83. Back to back. You can’t take too much of that.
My brother owns #28. It’s actually hilariously frightening and good. If by “good” I mean: WTF???
The one thing most of these have in common is a total and utter lack of irony.
83 and 84 – hahahahahaha so WEIRD!!! The Leif Garret one too is just … a picture of the collective shame of my whole generation.
Naturally, this one jumped right out at me: http://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/lords_of_acid/pussy/
Naturally.
Your friend with the Tipperary parents would have a field day with that one, I imagine.
Wow man, Prince is on this list, like A LOT.
Just a random observation apropos of nothing, really…
OMG, look at Kenny Loggins! (#47)
While you guys work on the album cover, I’ve been working on lyrics. I’ve almost completed 50 Ways to Have a Deeper Connection With Your Significant Other and Because I’m a Man, I Know That, Regardless of the Problem, It’s My Fault on Some Deeper Level.
There’s only one problem with this Earnest Posture thing – it’s already been done, only they screwed up and called themselves “Christopher Cross.”
HA HA HA HA HA! Suck on it, Christopher Cross!
