[2:20
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
remember going through a little town in Colorado with a sign that
said
"[Town
Name]. We like it here."
I
forget the name but it was between Colorado Springs and the Kansas
border
[2:21
PM]
Hehe
"Rotten
Egg Enema Kansas (Pop 12) - We Like It Here"
Makes
one wonder why the town council decided that was necessary.
Is
there a wiki out there somewhere, explaining?
[2:24
PM] Mr. Blue:
I'm
trying to find the sign
There
aren't many towns between the border and Colorado Springs
I
think it was Simla, but I'm not seeing the signs on Google street
view
This
was 20 years ago. Maybe they took them down
They
were big and hand painted and I remember looking for one facing the
other way when we left the town to make sure I read it right, and it
was there.
[3:03
PM]
Heh
Like
a Lovecraft town - try as you might you could never find the place
again.
[3:14
PM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe
put on the reverse of the sign: "Simla: Your body may leave but
your soul stays forever."
[3:24

LOL

What
kinda store would he go to?
[9:54

[9:54

"I

He

(Displaying Atari 2600) How much?"
"Uh...$15?"
"(considers)
Ho-k. (bell rings) Pay my cousin."
"What?"
"You
say $15...ho-k for advance computer. You pay."
"I
thought this was a game show."
"Come
on come on come on...out! Next game!"
A
funny enough sketch to just fake episodes forever...hehe
[10:05
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
wasn't sure what the hell they were supposed to be. Israelis?
[10:07
AM]
According
to the one thing I'm looking at, Israeli
Maybe
because they say where it's happening?
“Live
from 47th Street between Broadway and 6th Avenue”
Sabra (Hebrew: צבר, tzabar)
is an informal-turned-formal term that refers to any Jew born
on Israeli territory.

[2:58
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah
[3:04
PM]
I
watched Jerry Lewis's "The Nutty Professor" over the
weekend. Wasn't scary, WAS funny, but it was a "horror"
movie.
Buddy
Love was a monster
Socially
anyway.
By
any modern analysis he was a psychotic and very obviously dangerous.
Back
when it was new, it was hilarious.
Every
film I've watched with him since he died so far has been surprising.
And
disturbing
[3:15
PM] Mr. Brown:
[3:18
PM]
Disorderly
Orderly is hilarious.
But
then he has these scenes where he is perfectly normal with an
educated tone of voice describing his crushing mental block.
And
if the pathos of that wasn't enough, they put in a complicated
dysfunctional relationship thing. Ugh.

"This is a comedy? Our grandparents were f'd up."
[3:09

Didn't
he do the holocaust clown one
[3:09
PM]
Yes
Never
shown
[3:14
PM] Mr. Blue:
It
will be released in 2024 as per lewis's will or something
Seeing
a use for him, the commandant assigns him to help load Jewish
children on trains leading out of the internment camp, with the
promise his case will be reviewed. By a twist of fate, he ends up
accidentally accompanying the children on a boxcar train
to Auschwitz,
and he is eventually used, in Pied
Piper fashion,
to help lead the Jewish children to their deaths in the gas
chamber.
Good
Lord!
[3:19
PM]
Yup
Whatever
his intentions, thank God he realized what was gonna happen.

[8:42
AM] Mr. McGreen:
I
was just reminded of an old nickelodeon show from the 90s, called
Space Cases
looks
like it was nick's shot at a space opera
[8:42
AM]
Didn't
see much of it but I remember it
[8:42
AM] Mr. Blue:
Doesn't
ring a bell
[8:42
AM] Mr. McGreen:
Apparently
george takei and mark hamill made appearances
[8:46
AM] Mr. Blue:
1997
was probably just after i stopped watching nickelodeon
[8:46
AM] Mr. McGreen:
i
remember still watching power rangers in 95 so i likely was
[8:47
AM]
I
don't think I watched anything live action on it except “Pete and
Pete”, which was brilliant.
Some
of the cartoons were clever
Real
Monsters and Rugrats (early episodes) I'd look in on.
[8:49
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
liked pete and pete, are you afraid of the dark, doug, rocko, salute
your shorts, land of the lost, ren & stimpy, clarissa explains it
all
[8:50
AM] Mr. McGreen:
the
only one of those i didnt like was ren and stimpy, too gross
pete
and pete just never really watched
[9:00
AM]
Oh
yes...Rocko was great
I
forgot “Ren & Stimpy” was Nick
Waaaaay
back I was a "You Can't Do That on Television" watcher.
I
read an article about that show...
Turns
out, you kinda couldn't do what they did on television.
Up til then they showed pretty bland and safe little kid shows and cartoons.
Then a bunch of smart-assed Canadian kids came along and turned Nickelodeon into what it is and has remained.
And thank God for that!
[9:02
AM] Mr. McGreen:
I
remember when they wouldn't say "shit" on TV
[9:02
AM]
I
remember when they wouldn't say “damn”.
I
remember the first time it happened and we were all surprised.
Well...first
show we watched where it happened.
"The
Love Boat" of all things.
Sweet,
goody-good, cheerful Julie
She
was trying to dry some clothes out on a line in her cabin and had
trouble with a clothes pin.
"(frustrated)
Damn..."
(Silver
family) "Woah."
"The
Love Boat" - such daredevils
Apparently,
“Gone With The Wind” is why people started saying "damn"
in regular conversation
It
was a curse word about the same level as F-bombing.
Look
at old editorial comics and such and they'd never spell it out.
You
get a "D-" same as you might an "F-"
And
then Rhett Butler said it – out loud! - to Scarlet O'Hara in the
biggest slam in the biggest movie and everyone saw it!
Zow!
Upon
consideration - by the writer of the article - if Rhett had told
Scarlet he didn't give a fuck, it would have been the reverse and
we'd still be grounding our kids for daring to utter the dreaded
D-word and fuck would be passe.

“Frankly
my dear [dubbed over] I love you. Let's get married.”
[9:28

"Frankly
my dear I'm off to see the Winnibigoshish damn."
(that
took a sad amount of research)
Was
yours from "The Critic"?
I
remember an episode where he was criticizing Ted Turner for going
beyond coloring B&W classics to changing the endings he didn't
like.
[9:31
AM] Mr. Blue:
Simpsons...
The version they played for the nursing home
