Klowns in my Koffee

BK said:

1. Jello salad with those little marshmallows
2. Fireworks displays
3. Reruns of the Addams Family
4. Any Bruce Willis movie where he's the one guy saving the population from an evil gang
5. Ditto Clint Eastwood
6. Even the Clint Eastwood movie with the orangutan
7. Some country music
8. The Celebrity Apprentice
9. Line dancing (if no one is watching)
10. Reading People magazine in the dentist's office


Lets see here, by the numbers:

1.) You clearly have been hanging around Minnesotans and/or Norwegians too long..
2.) CAN’T hate on fireworks displays. Things go boom. Much happiness.
3.) The Addams family rocked. John Astin/Carolyn Jones > Fred Qwynne/Yvonne DeCarlo
4.) Bruce Willis. No further explanation needed.
5.) Clint Eastwood. See above.
6.) MIGHT have to let that one slide. Maybe.
7.) Agreed. Came to it later in life though. Rediscovered my Dad’s Johnny Cash albums..
8.) Never seen it. Is that the one run be Donald (no one can tell it’s a comb-over) Trump?
9.) Good god. No. Just. No.
10.) I’ll go with Reader’s Digest for 200 Alex.



Ten things I like the others may not?

1.) Meat loaf. The much-maligned mystery meal of the cafeteria is divine I the hands of Good My Lady Wife.
2.) Meatloaf. Aside from one of the few things worth remembering about the 1970’s, he’s proof to the world that even an ugly picked-on fat kid can make good. HATED “Bat out of Hell” when I first heard it. Have since burned out three copies on cassette, and 2 CD’s. Thank goodness for MP3’s.
3.) The goofy movies “Down Periscope” and “Major League.” When my 1 year old was in a body cast for 6 of the longest weeks of my life, these two films were seemingly on the “Family Channel” every other night. Laughing at something dumber than me helped retain my sanity. Such as it is.
4.) Star Trek: The Motion(less) Picture. We Fremen Geeks have a saying: “Bad Trek is better than No Trek at all.
5.) Enterprise. Stop looking at me like that. See the above exception.
6.) Any movie with Humphrey Bogart, or John (PBAH) Wayne. Especially if they have Lauren Bacall and Maureen O’Hara in them (respectively). Extra points for either Walter Brennan or Gabby Hayes. Full trifecta if Alan Hale Sr. shows up.
7.) Black jelly beans.
8.) Books and films about Zombies. Like fireworks, something in them tickles the Y chromosome..
9.) “Ice Road Truckers” and “Deadliest Catch.” What can I say. Those guys remind me of my Dad.
10.) Dive bars. You meet real people in them, as opposed to the touristy places.

BK Said:

"The best picture taken of me in the last five years was inside a turtle. I'm afraid to know what that means."

MAYBE it means,

Off the cuff, you understand,

1.) You need to come out of your shell? (Obvious, needed to to get it out of the way)

2.) Slow and Steady wins the race? (Ok, that was a plate cleanser.. Hang tight)

3.) "I'm not sure I like the new office they put me in.." (And where's my stapler?)

4.) "Whoa. The Community Extension Classes sure have progessed since EST!' (Too esoteric? Try this one..)

5.) "Me, trying out for the new Kafka play at the Orpheum."

6.) "Ok, I got the armor on, how do I fire the repulsors?"

7.) "Midlife Crisis Ninja Turtles!" (What the hell.. cheaper than a Ferari and the Pool Boy..)

8.) "Gamera, seen here in happier times before the abusive relationship with Godzilla." (Too Nerdy?)

9.) "My Husband took this picture. In retaliation I will post the pic of him wearing his "Sailor Moon" costume from when he was "confused."

..I'll be here all week.

I read your comments and laughed until tears rolled down. (Camera cuts to Morgan Freeman crossing that off the list.)

How did you know that DH has a Sailor Moon costume? (Or it shortly will appear that way with a touch of Photoshop ...) I'm still a little unnerved by that photo of him dressed like Mom for Halloween.

Your list is phenomenal. Maybe there is a hidden cult where we can laugh at the cool kids.

1. DD College Kid can eat a whole meatloaf by herself. Sparks fly from the knife and fork.
2. Great choice. He escaped football-saturated Texas and his potential father-in-law referred to him as "that sweaty guy". {"Behind the Music" -- another guilty pleasure}
3. Absolutely. Add "Caddy Shack", "Fifth Element", and "Rocky Horror" (Reference Meatloaf)
5. This one is a little more difficult for me. If the great Bird of the Galaxy had still been around, would he have tried to bouy sagging ratings with more and more cheesecake shots of that Vulcan? (We call her 'sweaty cleavage Vulcan' at our house.) I don't remember Spock in a thong. Still, your exception is logical, perfectly logical.
6. Oh, yes. "The Quiet Man" for one.
7-9. I can see the attraction.
10. Is there any other kind?

Re: Trek cheesecake shots. No, The Great Bird PROBABLY wouldn't have done that (though the TOS uniforms for the ladies certainly seemed.. chilly). Rick Berman rode the franchise into the ground like Slim Pickins riding a W-88 into oblivion. I like the "Sweaty Cleavage Vulcan." They had someone like that on Voyager too. 'Round here we called her 36-of-D

I'm so glad someone other than me *dislikes* Owl City! It's like Jonas Brothers trying to cover Postal Service. DO NOT WANT.

Strangely, I have most of the toys from that room in the video.
