Weekend Discussion Thread: It’s a Summer Picnic and Everyone’s Comin’

Alert regular Sue is back with:

But oh my yes (said in my best little old Wisconsin lady church voice), it’s time for the church or community annual summer picnic and potluck, For example…

That salad bar courtesy of “The Truck Farmer” looks so good. But should that nice Mr. Rowsdower have brought so much beer?

And you can also invite the host segment characters or cast members: I’m sure Mary Jo would bring her tater tot hot dish, the food of Her people. What would yours be like?

I THINK you should think twice about having some of those funny-lookin’ blue sammiches Bobo brought, the ones he said plenty of mayoNAISE.

    Well, the shorts could provide lots of fried chicken (but not until tomorrow), and of course What to Do on a Date will bring ice cream and Cokes (which is good, because you know that brat from Gamera vs. Zigra will start whining for a Coke first thing).

    Johnny Longbone will be bringing his stew, with onions, corn…peppers….He doesn’t know how to fix anything else, so take a little to make him feel better, and just pretend to like it.

    You can bring lots of Vermont maple syrup.
    Hell, they’re giving the stuff away.

    And maybe some nice 1950s diner sammiches (and cokes).

    Oh, and for some reason I keep getting a craving for CARNATION ICE CREAM.

    The Great Vorelli brought plenty of ham, but he won’t let anybody have any…

    And Emmett Kelly didn’t bring anything. He just stands around, eating and looking sad.

    Someone please stop Jimmy’s parents from “I Accuse My Parents.” Every single year, they bring nothin’ but booze and more booze. Don’t let ’em bribe you with a big five-dollar bill, either!

    Melissa’s going to bring walnuts from the family’s walnut ranch, as soon as they get done rounding them all up and branding them with tiny little brands.

    Sometimes you are surprised who shows up to a picnic when you invite the whole community. For instance, did you see those albino guys with the funny outfits? They brought baskets of mushrooms; I never thought of raw mushrooms as a side dish before.

    I had heard so much talk about Johnny Longbone’s green chile stew, so I tried some. Eh, it’s not that special; my wife’s green chile stew is FAR better!

    Well, I could go for something from Uncle Jim’s Dairy Farm. I would also love some potatoes from Jack Frost (preferably baked) since potatoes are what we eat. additionally, since the fish are ready, Ator could bring some trout (or salmon.) We could have some honey glazed ham from the finest killer bees. For dessert, some ice cream from the Twist-N-Creme, even though the local “tough” teens hang out there when they are not running from zombies. I would stay away from Neo’s avocado casserole, I heard it had a finger in it.

    Well, lets see…
    Mrs. Heintz was walking around with a bag of chips, telling everyone that they were getting too thin.

    Old Cliff Weismeyer brought some delicious frog legs.

    Dr. Langer (a.k.a. Della Street) brought tea she brewed in her chemistry lab. (On a side note, why did her observatory have a chemistry lab in the first place?)

    And lastly, Professor Neon brought plenty of good hot soup, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

    Me, I’m heading straight for Tim’s booth, where – as always – he’ll be shirtless and serving up his famous baloney sandwiches and beans. For dessert I want several heaping bowls of Brain Guy’s nutritious food pills. And I hear instead of coffee this year, Coleman is bringing his Magic Bottomless Dipper of Water. Finish the whole thing and you get your face rubbed in Coleman’s crotch! Look for the booth with the sleeping Mexican.

    I’ve just finished baking the turkey at 200 degrees for an hour and rubbing it with a turtle – let me check with Thong to see if the fish is ready… I should mention to Devil Doll that we’re having ham, though – I think he’s got some kinda food allergy or something.

    Bobo was going to bring Observer brain to the table, but that was all kinds of wrong, so that was stopped.

    Speaking of wrong, the Forresters were going to stage a “bumfight” between Torgo and Ortega, but that entertainment was replaced with Torgo and Tor Johnson doing an Abbott & Costello type routine based on their names.

    Just Cambot and me, perched on the Empire State building, sharing expired tins of green slime, waiting for the end of the world.

    I open a tin, allowing it to breathe like a fine wine.

    “You know, Cambot, this is where KISS had that famous photo shoot and Gene was tempted to throw Ace over the edge.

    Here, let me rub some of this slime onto your lens. Check that out. Nice soft focus. It looks like we’re in dream or flashback mode.

    You’re so quiet, Cambot. I love that about you.

    Hey, this stuff tastes like lime. Oh now I get it: The Green Lime. I don’t know how I missed that before. Hahaha. What a picnic.

    You know, we’ve been waiting for the end of the world for like two hours. Maybe we should pack it in and go to the official church picnic. I still have fifteen tins of never before aired green slime to share.”

    they watch the PACKERS!

    Someone really needs to explain to the space chicks from Gamera v. Guiron what brain food means. Nobody but the Zombie Nightmare zombie wanted any of what they brought.

    The protagonists from Last of the Wild were bringing a big spread, but they dropped it on the way.

    The Beast of Yucca Flats was bringing Lunchables, but they got nuked in transport. Probably by those nuke-happy idiots from King Dinosaur who more than overcooked their dino burgers.

    The Future War cyborgs brought their own explosion-cooked dinosaur steaks in boxes. Lots of boxes.

    The Brain that wouldn’t die brought herself in a pan and begged to die until someone put the Thing that Couldn’t die next to her and they really hit it off.

    The revelers from The Skydivers brought a meatloaf with hardly any bits of parachute in it.

    The Fire Maidens of Outer Space brought grilled Mime and drugged wine for knocking out any old people that might prevent them from going on dates with any cute guys. We’re not sure who it’s going to be this year, but when the Fire Maidens show up someone always gets tied up. Tee Hee, those girls.
