Weekend Discussion Thread: When Hell Started Bubbling Up for You

I want to start this one by saying: NO POLITICS!!! GOT IT??

Okay. Our pal Timmy says:

I just watched “Eegah!” (and since it was talk about this past Thursday) and I thought when did hell bubble up for you all? For me, (besides when the show was cancelled in 1999), it was when they did the tap dancing routine in the 1999 Oscars (look this one up kids).

I know what some of you want to say. NO POLITICS!!

That said, for me, it’s two words: Cousin Oliver. (Look that one up, too!)

What’s yours? And remember, NO POLITICS!!

What Did You Think?

Theater about half full in Dickson City (outside Scranton). Lots of laughs. I’d forgotten about all the bad acting in this thing.
Fave riff: “Leave…the…bait.”

Sampo from the Guv’mint.
