The trio vs. the pirate-ladyman Recently lis opined that no native Utard remembers Lighthouse 20, the kid show that was broadcast on UHF channel 20. Now I have a slight dispute with lis, in that I remember the pirate on the show was played by a woman, and she recalls someone very different (a man, I presume). Now Lighthouse 20 was not by any means my favorite show (hell I think it replaced Gillagan's Island!), but I do remember it--not really fondly but I remember it. The real purpose of my writing is that I made the comparison of Lighthouse 20 to Hotel Balderdash--a show that apparently ran for 10 years on channel four here in SLC. Now this show was the bomb; not only did it start at 6:00 am 6:45 am and show nothing but 30's-late 40's Warner Brothers cartoons (you know, Bugs and Daffy, but not Porky Pig and certainly not that crap WB churned out from the 50s onward.) These cartoons, of course, were made for adults and the humor was mostly sophisticated in a slapstick kind...
Well, I cheated, but Futurama.
ReplyDeleteThat truck looks good on ya.
Farnsworth: "He knows when you're on the can."
ReplyDeleteLeela: "He'll hunt you down and blast your ass from here to Pakistan."
Zoidberg: "Ohh. ..."
I probably shouldn't have put in the lyrics, since my original reference was to "aks" as the proper pronunciation of "ask" in the future. The Futurama Xmas special, however, is the best ever, so thank you for quoting the proper lyrics, LB.
ReplyDeleteCan I call you HOSS?
ReplyDeleteThe carbon footprint is rising!! Not that I should talk since I'm about to have an hour commute each way. Watch out I may shoot someone on the road if I don't kill them with my carbon monoxide first.
ReplyDeleteSome people get a truck and it goes straight to their head.
ReplyDeleteYou should get a gun to go with that truck, though.
