OT warning: do not watch The Smurfs movie
My Turkey day got contaminated with some of the kids' entertainment
in the form of the Smurfs Movie. I can't quite put my finger on what is so horrifying about it but trust me, I'm not kidding, viewer discretion is advised. My main concern now is how long the adverse effects will linger, especially from that awful song. |

Before NL, there was The Times Square Two, which I saw on stage at Le Hibou in the mid- to late 1960s. One of the two was Michel Choquette (the son of Robert Choquette...google it) who, as the Wikipedia article puts it "went on to work for The National Lampoon...Choquette [now]teaches screen-writing and comedy writing at McGill University and Concordia University in Montreal." Wikipedia says this about NatLampCo: "The magazine was a springboard to Hollywood for a generation of comedy writers, directors, and performers. Various alumni went on to create and write for Saturday Night Live, The David Letterman Show, SCTV, The Simpsons, Married... with Children, Night Court, and various films including National Lampoon's Animal House, Caddyshack, National Lampoon's Vacation, and Ghostbusters." So, in my mind, The Times Square Two set the stage for the creation of National Lampoon which spawned SNL. Interesting that Canadians (Choquette, Ackroyd, Lorne Michaels) were present at those seminal moments. As an aside, Dan Ackroyd was hired to help at the door when Muddy Waters and his band were playing. We chatted a bit during intermissions about nothing in particular but I remember that he had purchased a harmonica and was playing it very well for someone who claimed to not know how to do this. http://lehibou.ca/muddy-waters -- "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor " -- Desmond Tutu --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

The fact that the core of the National Lampoon writing staff -- including Michel Choquette -- had written for the HARVARD Lampoon is not significant to you? And, a plurality of SNL's first cast had worked for Second City, either the original Chicago theater, the Toronto offshoot, or both: John Belushi, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Gilda Radner. The direct connection between National Lampoon and SNL was their Radio Hour performers: John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray,[2] Gilda Radner, and Brian Doyle-Murray; and writers Michael O'Donoghue and Anne Beatts, Harold Ramis, who was one of the co-writers for the National Lampoon movie Animal House. > > Interesting that Canadians (Choquette, Ackroyd, Lorne Michaels) > were present at those seminal moments.

OOOPS, I drastically goofed when I described soup (1) above as "split pea soup" -- that should be simply "green pea soup"!! Sorry about that -- here are a couple of links: https://www.campbells.com/campbell-s...reen-pea-soup/ Then there's the (2) "split green pea with ham & bacon" https://www.campbells.com/campbell-s...reen-pea-soup/ Just wanted to clarify the two soups I meant to compare and how they're different critters. Hopefully the links work for y'all without any problems. Sky -- ================================ Kitchen Rule #1 - Use the timer! Kitchen Rule #2 - Cook's choice! ================================ |

Cussing? 19th century much? The BBC does not bleep over "certain words" (tm applied for) which are a. commonly used and b. found in any modern dictionary of the English language. I'd much rather hear the word than assume some dried up old biddy is sitting in a control booth applying antiquated moral values to language. Such stranglehold on expression assumes that the word is unfamiliar, in which case it would mean nothing, or too familiar in which case there is hardly any point in pretending it doesn't exist. And that is what it is...pretending, bowdlerizing.
