That means that I've interacted with some of you guys for at least 24 years (counting CU and CC). It doesn't seem that long.

As for the asylum, I appreciate their efforts to entertain us with their stupidity, but I don't think there'll ever be an era as golden as when TominTib and Nadin were both sharing their lies and fabricated wisdom with their fellow inmates at the asylum.

The annoying VOICE isn't as terrifying as the Vogon level poetry of Calpeg.  :marsattacks:

At least when Fran was young, she was pleasing to the eyes as she walked away.

The former Mrs. Wiggum and I would usually watch silly sitcoms before drifting off to sleep. For some odd reason, she started watching "The Nanny" in reruns, so I teased her that Fran totally turned me on. That became a running joke.

I never knew Bobo the hobo was a fictional troll for someone's college research project.  Pretty smart way to study the DUmmy in it's native surroundings.

When the posts from that account stopped, I always assumed he (she?) was passed out in the backseat of the Buick Skylark when it flagged as an abandoned vehicle that got towed to a wrecking yard where it was put in the crusher with him (her?) blissfully unaware of it's upcoming fate.

It was entertaining to a point to hear about Nadine going to a Comicon and her adventures there amongst other things.

Way back during the time of the Lethal Weapon movies. My wife wanted to watch anything with Mel Gibson in it. I used to tease her about having the hots for Mel. Keeping mind that this was before Mel had his issues, she’d claim that I was crazy. She claimed that she just liked him because he was a good family man. I started watching everything that Dana Delany in it so, naturally, the wife started accusing me of having the hots for Dana Delany. I just said, “nope, I saw her on the first episode of China Beach in a red swimsuit and knew right then that she was a good family woman so I just like her because of her good family-ness”.
