off the floor because they kept making fun of the "Mr. High Hat" puppet
that I have hated, hated, HATED for the past thirty years? And how nobody
ever believes me that I actually had a teacher with THAT F'ING PUPPET?
Well, now I must say this: DAMN YOU, "SOUTH PARK"! YOUR OPEN MOCKERY
OF THAT EVIL PUPPET HAS GIVEN THEM THE IDEA TO START SELLING IT AGAIN
TO PURGE THE JOY FROM A NEW GENERATION OF CHILDREN!
For only sixteen dollars, you can now buy your very own Mr. High Hat
and use it to give well-adjusted children special "therapy" that will
warp them for life. Look, an actual picture of Mr. High Hat:
http://www.agsnet.com/Group.asp?nGroupInfoID=highhat
I last saw him in about 1977, so I can't vouch for that being exactly
the same design as the original Mr. High Hat that tormented me, but
I do see that not only have they revived Mr. High Hat, but they've also
started selling the matching rubber stamps again. The ones where when
you try your best, the teacher mashes one into the back of your hand and
the purple ink won't wash off before the other kids see it and beat
you up for bearing The Purple Stigmata Of Mr. High Hat.
I suppose the puppet himself isn't necessarily evil. But the teacher
I had was, especially when he was making Mr. High Hat talk to me.
If I had a time machine, I'd definitely have a difficult time choosing
between using it to end all wars, and just using it to assassinate
Mr. High Hat in 1973. THAT HAT BASTARD!!!
-- K.
Incidentally, the teacher in question
liked to tell war stories involving
pulling people's ears off.
And how many of YOU had a teacher who
taught such important lessons about
dismemberment fantasies?

I had a teacher in high school who screwed us out of our feild trip, so
instead he brought in some slides of some pictures he took when he was a
helicopter pilot in The War Against Viet Nam and Sanity. One slide was a
chixor who was carrying around her blue decomposing baby and another one
was one of his comrades who got minced up by the blades of a crashed
helicopter. Is that the kind of teacher you had in mind?

I had a rabbi with red stripes once.
According to groups.google.com, Kibo has not made a post about Lardo-brand
candy since January 24, 2002. The fourth anniversary of the original
ark reference to Lardo will be on February 8, 2003. Please light a

So you're saying he taught conformity, plus a tiny amount of phonics?

Why don't they just skip all the chef stuff and let the memory serve

Pink Lady Without Jeff?
And yes, I have the entire run of "Pink Lady & Jeff" on DVD. My favorite's

it has Robbie The Robot.

Does that make you the big-eared Darrin or the in-the-closet Darrin?
I recall that was a pretty lame episode, so I bet it was one of the ones
with the second Darrin. It was certainly in color because the stripes
drawn on Sam's face were definitely red.
I don't recall the details, but I'm sure I can re-create the entire episode:
...Dr. Bombay gives Sam the wrong witch medicine for her witch cold.
She breaks out in red stripes during Darrin's presentation to a client.
Mr. Tate fires him but the client says "Red striped rashes! What a brilliant
new way to advertise my peanut butter!" and Darrin is re-hired at exactly
the same salary he's re-hired at every week. Then Endora accidentally
duplicates all my E-mail because I changed the time zone on my computer.

Is either worth trying?

Only if he actually killed the baby and the comrade by ripping their
ears off with his bare hands, or if he at least ripped the slides up
with his bare hands after you saw them. You get half credit if the
reason you had to miss the field trip was that he kept shouting

If it's the new book by Mike Nelson, "Mind Over Matters", it's a better
value than his previous book of movie reviews, because it isn't 40% blank
space. For some reason, in "Mike Nelson's Movie Megacheese", every
movie/TV series review seemed to end with three or four lines of text on
their own page, looking so lonely and pathetic by themselves. And then the
next review starts on the next page about a third of the way down the page.
So, sure, everything is nice and uncluttered, but good god there was a lot
of wasted paper. At any rate, the new book is more cluttered, wastes less
paper, and is therefore a better value. At least with regards to the ink-
to-paper ratio, if there is such a measure, which there certainly should
be.
Also, every page doesn't start off with a paragraph praising DVD
technology. Sure, DVDs are swell and all, but the praise starts to get
redundant. Unless he is using some advanced form of "call-backs" that I
don't "get" because my sense of humor is "underdeveloped*".

Never tried "beef fry" or vegetarian bacon, that I know of. Never
tried beef bacon, either, so why am I responding to your post?
Oh, yeah. To tell you that the butcher guys I buy stuff from tell me
that beef bacon is a beef brisket that has been cured in much the same
way that regular pig bacon is cured. Since that's a similar process to
the one used to make pastrami, and the same cut of meat, don't blame
me if you start hankering for some rye-bread toast halfway through
breakfast.
Presuming, of course, that you only eat bacon at breakfast, like a
proper American.

Actually, check the Iron Chef FAQ for the real spelling.
I was going to correct that post last week but suspected I was being
TROLLED! But now I see that soemone's going to BELIEVE the WRONG ANSWER
and now I must act!
From http://www.ironfans.com/faq/ --
Q: What exactly is Kaga saying at the beginning of the show?
A: The famous phrase is "If memory serves me correctly..."
The Japanese-English breakdown is something like this:
Watakushi no - My (the no is a possessive)
kioku - memory
ga - (subject marker)
tashika - is certain
naraba... - if...
The phrase has been parodied by Japanese comedians.
Written a bit more phonetically, it's
"Wa-tak-shi-no-key-yo-ku-ga-tash-ka-na-ra-ba".

and by this time my lungs were aching for air!
Once Mike Nelson met Jesse "Maximum Leader" Ventura, and Ventura made
some joke about how the character on "Sea Hunt" was named Mike Nelson,
and Nelson wrote in TV Guide "Oh, yeah... old guys have made that joke
to me before!"
Which was funny, except that on MST3K, Nelson or one of his cohorts had
spent years sticking in dozens of references to "Sea Hunt." I think he's
a fan.

"Mind Over Matters" gets dangerously close to Andy Rooney territory in
spots, but the chapter about his job working the phone for a collection
agency was delightfully horrifying.
