I'm sure all of us do our own impressions of favorite SCTV characters, which
might make for a fun little event at our first annual SCTV Con.

I do a pretty mean Sid Dithers. How about you?

Well nuts...I think the only one Crystal and I can do is from the sketch "I Cry
Each Day I Die". We've got the voices down real good...

Eugene (me): "Bonnie..Bonnie you're dying..."

Andrea (Crystal): "I know...but I'm not gonna cry..."

Hehehehe...but as a woman I must say I do a damn good Roger Taylor (Queen's
drummer)...I even scare myself sometimes!

I have on occasion slipped into a little Irving Cohen & Lin Yi Tang.
Hardly 2 days go by that I don't do a Count Floyd catchphrase.

Depending on the situation, I'll slip into a little Dr Tongue.

But can you do the scream at the beginning of "In The Lap of the Gods?"

All I can do (or tried to do) are 3 of the 4 panelists from What's My
Shoesize? It's just too hard for me to do Arlene Franklin. Sorry. I'm
still working on doing the Dali pop; haven't gotten it down yet.

I like doing Dr. Tongue because at times he can be so "diffuse."

Aside from Bob and Doug, I usually do Count Floyd whenever I pass a cemetery to
annoy the other people in the car. "AWWOOO!!!! Heh heh! OO! That cemetery looks
just like the last one we passed! I think it's moving! That's right! The dead
people are getting out of their coffins and moving all the headstones and stuff!
It's the Moving Cemetery!!!!"

I enjoy doing that song Jackie Rogers always sings....."She loves me, but to
my amazement..."

I also do Woody Tobias Jr.

I like doing Dr. Tongue. When I'm about to successfully finish a
homeowner task, I'll laugh with delight and mutter, "They laughed at
me in Prague. They laughed at me in Budapest ..."

I also enjoy putting on my serious face to say, ".. and I'm Earl
Camembert."

You know, at one time or another, I've done most characters, but the ones that
I still do now years later are Merv Griffith, occassionally Candy's William B
Williams laugh, and Martin saying "It's like a boil" from On the Waterrfont
again.

I do Irving Cohen from time to time, and Ed Grimley.

Ahhh, but of course! I even got a standing ovation when Crystal and I did
Kareoke a few years ago and we were singing Bohemian Rhapsody. I was Rog of
course and when it came to the part "...for meeeeeee..." I hit that note and
everyone began to clap and cheer.

Will hopefully get a vid of me doing this impression on our site soon...not a
bad idea...

There's a few that I've forgotten about I'm sure, but I do a fairly decent Ed
Grimley. In fact, I went as him for hallowe'en when I was a teenager and the
show was still running. I still can't get over how many STUPID, STUPID (I don't
think that's enough 'stupids', but you get the idea) people thought I was
pee-wee herman (them's fightin' words!). Needless to say I corrected and chided
them at the same time! :)

I'll e-mail my parents and see if they can dig up the pic and send me a scan if
anyone's interested in a pathetic laugh.

My brother bought me an Ed Grimley Halloween kid's costume for
Christmas - you know, the type in a box with the hard plastic face
mask and the PVC smock with the character's picture (from the cartoon
show) on it.

My other brother and I went as Bob & Doug back in the early '80s,
before most people knew who we were supposed to be, eh. Wish I had a
picture. A friend went as Edith Prickley; I *really* wish I had a
picture of her.

I can, when the situation warrants, pull off a good Johnny LaRue
'hu-hu-hu-huuuu' crying-laugh.

Sounds a lot like my cousin and I when I was still "back home". We were about the only
two around that actually knew about SCTV. Being from the Great White North, it's actually
a little pathetic and sad when I think about people being that out of touch.

HA HA HA!!!! That one is too funny!

And then when they cut back to Dick Cavett and he says something like, "...that
poor girl looked frightened"

I guess you'd call that a slip of the tongue?

Really! I mean, all that work completing a thesis, and he winds up
organizing "Unca Bee-yol's" sock drawer and cutting the crusts off Mrs.
Beasley's PB&J sammiches?
