AFTER-PUB: Halloween Edition - AN AMERICAN SASQUATCH IN LONDON



This coming Saturday is Halloween! C2 is celebrating all this week, by introducing after-pub posts with a fun, scary Halloween classic!

Every year, the Simpsons do a special Halloween episode known as the “Treehouse of Horror”. Most are classics, but one of the best is Treehouse of Horror V, where they parodied The Shining, Crime and Punishment and Soylent Green.

  59. WA State's gov. Christine Gregoire is all over the news saying it's not my fault Boeing is setting up an assembly line in SC. I think the behavior is genetic.

  77. Jorline -- thanks for that. Klinger did an admirable job replacing Radar, as a character on MASH (too much trouble to find the asterisk three times)... That doesn't happen often...

    Damn shame the series went all "Alan Alda"...

    ReplyDelete
  78. I am praying for a miracle on Tuesday ... I would love to see Corzine go down in NJ ... would make my day ...

    Yes! Me too. And McDonnell in Virginia. It'd be enough to really energize some serious turn-around for '10. Begin the momentum in a serious way, cause you know it's coming ...

    ReplyDelete
  79. CtheP ... you are exactly right about that ... I liked it better when they focused on more of the others characters ...

  88. Can we question their patriotism yet?

    'Desecrated flag' video is DNC finalist

    One of the 20 finalists in health care video contest run by Barack Obama’s campaign arm features a mural of an America flag splattered with health care graffiti until it’s covered completely by black paint.

  91. Jorline ... sorry to hear that ... mine is fixed now ... replaced two motors and fans ... but working great now ... I have been picking up some things on craigslist cheap ... seems there are many people selling stuff now as many small businesses going out of business ... if you have some extra cash you can pick up some things ... sad but people needing some money now ... not sure what part of they are going to kill small business they don't understand ...

    Really makes me mad that people who have never run a business try to tell people who do run small business what to do ...

  94. Loflyer's question earlier ....Republican vs conservative. There's an interesting article -- and real world situation -- playing out in that NY 23 district race with Hoffman. The Dems don't quite know what to make of it. Neither, I think, does the RNC. Here's the article in the WSJ.

  108. An elderly gentleman.... Had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%
    The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, 'Your hearing is perfect.. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.' The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet.

    I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!'

  109. Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
    A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
    A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'
    Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''

    The doctor said, 'I didn't say that.. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'

  110. A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
    The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'

    I have lived in a NY 'burb for nearly 50 years...and yes, Boston is a joy..small and convenient in comparison to NYC, but also with so much of our history.

    As for Neil Diamond, NY Grampa is from Brooklyn, as is Neil Diamond, and a friend in Ottawa adores him...she is like a groupie in her 60's!
