I *heart* tj.

The Bear apparently is holding out for a percentage of the box office and creative control. Freakin primadonna.

Yeah, but I know jpoulos shares my excitement over another pending comeback.

Pete!

Well, BJ's been busy too

Ah, much better.

Maybe the lack of a reunion might have something to do with this?:

For me, my childhood was shared with "Bear". His real name was Sammy. My father was the owner/trainer of Sammy...Unfortunately, he died at an early age. I recall it being a kidney problem (failure) or something.

Here comes trouble...

grrrrrr....

jpoulos is receptive too, if Rose will admit what he did.

.....

Hey! look at that picture of BJ and the Bear! The "S" on the Bear's tshirt is backwards! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

HAHAHA!

HA!

*sigh*

Monkeys. Is there nothing they won't do to make us laugh?

remember seeing this show and saying "Where's the bear?" Then somebody told me that the chimp's name was Bear. Then I thought "Well that's just ridiculous! Who would name their pet chimp Bear?"

The. Worst. TV show. Ever.

It's hard when you haven't been here for a while.

At first, you want to say: 'you have tv in portu-whatever' but then you realize that those jokes might be passe. Are they?

Boy this thread is
bearing towards being
bearly
bearable. Must be the
bearevement of

Bear...

That bothered the hell outta me when I was a kid. But I didn't understand why it bothered me. But I knew something wuz just wrong.

He's a chimp. But his name's 'bear.'

Thanks for finally clearing that up for me, TCS.

This is the first I've known that it wasn't an actual bear on the show.

Your cultural illiteracy scares me.

Hey, I can't help it if your precious BJ and the Bear wasn't good enough to make it over to England.

this is the first I knew that there weren't actual B.J.s on the show.

England, Shmengland...

only America could produce things as sublime as these.

I ♥ tizzie.

Semi-related: Why hasn't Any Which Way But Loose gotten the credit it deserves for being the finest simian comedy in the history of filmdom? I blame Eastwood for using his power as a Hollywood star and former smalltown mayor to systematically expunge the film from our collective consciousness.

Possibly because it was actually called Every Which Way But Loose.

right turn Clyde

The sequel was Any Which Way You Can. I was, um, using poetic license to refer to both flix at once. Yeah, that's it.

Also, please bite me. :-)

*bites lupo*
(but it's a love bite)

*begins videotaping*

The army of Mefi/9622 lurkers will pay afortune for this. It's Pam & Tommy all over again...!!

*begins videotaping*

The army of Mefi/9622 lurkers will pay afortune for this. It's Pam & Tommy all over again...!!

which is why I made two copies..

Tommy? Feh. Let's just say I make Tommy Lee look like Tommy Wee.

Oh dear. Did I say that out loud?

sadly, yes. yes you did

The army ........ pay afortune for this. It's Pam & Tommy

They just settled their suit seemed like pennies, that they were paid $740,000 each yet they may need it. But what did the lawyers get??

But what did the lawyers get??

All together now, and help me out here, boys -

Not nearly enough for all the work that we do!

I agree 100%!

Not nearly enough for all the work that we do!

Remind me to avoid lawyer jokes here, yhbc.

Fact: there are no lawyer jokes here. It would be inconceivable. People look up to them, because they study so hard and stick up for people against the mighty state. Also because half of them become judges, unconditionally revered.

Heh, I meant "here" in Portugal. Imagine someone new to 9622 thinking I was referring to "here on 9622"!

* "We'll have no lawyer jokes here!" in a League of Gentleman, local shop accent*

I agree 100%!

My apoligies, if that seemed snarky, it was not suppose to have come off that way to the lawyers. I'm sure that Pam's and Tommy's lawyers are more respectable citzen than them two ever could try to be.

The amount of cash they recieved just seemed low to me, unless I haven't factored in that no one cares about them two, other then them two boobs.

Please excuse me, I'm very busy at work and only able to check in with the monkey at 9622net for a few seconds at a time.

My apoligies, if that seemed snarky...

Nope, didn't seem snarky. You should hear my lawyer jokes. Did ya hear the one about the... um... nevermind...

fuck that.

you know the type of lawyers of which we speak. We're not talking about good, keeping members of 9622 out of jail type lawyers. we're talking snivelling little bambalance chasers just trying to drum up suits line their pocketses.

they must perish

pfft. fricking lawyers are responsible for the downfall of society.

Here's a couple good lawyer jokes:

Q: What do lawyers and sperm have in common?
A: One in 50,000,000 has a chance of becoming a human being.

Q: Why does California have the most lawyers and New Jersey the most toxic waste dumps?
A: New Jersey had first pick.

Q: What's the difference between a Catfish and a lawyer?
A: One is a scum sucking bottom dweller, and the other is a fish.

Every time I see the title of this thread I get the song "Big Time" from Peter Gabriel stuck in my head.

Hi there!
I'm on my way, I'm making it, etc.

At least it's a song I like.

Funny it makes me think of Freddie "Boom-Boom" Washington, from Welcome Back Kotter.

While we're on the subject of TV...does anyone else remember that weird yet oddly comforting program "The Magic Garden" with the acoustic-guitar-toting crypto-lesbian hosts and the giggling puppet flowers? That was some strange stuff in retrospect...

I hope those jokes are a joke. Maybe a little harsh there pardon, eh? BTW, "ambulance chasing" gets you disbarred. Okay...I'm done taking it personally. @-)

I've had enough of that crypto-lesbianism. I like my lesbianism straight. Um, yeah....right.

I like my liquor like my lesbians: straight.

why would you take it personally? you realize you're gonna be hearing this kinda stuff as long as that's your chosen profession right?

that's kind of like a clown being pissed off that no one takes him seriously.

Of course I realize it tj. I'm not a complete idiot. It just seemed unduly harsh for a moment. I am not a pissed off clown damn it!

anathema, I was trying to be funny, not harsh. I may very well have failed miserably.

There are a lot lawyers who are very good people. Just based on what I know from this site I consider yhbc and yourself (as a lawyer-to-be) to fall in that category. There are also, imho, a disproportionate number of assholes. I've found that the more offended a lawyer is about lawyer jokes, the more likely he or she falls in the latter category.

OK, enough with the lawyer talk. Let's get back to lesbians and giggling flowers...

Of course I realize it tj. I'm not a complete idiot.

well, you are a lawyer in training....

couldn't resist

Yeah. I agree with jon. Sorry monkeys, I may be overtired and burnt from being in the middle of finals. I'm gonna disappear for a while. Carry on with the lesbian flower pots.

hey, come back here!

I'm not done poking you with a stick yet!!!!!!

I'm sure everyone would like to discuss lawyers, or at least "Lawyers in Love". That's a good displacement strategy actually: Every time you want to say something nasty about lawyers, just say something nasty about Jackson Brown instead.

Kafka, that's the worst idea I've ever heard of.

Except for when Jackson Browne told me he was going to start making records.

Of course I ......I'm not a complete idiot....damn it!

Thanks anathema for your understanding, as I felt like an idiot when I opened up this thread and saw my remark pointed out. Also I would rather be boob over a clown :P

"Lesbian Lawyers in Love" - next on Montel.

...be a boob...

as I'm sure bob is a commone clown name

Bob is in fact a common clown name.

Scientists have theorized (in what is generally recognized as the Universal Bobclown Theory) that people named Bob have a 37% chance of a descent into clowning.

This is, of course, second only to people named Bobo, Blackie or Clowny.

Or Fuckface. That's a popular one too.

But do evil clowns follow the Bob theory as well? Or are Bobs generally the good clowns, while Clement, Krusty or Estes Kefauver go to the dark side?

Don't forget Thierry, who gets to be the sad clown that's mute in French.

"Lesbian Lawyers in Love" - next on Montel.
Amanda Donohoe in LA Law?

Bobs are definitely subject to the siren call of evil. I picture them wiping off the pancake white, crying into the mirror, while the screams of the innocent slowly fade into a whimper from the crawlspace.

Not to be, you know, creepy or anything.

What about Robs?

Am I gonna hafta go to Honululu and douse RTEMT in holy water?

Who's Rob?

Is he one of those paramedics that shows up with giant shoes and a squirting bow-tie? There's really not enough of them.

Jonmc's imaginary friend, Rob the EMT.

*kidding, jon*

Oh, would you two just do it and get it over with?

which two?

Why jonmc & RTEMT, of course!

But you can make it mean whatever you want it to, tj.

He's not imaginary and I'm not gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Either one.

Some of my best imaginary freinds are gay.

I mean, c'mon, would anyone but a hetero male dress this way?

I mean, c'mon, would anyone but a hetero male dress this way?

Maybe, but they'd be drinking a Zima with an apple jolly rancher dropped in it.

Actually, I've always imagined that the lawyers of 9622 are almost Clarence Darrow-like in their goodwill toward their fellow men (and women). No, it's all the English majors who are the pustulent buboes on the fat left cheek of humanity!

Maybe, but they'd be drinking a Zima

I've always wondered--just who's bladder was Zima run through before bottling?

would anyone but a hetero male dress this way?

I read something the other day which said that "grunge is coming back" and the first thing I though of was the fortune jonmc could make in used flannel if it did.

Can the pendulum swing so quickly now? I mean, how can "grunge" be coming back when we just got rid of it? Is it like the flu? It comes around once, and then after a few years of dormancy it comes back as a more virulent strain? I thought the bad bi-level haircuts from the 80's coming back were too quick, but the 90's too? Aren't half those bands still around? And does that mean that long flowing dude-hair, a la Eddie Cheddar, is going to come back? Cause if it does, I give up and am never going outside again.

Although I am very pro-flannel. And big baggy military shorts with Docs are so cute (I think that's the uniform I met my husband in, me in Docs, him in Chuck's--it was love at first sight).

Can the pendulum swing so quickly now?

Something to do with time speeding up as the apocalypse approaches, I think. Anyway, I filed the return of grunge with that week's terrorist warning--possible, not very likely, but still unpleasant for anyone caught in the middle of it.

Since this is the random "Hi there" thread, I will announce the fabulous Scandinavian Airlines advent calendar. 250 bucks roundtrip from three destinations to Europe, all month, a different destination each day. That's right, kids. The hubs and I are goin' to Madrid.

Today is Geneva. Tomorrow....who knows?

where can you fly out of?

Newark, Chicago, Seattle

excuse me...was it

left turn clyde...or right turn clyde...

because the "ape" (i know count the ribs)

signaled with a straight arm...
