<p>By the way, also a yuppie in love with funny guys. Bill Murray, Dan, anybody…although I do draw the line at Jerry Seinfeld. I think he is funny but he just doesn’t do it for me…</p>
<p>Ahahahahaha.</p>
<p>I was in love with Dan Ackroyd because a) he was so funny b) he was tall and I thought he was cute.</p>
<p>Why did I think he was cute? Oh the mysteries of the human organism. I have no idea…</p>
<p>And I saw Dan Ackroyd and Donna Dixon and their two very cute daughters once. I was at the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur. They were just dropping by. I did not disturb their family idyll by running up and telling Mr. A that my heart used to beat fast for him. Plus, ironic given some other threads around here, he had gotten rather portly.</p>
<p>But, I bet, were I to meet him today and he were still that funny, if he is as nice as he is funny I might still have a crush on him. Portly or not. SBmom, you WOULD know him:).</p>
<p>And, while I wish I had a lot in common with Donna Dixon, all I can think of is that we both dye our hair blonde. Would that I were also elegant, eloquent, composed, and brilliant. But hey, this is cyber-reality so I can be Donna Dixon AND ALSO EEC&B, right? Wait, just searched and found this photo. Nah. Not Donna Dixon…[Donna</a> Dixon Photos](<a href=“Latest Stills - IMDb”>Latest Stills - IMDb)</p>
<p>Drinks for ebees son all around on me and Mr. Ackroyd:).</p>
<p>ebee,
Congratulations to your son for his internship! Cheers!</p>
<p>ebee, congrats to your son!</p>
<p>Favorite Ackroyd character was E. Buzz Miller </p>
<p>In the spirit of Bass-O-Matic, how about SNL’s…</p>
<p>“New Shimmer. It’s a floor wax. It’s a desert topping. It’s both!”</p>
<p>As one of the young 'uns here, how about props to the next gen of SNL:</p>
<p>Dana Carvey’s Church Lady</p>
<p>Eddie Murphy’s Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>Mike Myers’ Coffee Talk with Linda Richman (“I’m Verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.”)</p>
<p>…Party on Wayne…</p>
<p>I loved Wayne’s World.</p>
<p>I also had a crush on Mike Murphy.</p>
<p>Starting to see a rather sad pattern here?</p>
<p>I am seeing the way to Alumother’s heart – through her funnybone.</p>
<p>I actually thought one of the most hilarious bits was Martin Short’s long-cigarette-ash, ultra-nervous ‘60 minutes’ interviewee… “What, do you think I said that? I didn’t say that. I’d never say that…”</p>
<p>"Quien es mas macho? Senor Fernando Lamas o senor Ricardo Montalban? </p>
<p>y </p>
<p>Dark and lonely on a Summer’s night. Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord. The watchdog barking, do he bite? Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.
c-i-l-l kill. My landlord. circa 1982, T. Green, Prison Poet</p>
<p>Props to the next generation of SNL, most assuredly.</p>
<p>Linda Richman and Coffee Talk = like a return to the neighborhood of my childhood. Even though I can’t think of a single mom or aunt who was actually just like her, somehow she is them.</p>
<p>Dana Carvey, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers - they almost seem like Generation 1 to me.</p>
<p>“then his house I start to wreck,
got no reason, what the heck!
kill my landlord, kill my landlord,
C-I-L-L my landlord.”</p>
<p>Classic.</p>
<p>curmudgeon/m& s YES!!!</p>
<p>soooooooo funny.</p>
<p>Eddie Murphy with the brothel on a matchbook?</p>
<p>Screaming with laughter in my younger days.</p>
<p>My childhood dentist, and good family friend since the mid 50’s, would sometimes leave us a bottle of booze. The tax stamp seal would always be broken. We are not big drinkers and a bottle will last a year or more. A few years ago when he invited us to his house, he was pouring a Potter’s into a bottle of Black Label. …
He said, “Everyone reads the label, very few can tell the difference. The only real experts are the alcoholics.”</p>
<p>Sorry guys, I think the funniest SNL was Adam Sandler’s lunch lady. Thisoldman, hmm…I’d prefer to think I have a good palate :)</p>
<p>So now that you know what I was going to put into the empties; You’d like to know the uses for the bottles of Rothschild.</p>
<p>First: A toast to Wesley Sullivan, of my parents generation, friend of the dentist mentioned above, someone who flew B24’s in WW2, and for many years, someone who I had morning coffee.

<p>Second: to my invalid FIL, who also is a veteran, who jumped out of airplanes, swam oceans to rescue downed combatants, and foreign service representative with my MIL. </p>
<p>Third: To my old dentist and his wife mentioned above, both WW2 veterans. His wife was a army nurse, D-Day. On Nov 12, Veterans Day, they were in Washington DC for the commemoration of Veterans. </p>
<p>I don’t think any of the above will recognize the difference between Cold Duck and real champaign. </p>
<p>Fourth: I have to figure out how to post it first. You’re just gonna have to wait.</p>
<p>Vivid imagination lets me hope that a REALLY, REALLY, BIG Bottle of Dom P. or many bottles from the Virtual People of Sinner’s Alley, can help me launch this puppy. It blocks the view. </p>

<p>I took a very nice picture yesterday, but I haven’t figured out how to post it. So this will have to do.</p>
<p>Dana Carvey’s “Church lady” … c’mon you know it was funny when she gave Madonna a lecture on her less than ladylike stage show…</p>
<p>also loved Mike Myers as the British kid, Simon…he was always in the bathtub afraid you were taking a peek at his ‘naughty bits’.</p>
<p>Who could forget the Sweeney sisters?</p>
<p>Every medley included a dollop of “doodleoodleoodleooo,” then slowed down for something intense and narrated, and then they all concluded with “clang clang clang went the trolley…”</p>
<p>“Welcome to Sprockets, I am your host Dieter”</p>
<p>“We are Hans and Franz and we are here to ‘Pump You Up’”</p>
<p>…And a special “Miss You” to Gilda, John Belushi, Chris Farley and Phil Hartman.</p>
