Very good, flower! You is mucho creative, girl!

(are you the one who said the work comrades are a bit dim???)

.....OMG, flower! This is so cool! And maybe your finest hour!

Witty and funny!

Mwah!

Very clever!

Anyone up for a fun party (rehash)?

Here's a link to the recent one we had in April ~~ like Dry says on there somewhere "tres funny" ~~ I do still feel a bit sorry for poor lizzietish, though, who started the thread in all good faith, I bet.

The thread got 92 posts!

Enjoy!

http://blogs.amctv.com/mad-men/talk/2009/04/mad-men-season-4.php

Oh, thanks everybody and SCfan for the party re-hash. There was some GOOD material there. We should publish all this into a book!

Yes, flower, that was a classic thread. I think we all just got going and couldn't stop! ha

Another one is the FUNNY JOKES thread waaaay back there in Feb....not because I posted it, but because everyone's contributions are so good.

One that stands out is the "SEX AND CALORIES/SEX WITH HAROLD" post waaaay on down on the page from zerelda, I believe.....side-splitting and that's no lie!

I printed it out and look it over when I want a sure-fire laugh.

Thanks again, z!

and lizzietish was never heard from again.....would be feeling a might remorseful over that if I did not suspect her of being one of "those" posters discussed on other threads.....

well, z....there's even some "original material" (that's a hint about a poster we do not speak of) on that thread that is very very funny....

funny is funny, I must say....oh what innocents we were then, huh?

Very creative, flowerpower--- You're smitten. As am I. Brava!

.....That was such a funny thread! Drink&Smoke was in particularly good form.

There have been MANY great threads over the past few months!

You guys are great fun......

You're funny, smart and great!

.....Sniff.....You two have made me so proud.....

You are not only using your brains, you are blowing me away!!

Bwahhhhaaahaaa.....They grow up so fast.....(sob!)

(Heee!)

Thanks, Mom!

Can we please have some Grape Kool Aid as a reward??

; - ]

.....OF COURSE!

And paper-wrapped chicken,

And, Beanie-Weanies,

And "Fiddle-Faddles," too.

And peanut marshmallows.

Or Candy corn.

Or Bit-O-Honey....

Or Abba Zabba

Or Almond JOYS

etcetera, etcetera,etcetera.....

and some of those little candy buttons that come on the strips of white-wax paper???

and some candy necklaces?

and some candy cigarettes, for Dry?

he does love them so.....

I meant for Drink.....but Dry probably loves them, too....

???

And wax lips and little wax soda bottles with God-knows-what liquid in them and straws filled with colored sugar. Which brings back another memory; did anyone else eat jello dry, straight from the box? I think it was a cheap sugar high back in the day.

"DON'T drink the koolaid" - That's my personal and professional motto.

Now maybe I am halluciating but I really thought I saw January Jones on Law and Order this week- It was called Quit Claim and she played a villaness. Sounded like her, same mamnerisms but seemed a lot younger.

Obviously I can't spell 'Villianess" and "mannerisms." Too much mango tequila.

Yep, Mambo, I did try the strawberry type of jello straight from the box in my youth....I decided the dextrose crap in the straws was better....plus you got to the point of bouncing off the walls quicker with that pure sugar fix!

flower...that "DON'T drink the kookaid" was a caption in a very funny Mad Magazine "ad" once....remember it?

WAX LIPS WAX LIPS WAX LIPS!!!!!

YAY!!!

also loved Banana Bikes toffee crap....yum

Oh God...Bit-O-Honey......yum....

anyone remember the long thin sheets of striped taffy wrapped in wax paper....memories....

Charms suckers, Atomic Fireballs....owwwww..

.....I'm convinced all those things were magically delicious due to the high number of harmful chemicals contained in them!

Mmmmm.....memories!

flower.....Me too.....(about the Kool-Aid).

.....Gasp!

How did THAT get there????

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuTiTfbfy7Q

Banana bikes, yummm. I loved anything banana flavored. Remember Banana Flips?

Dry, what product used that phrase "they're magically delicious" in its advertising? It's stirring some dim memory, but I guess I consumed too many chemicals, I can't quite remember what it was.

.....Wasn't it Lucky Charms?

Something about the little marshmallow charms - diamonds, hearts, stars and moons, I think.....

I was a Cap'n Crunch kid, though, but did wonder how they got the charm marshmallows so crispy....not like marshmallows at all.

Dry...now I guess they'd be called "The Rolling Coots" maybe? Kinda like "The Beach Geezers"

lol

.....Did you make that up? Because that was funny.....

I bet you could come up with a bunch of funny ones.....

"The Broken Hipsters"? Maybe not.

Hey, flower, looks like you are in line to win something for posting this thread! Congratulations. I hope you get that neat pen....unless you want the poster.

How do you remember all those threads, SCfan? I'll have to admit, that thread had me going Dry. Yeah, candy cigarettes, bubble gum cigars and wax rootbeer bottles. It didn't get any better than that, did it? Cheers.

I'll try, Dry...let's see...??? oh well, maybe later....

I have a theory of how Mick Jagger will die...

He'll be strutting (well sorta) along behind his walker during a 2024 show of their "Move and Groove" Worldwide Tour (sponsored by Sunsweet 'Dried Plums') -- and won't realize he's coming dangerously close to the edge of the stage....he'll do one of his high kicks he's so famous for -- and off the edge he'll go....

Of course, Keith Richards will live to be 95....one of the strange unexplainable ironies of this life....

What's that old joke, Keith Richards will die, but they'll have to beat his liver to death with a stick.

Mambo....HEEEEEEE!

I'm sure many have already read this but, it's worth a read if you haven't:

From AARP Magazine, Sept. Oct. 2008 Issue, Page 49:

"50 Reasons to Love Being 50+"

#14 Because if Keith Richards can make it into his 60's, there's hope for all of us

1965 Knocked out by electric shock onstage after whacking microphone with guitar

1969 Wrecks his 19-foot Nazi staff car, gets it repaired, then wrecks it down embackment

1973 (Or maybe it was '74...) Falls asleep and crashes into speaker, breaking nose

1974 Falls asleep mid-sentence during live television interview

1980 Declares in interview, "I've been drunk for 27 years."

1981 Doesn't recognize title of new Stones album:
"What's this "Tatoo You?"

1998 While reaching for book in home library, gets pummeled by avalance of texts. Suffers three broken ribs and punctured lung

2006 Falls out of coconut tree in Fiji

2007 Claims he snorted Dad's ashes (later denies snorting Dad's ashes)

2008 Gives key to his longevity: "I'm doomed to live"

-----Alex Kizer

.....My theory is that Mick and Keith died a long time ago, only to be reanimated indefinitely by a voodoo priestess.

The tree one is the one that got me. What the hell??

I'm with you, Dry...WTF? Did he ride the back of a monkey to get up the coconut tree and lost his balance? Or did he get desperate when he ran out of coconut milk for his Pina Coladas? You make the call....Cheers.

.....A drunken, drug-addled excursion destination.

.....flower.....Looks like you were right.....imdb shows January on Law and Order.....good call.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031361/

I saw her photo years ago in a magazine, when her hair was long, and a darker ash color. She had almost no makeup on, and I remember thinking she looked very patrician, and that I would see her down the road in a period piece.

I never dreamed it would be the sixties, but am thrilled that it is, since it's pretty much my favorite era.

SCfan.....thanks for the correction. For a second there, I thought you were calling me a man again!

Wow! My hallucination re January Jones in Law and Order wasn't a hallucination after all.??. ..does that mean reality and fantasy have finally blended? And if so, only in my mind or in everybody's??

Yeah, I did see I won something, along with many of my Maddict friends. Last time I won something from writing it was $20 for 40 words about my hamster's love life, but hey, I was published in the National Enquirer. (And they say a liberal arts degree has no application in real life...)

...I'm still trying to picture Keith Richards riding a monkey's back to the top of a coconut tree!

Ha, Drink!!

...wonder how long he was buried under his books before someone found him?

Keith Richards reads???????????

.....flower.....Don't ask me, I'm busy watching my hand.

"hamster's love life....." I'm rolling! You pimped out your hamster!

Ha!, Mambo!

...well, maybe he was going to use it (that book) as a coaster....

Hamster Love.....how original, flower!

Believe me, you don't have to pimp out a hamster. They make Don Draper look like a monk.

.....Mambo.....funny!

worse than rabbits, huh, flower?
