That reminds me of a bachelor party the bachelorette attendees crashed...we handcuffed the groom to the hot water heater. Needless to say, we were very drunk. We never did find the key.

"Don't forget Idi Amin"

Definitely deserves mention on the worst of the worst list.

Never get the cuffs out before you have the key in an accessible place.

Not when it's all the ship has in the movie locker for almost a month.....for the same reason I grew to hate "The Longest Yard"....when we were finally able to trade "The Longest Yard" to another ship, we got "Truck Turner" in exchange....Isaac Hayes playing a Shaft-type character.....GAAAAAACK!!!!

If you brought her along... you wouldn't be the one handcuffing men to things.

She takes a dominant role in those types of events.

(if you know what I mean)

thag always comes back for more. He keeps coming and coming. I'll spell it that way and pray the mods don't pull it.

"Midnight Special" was initially hosted by Helen Reddy (barf), then I think Wolfman Jack ended up hosting it (boring but not as bad as Helen Reddy). Worst of the series was the night they featured Black Oak Arkansas.

We had just moved to San Francisco a couple of months before the Jim Jones thing. Funny, but both my husband and I felt a sense of impending doom a couple of days before the event. It was extremely weird . Many OK people in SanFran had relatives who'd flipped out and joined Jones so the city went into mourning.

From today's perspective, I agree with you--Jones deserves the lifetime achievement Darwin award.

At about the same time, San Francisco mayor Alioto and councilman Harvey Milk were assassinated in City Hall by Dan White. Di Fi took the microphone and announced their deaths. She was really quite magnificent that day--and went on to become SF mayor and then liberal ahole-ette senator from the formerly great state of CA.

DH and I lucked out and were awarded Alioto's window table at North BEach Restaurant during lunchtimes--I guess because the regular SF frequenters of the joint who'd actually known the mayor didn't want it.
