These old school detectives were badass.
They didn’t hesitate to smack the punks around, either.

Like Foghorn Leghorn in a henhouse on a 3 day Viagra bender. OMG that is funny, CC you need to stand-up, you must be a fan of Don Rickles, only he could weave a thread like that!

Looks like the 3 shifts of ladies who cooked for my early-60s Mt Prospect HS, in Chicago NW Suburbs. Pretty darned good grub except for that Friday Tuna Casserole. They added fish sticks as an option, and I still dont know what those things are.
LOL You brought back some memories. I think fish sticks consist of “parts”. Like Vienna Sausages.

Now they dress that way for fun? ;-) Only while drag racing.

To: DogByte6RER
yes, good for them... but none of them would fool any purse-snatcher (who wasn’t legally blind). These guys need to visit San Francisco to learn how to dress more convincingly like females

That stuff plays in England, but here in the U.S. we dont find it as funny. It kept Milton Berle out the draft, didn't it?

one looks like rudolf hess or maybe alger hiss.. coincidence ;=]

I vaguely remember Jack Lord in a Hawaii 5 0 episode wearing a very flamboyant pink scarf. Was this the part of the same sting?

Loved the old SNL. I quit watching when the original cast left.

I was going to say. We also had Flip Wilson. This was before it was cool to be a transsexual transvestite, and just something to laugh at.

Spam’s the same way; if you don’t think about what’s in it, when you fry it up w/ eggs and hash browns, it ain’t bad at all. Heh.

Hot dogs, sausages, Spam, compressed meats... best not to think about what’s in ‘em; just cook and eat.
