Oh noes! Not homophobia and racism!?

Quick, run around in circles!

“I'm going to blow up some stuff in his honor.”

LOL!

My friends and I went to see him at the Token Lounge, and the Redford Theater back in 2017. Excellent Time.

I watch Svenghoole on MeTV, but it ain't even close. Parma!!

NOT EVEN CLOSE! BTW, father's day is coming up and hopefully his website has some Froggy merchandise or something.

Okay, some history:
My mom and dad were on a bowling league in the late 70's and I was like 12-13 years old. I had to stay up late and babysit my siblings, so Saturday night was Ghoul night. When The Ghoul showed Night Of The Living Dead, it was like 2 in the morning and absolutely scared the crap out of me. Psychomania was awesome too.

Also, The Ghoul's preoccupation with large exploding fireworks and Cheese Wiz led to a lifetime obsession to this day.

I missed him at the Token because I had to work that night. Dammit. How was the show?

Check out his website. TheGhoul.com 👍

LOL. The self-importance on display does set off my gag reflex.

[Worst pizza I ever ate was at Shakeys in Tokyo.

The on in Rome was a close runner up!]

Assuming you’re referring to airport food, I can’t really complain. Airport concessions come at a high cost, but are oligopolies catering to a captive audience, which means for concession holders, they’re a license to rape and pillage. Shakeys wasn’t great but it wasn’t the worst airport food I’ve had the displeasure to consume. What’s bad is that it’s worse-tasting than its non-airport counterpart from the same franchise *and* costs more. The worst Popeye’s I’ve ever had was at an airport. Ditto for just about every franchise operation I’ve ever frequented.

Having said that, even bad pizza is, well, pizza. It’s basically a bread dough, tomato sauce, Italian spice mix and cheese baked in an oven. Hard to really screw that up. Even bad Shakey’s isn’t all that bad. But it’s probably an indication of how far it’s strayed from what we consider pizza that close to 90% of its outlets are located overseas:

Having said that, even bad pizza is, well, pizza.

Next I stood in line half an hour to see what Marxism could do to street-vendor pizza. It did not disappoint. The word cottony is sometimes used to describe bad pizza dough, but there is every reason to believe this pizza was really made of the stuff, or maybe a polyester blend.

The slice-- more accurately, lump-- had no tomato whatsoever and was covered in a semiviscous imitation mozzarella, remarkably un-chese-like even for a coal-tar by-product. Then there was the sausage topping. One bite brought a flood of nostalgia. Nobody who's been through a fraternity initiation will ever forget this taste, this smell. It was dog food.

Old you say?

“Plunk your magic twanger froggy!”

Old enough to have seen Andy Devine say that on Saturday mornings.

I’m old enough to have heard it on the radio, and I’m old enough that I don’t remember who said it every week. I don’t remember what the show was about, but Plunk your magic twanger Froggy was certainly unforgetable.I do remember Andy Devine, large and and a voice never to be forgotten. Except that I may have forgotten.

Speaking of age, our arrival dates at FR in the class of ‘98 are pretty dang close.

The mystery for me is how you SAW Andy Devine say it on Saturday mornings, unless you were in the audience or on the show. Hopefully the mystery will be solved.

The Andy Devine Show was part of the Saturday morning lineup on D.C. television during the early 50’s.

Homosexuality used to be the love that dared not speak its name.

Now it’s the love that won’t shut the **** up.
