4. Well
Vanilla went to the same discount bin the marcarena did. Charo is doing commercials and the rat guys are now writing for the gilmore girls. And Elvis? He is over here at least every other sunday for bacon peanut butter sandwiches. He mows the lawn on occasion. :)The rest of your questions are going to belong to the ages. :)

5. Larry 'Bud' Melman
Calvert DeForest (born July 23, 1921 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American actor and comedian.

A veteran stage actor, DeForest is best known for his work as "Larry 'Bud' Melman" on Late Night with David Letterman. He appeared under his own name, but as essentially the same character, when Letterman moved from NBC to CBS in 1993 to do The Late Show with David Letterman. This change was made because the character of "Larry 'Bud' Melman" was considered the intellectual property of NBC, even though David Letterman gave him the name. He continued to appear on Letterman's show until the early 2000s, when he decided to retire from acting.

Whew! I thought he was dead! :bounce:

13. those commercials crack me up!
I usually hate ads, but she's so enthusiastic and doing her purring, rolling rrrrrrr's that I can't help but smile.

And yes, I'd love to look that good when I'm 65.

17. Burt Bacharach: "I hope I don't get hit in the rear...
...anymore..."

It's a real catchy tune!

11. The sensible shoes are all in my closet. I refuse to buy those pointy-toed
piece-of-pizza-shaped things that pass for women's shoes these days...who ever saw a foot shaped like that????And why would you want your feet to appear 8 inches longer than they really are??

Those things are BUTT UGLY.

19. Especially...

I have arthritis in my feet-- just looking at those things gives me hives. :scared:

32. he got hungry
a couple years ago there was a pizza commercial for Pizza the Hut or Dominos where they were giving away DVDs. And the delivery guy is telling this person about it. A person who happens to be Martin Mull. And the delivery guy says "and Mr. Mom with Martin Mull. Whatever happened to that guy?" Martin says "He got hungry" and takes the pizza.

He used to be a regular on Hollywood Squares too, but I haven't watched that for a couple of years since they changed the format. Plus I found Simpson's re-runs on Channel 38 to fill the void between 6;30 and 7:00. Too bad there's hardly ever anything on at 7 either, unless you like "reality" shows.

15. Watch VH1
If it isn't mentioned on "I Love the 70's, 80's, 90's" or if they are not seen on a season of the surreal life I don't know where you could look!

20. HOW DARE YOU INCLUDE STRING THEORY IN THAT LIST?
Edited on Wed Aug-02-06 05:33 AM by Random_Australian
:grr:

I'll have you know that String was assimilated into M, the current leading one!

I challenge you to a duel to protect the honour of String!

If you accept, we argue whether or not we have free will, and I bagsies the 'we do' option!

Choose your weapons, fool!

:D ;) :P

Never bring a string to an anti matter fight.

28. A string walks into a bar...
The bartender says, "Hey, beat it! We don't serve strings here."

"So?" asks the string.

"Well, you're a string!" says the bartender. "Look at you!"

The string ties himself at one end ruffles up his hair.

"I'm a frayed knot!"
