Giles ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I didn't even know that there was such a person as Nipsey Russell when I first heard that.
I almost asphyxiated with laughter when I found out that Nipsey Russell was a real person. And I was with people who didn't know the misheard lyric, and I kept trying to explain, but I was laughing too hard. I think they started watching my alcohol intake after that.
"Whoa, Nipsy Russel" gave me a true COMM moment (well coffee on my keyboard).
Whoa, Nipsy Russel
Without wings, without wheels
Love the misheard lyrics. "All the boys think she's a spy, she's got thirty days of life."
And Nipsey Russell all by himself is COMEDY GOLD.
Dude, Nipsy Russell in The Wiz singing "Slide some oil to me" was a great moment in history in Casa kat. That was one funktastic movie. I need to see that again.
Nipsey Russell is eternally linked with "Match Game," Gene Rayburn, and Brett Somers in my head. Also, for some reason, Rodney Allen Rippy (possibly the similiarity of "Nipsey" and "Rippy", as well as the fact that they are both 1970s icons).

Also Charles Nelson Reilly.
And pre-Family Feud/post-Hogan's Heroes Richard Dawson.
Charles Nelson Reilly makes me think of Paul Lynde on Hollywood Squares. And I always think of Paul Lynde on Hollywood Squares answeing a question with "Balaaaaam's aaaasssss."
Match Game was such a dirty little game show. When I catch it every now and again on GSN, I cannot believe how it courted the smarm. Smart, funny smarm, but smarm nonetheless.
And funktastic 70's music. I'm just gonna keep saying funktastic all day because now it's stuck in my head. Funktastic, funktastic. This will make for an interesting meeting in about 15 minutes.
Kristin, backflung.
Now I'm saying funktastic too, kat. And I'm humming Maceo Parker. Thanks!
