Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Fay, I'm pretty sure there needs to be a sitcom about teaching whiny kids in Bangkok and acting in community theater.

We have fended off Matilda's (out of character) morning grump by playing the video for Gorillaz's "Feel Good, Inc." seven times in a row. Now we've switched to Weird Al's "White and Nerdy."

MM's phone riff is like Bob Newhart crossed with Hunter S. Thompson. Surprisingly fertile territory.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now I'm picturing scientists trying to create a Newhart/Thompson hybrid... the first half-dozen attempts end up as horrible mutations, a la the attempts to clone Ripely in Aliens 3....

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Wow. High praise, dude. I'm very nearly shocked and humbled into speechlessness.

Nearly.

Isn't Newhart, like, the anti-Thompson? So much of Newhart is based on a slightly embarrassed calm niceness, while Thompson... is from a universe that holds none of those words. Including "slightly."

Well pimped!

I could be wrong. You might be - as Tommyrot suggests - a horrible mutation. Or possibly a brilliant mutation.

Hence the humor! Unless you're suggesting they cancel each other out. Though you are probably ignorant of Newhart's breakthrough comedy albums which were all based on one-sided phone conversations.

Well, in a breeding situation. Your point about humor is well-taken, I just think their actual genes couldn't survive in close proximity. Metaphorically. That is, a metaphor which is close to and yet different from yours in its... visualization.

No no, I think my mother had Bob Newhart albums. Also Bill Cosby, I think. Or else I'm getting them mixed up.
