X-Entertainment | Freddy and Jason Spitballs!

Freddy and Jason Spitballs!

Some recent major poll credited The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as being the scurrrriest movie of all time. I guess that's possible under the right light, but...eh. The Exorcist ranked in at #2, and though I'm much more of a Leatherface fan than a pea soup fan, I must admit that I personally find the latter film far scarier. Leatherface and pals...you gotta go into the woods or some shit to get in trouble with them. Satan can attack wherever, whenever. Bleh. New Countdown entry for Monday: Freddy Krueger & Jason Voorhees Spitballs!

Jillybeann, we did Sweatin’ to the Oldies in our high school girls-only class. Our coach would bring the tapes in from her personal home work-out library. No one liked them but she insisted on treating us to Richard Simmons anyways. Coach was a Sweatin’ addict and was still running the tapes into the late 90s.

Thanks devil. damnit im br0ke must get duckets, silly bills tricks are for ummm lotsa folks. okay so far we’ve cored a lot, tha Allison, that Hallmark thing brough back memories! In Ukiah CA, in the mid 80s Kmart was right by a small corner Hallmark shop, i would spend lots of time in the little halloween section, getting ideas, some of their stuff was a little more money, but you could always count on a really good smellling and calm experience, also well lit and not a tornado-y waste’cause the kids are slam dancing throught the halloween isles at Kmart. It’d stay a mess till about an hour before closing and a ton of kids weren’t around, maybe me and another straggler / quiet kid waiting at hallmark for the masses to file out. good times.

Zell Miller. Now there is a freaky guy. Screaming genius!

Anyone ever see the "Hardball" sketches on Update where Will Forte does Miller, and screams "Tsunaaaaaaaaaaami!" And Darrell Hammond as Chris Matthews says "stick around when Zell Miller fist-fights with a tornado!"??? Classic stuff!

holy shit I just saw Koko B. Ware on TV just now with his parrot!!!! There were a whole slew of old schoolers in the front row for the first RAW show on USA since it moved to Spike TV. Now I really haven’t watched WWE since the name change but i’m glad i accidentally saw that.

My birthday is 13 days after Halloween. I wish it was on a Friday and there were 13 Friday the 13th movies so I could make it a ridiculous 13 day event of spooky greatness, but alas, I do not win.

I just realized this and so had to post this here, as this is the place with its finger on the pulse of the spooky seasons.

Oh November 13th, your first three digits make up your last
(1 + 1 + 1 = 3 11/13, for the slow people)…

But yeah, I try to watch the WWE as much as possible as they are bringing back as many old schoolers as possible due to bad ratings.

I’ll take y’all’s Mousercise and I’ll raise you Roomnastics.

Anybody remember Roomnastics? It looked to be about 30 years old when we would occasionally have to watch it in school in the mid-80′s. One of those 15-minute PBS school day shows. Roomnastics involved, as I recall, either marching around your desk or marching in place. Sometimes you would stop and say "R-E-S-T." And there was a tubby Asian boy in ridiculous glasses who looked like he might have been special.

Other 15-minute PBS shows that are stuck in my head:
1) All About You (which was a health-anatomy show hosted by a freakishly anorexic 70s-vest-wearing lady)
2) Safety Frog (kind of speaks for itself)
3) Book, Look, and Listen (which had some sort of terrifying mouse-creature with giant ears and an even scarier thing that I think was a walking movie projector)
4) I can’t remember the name of this one, but it was a writing-skills show about a bug who was a reporter. They had a club called Palabra Jot. (Read All About It?)

5) Mulligan Stew. A bunch of kids have wacky adventures involving the four food groups.

Yeah. I can hardly remember my phone number but I can still sing the theme song for "All About You."

I swear I am not making these up.

Upon reflection, I think I should march to my elementary school and demand my money back. I seem to have spent way too much time being shown low-budget TV shows.

Dude, Phunqsauce, thanks for the link to the pic of Slim G. Almost made me lose my dinner What is interesting is that he is even more disturbing to me now that I’m an adult. I just don’t think it’s necessary to be able to view someone’s colon…

Chestnuts roasted by Jillybeann @ 10/03/2005 9:35 PM

Beyond his visible organs and crooked smile it just might be his Air Supply afro that disturbs me the most….

I don’t remember Roomnastics, but I remember Finders Keepers. Some Nick gameshow from its hayday. >> Buncha kids search through rooms that look like a tornado swept through, trying to find… …stuff, I dunno. It’s been too long.

Needs more Nick Arcade and its contestants who always sucked at videogames. c.c

Chestnuts roasted by ChibiSoma @ 10/03/2005 10:05 PM

Finders Keepers was ridiculous, but Get The Picture always made me happy. Mike O’ Malley so was owned by Nickelodeon in his early career.

Guts made me want to get in shape for like a week once, which is the longest ever.

You’ve probably all seen it but angryalien.com has a 30-second bunny reenactment of TCSM.

I just might have to write some of this up. There seems to be a logical connection in most of our thought processes (I’ve talked with a few other folk today) between Mousercise and Slim Goodbody.

I was rewarded this evening by remembering the following as I sat down to open my email:

Let’s do the bug-a-boo
Come on, shake a leg or two
From the big grasshopper
To the tiny teenybopper
You know what they love to do
BUG-A-BOO !

I ain’t right. I just ain’t.

Chestnuts roasted by Lisa Marie @ 10/03/2005 11:32 PM

But the worst part of that song is the part that goes "bug, bug-a-boo, bug-a-boo-boo-boo. bug, bug-a-boo-boo-boo."

This thread is a production of the SFM Holiday Network.

Are you sure that wasn’t the Bugaloos? We’re in the air and everywheeeeere.

AHHH!!! SFM!!!! Nightmares!!!!!!!! Make it stop!

*Morse code beeping*

GAH!

YARRR! http://www.tinyurl.com!!

I used to play with my spitballs and Madballs together, and make the Madballs get overtaken by the spitballs, since I had not so many Madballs (cheap), but a lot of spitballs (waay cheaper!!).

Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 10/04/2005 5:25 PM

"Texas Chainsaw" at number one?
While,I’ll certainly agree that the movie is damned scary, I wouldn’t vote it number one. My vote would have been the "Evil Dead" series. and also to answer Mr. Boligarky’s question, the afforementioned "Evil Dead" movies wouldn’t fly these days, due to the insane ammounts of blood, dismemberment, women getting raped by trees/vines, and did I metion the blood? (seriously, there’s like a thousand gallons of blood that spray out of holes in the wall) I dunno, people these days are such pussies when it comes to gore, just about any movie made in the wonderfully goretastic 70′s and 80′s that would fly in this age of political correctness. damned shame really. So many kids are going to miss out on so much culture…..

As much as House of Wax sucked, it had one of the best gore scenes in recent memory. The portion where the one guy picks apart the wax covered friend is gold.

I think that the quality of gore will improve once we get out of this goddamn PG-13 horror trend. The Devil’s Rejects could’ve been that turning point if it was better.

Also, when the remaking of Japanese movies and making them suck stops. Seriously, I am waiting for them to redo Audition and take away the entire ending sequence and instead throw in a sword fight.

Chestnuts roasted by AJ @ 10/04/2005 9:57 PM

A sword fight and a motorcycle chase.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 10/05/2005 11:39 AM

THANK YOU! Finally someone agrees with me on the suckitude of PG-13 horror movies. AJ, you are my new best friend.

Chestnuts roasted by deathsheadmoth @ 10/08/2005 12:05 PM

I found this site because I was trying to find out how to buy old copies of a 70′s PBS show called Mulligan Stew. Does anyone have an idea? There was also a comic book that accompanied the show with recipes.

Chestnuts roasted by carrieann @ 10/09/2005 1:13 PM

These kinds of splitballs… really different!

Chestnuts roasted by Robyn @ 10/15/2005 9:05 AM

I want to use the Bug-a-boo song in a dance number!!! Does anyone have it to send me???
