I’m always thrilled that you kill me off each week. Please keep it up—I like being the undead.
I bet those crying babies’ mommies or daddies were graduating. And I was having a conversation with my boss today, who has to take his two year old on a plane next week. I looked him in the eye and said “Benedryl”. And he said, “yeah, that’s what my wife said.”
Other things that happen in the movies that don’t happen in real life—if you are the lead character in a movie, no matter how fucked up you are, useless, ugly, smelly, whatever, will find true passionate love by the end of the film. Also, they always reopen the shop door when you’re a minute late and they’ve locked it up. And my favorite—there’s always a parking space right where you need it to be, even in the middle of Manhattan.
Aww, I won’t miss any Hucklebugs while I’m away either. Woo hoo!
Thanks for the shout-out! My week wouldn’t be complete without it!!
Any time you see an “Mc” in front of a family name, that means they are of Scottish descent, not Irish. Irish=O’ in front of the family name. While people from Ireland can have the “Mc” in front of their family names, it usually means they’re Scotch-Irish, which means their family moved from Scotland to Ireland. Like Ewan McGregor, is from Ireland, I believe, but the “Mc” says his family is from Scotland. I know all of this because my family name used to have an “Mc” in front of it.

If you liked PAN’S LABYRINTH, check out DEVIL’S BACKBONE. Same director, similar themes. Not for kids.
Awww, thanks for making my little shindig a highlight! It was definitely my HL of the week to have you and everyone else there (and Bet in spirit).
YAY MUSIC!
HAMMER ON, STENNIE!
Ack! I think there’s something wrong with the mp3—it cuts out right in the middle of Bet’s bra story!
I just checked the link to the mp3 above and it looks complete, but I can’t listen to mp3s on my work PC. 🙁
I’ll try DLing it again when I get my lappie to a wifi signal. Part two of ThePete’s comments coming soon… I’m sure everyone’s very excited…
Why is it that the Hucklebug goes on hiatus when Stennie is of town, yet Bet always has to be there? What kind of strict taskmaster is Stennie anyway?
K, redownloaded it and got it all this time. Am listening now…
I think small hats on guys indoors is OK—like ball caps tend to be not intrusive at all, but anything larger than a bowler hat is just not cool.
I HATE parents who don’t keep their kids wrangled. Use a two inch leash with a collar one size too small and keep that kid outta my way!
I didn’t watch the Sopranos. Nor did I watch the final ep—and even I thought the ending sucked. Go out on a cliffhanger, damn it!!
Humphrey Bogart was a racist—when he got depressed in Casablanca, he had a black guy play the piano for him.
Hey, Spider-Man 3—in that Peter Parker gets infected with a costume that turns him into a jerk and then he plays the piano. Don’t know what happened after that, I walked out.
Hey! Bet used the word “blueskyin’”!
I’ve see lots of movies where women light an extra cigarette for the guy after lighting themselves one. It means they like the guy. It suggests to the guy that oral sex may happen later on in the evening. At least, that’s what they teached us in that film school-thing.
One thing I think of that they do on TV/movies that I never see in real life is when people skip saying good bye and just hang up.
“So, you’ve got the secret plans?”
“Yes. They’re in my hands now.”
“Good.”

So rude!
In the movie Cool Hand Luke, Paul Newman’s character (Luke) stands up against the prison bulley and gets punched to the ground. Luke gets back up and gets punched to the ground, again and again and again. By the end of the scene he has the respect of everyone in the prison, but he’s a bloody mess. THAT’S what most movies don’t tell you!
The big pajama companies have a powerful hold over Hollywood.
WE’LL MISS YOU!! I hope you all have a lovely time failing to bring us entertainment. 🙁
Where did Bet go at the end? OMG! It’s a cliffhanger!! NOOOOOO!!! IS BET OK? WAS SHE KIDNAPPED? DID SHE FALL DOWN A WELL??
I’M GOING TO BE ON PINS AND NEEDLES FOR TWO WEEKS!
Here’s a super duper, world’s biggest fuck off to the Chinese company Hitech Wealth (huh?) for their model S116 cell phone. It’s the world’s first solar powered phone and will charge in candle light. The only saving grace we had from the jabbering cell phone morons was the battery eventually died. No one ever has more than 1 thing worth calling about all day, but now people can spend 16 hours doing it. They can stick it to their face with duct tape and never stop talking.
Here’s a link

Well, from a company with a name like “Hitech Wealth” I’m just going to guess that this phone is crap. Still, solar power is the future, Duke!
Thanks for the link, though—and based on the site? We’ll be lucky to see these things in the US. The coolest/crappiest gadgets made in Asia take years to make it over the pond…
Hey Ladies – I also had problems with this weeks show – my mp3 player worked – but I never could get Win Media Player to work – but the Outtakes one is working OK.
Stennie – I really liked your Irish list – that was very enjoyable!!!
Bet – I need that whole clarinet duet!! Can you send to me??
Stennie – Hammer On – you rock!!!
I know what you mean about the noisy kids – I mean – just because you can turn it out doesn’t mean the rest of us can!!!
Ha – “I don’t know, Stennie. I just don’t know.” That’s great!!
Stennie – have you seen any of “On the Lot?” Any comments about this show??
I just realized that you’ll be recording a HB TOMORROW and I got so excited that I decided to listen to both Episode #59 and the Outtakes show for a second time and comment on them both.
Bet – please try, please study. I want to hear your best Stennie impersonation.
Thank you for addng my boss to the Fuck Off! List. That made my day when I heard it the first time, and it’s making my day right now.
Things that happen in the movies that don’t happen in real life –
1. Quickly change into superhero clothes, fly/crawl around and save the world.
Really, I can’t think of anything you didn’t cover. I guess I don’t pay attention to these things. You can bet I’ll be doing that now though.
