ARCHIVED You Can't Do That On Television
elye replied to elye's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I remember going in to watch rehersals of the show, and when Ruth was here taping, she's have everybody in hysterics. There would often be many takes, just because of Ruth keeping everybody from their straight faces. I wonder what she is doing now...I never see her anymore. She's younger than my dad, but perhaps she could be old enough to be retired. -

Abby Hagyard was Valerie....a great comedy actress. Did you know that Ruth Buzzi (all you veteran Laugh-in fans) appeared on a season of shows? Now THERE was a funny lady. -

Snake-eyes, that insane bus driver... They also got an extra fifty bucks each time they were slimed, to compensate for the clean-up time btwn. scenes. My dad claims he was only slimed once, but got watered many times. The far lesser of two evils... -

Ha! She'd make a wicked mother-in-law...watch out, Jen. Speaking of mothers-in-law, a mini-survey: who has a mother-in-law that bucks the well-heeled stereotype of MIL as horrid Medusa? I do, I do! My MIL is a terrific, hip lady, who knows her boundaries, adores her grandkids, and is a GREAT houseguest. She's also very English (love you all, Nikki)... -
ARCHIVED What Could This Be?
elye replied to BklynDahl's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
This can be tough...what is certain is that many who are gluten intolerant take months (plural), even up to a year and beyond, to feel significantly better. If you've only been gluten-free for two months, I would say it may very well not be long enough to decide that gluten alone isn't the culprit. Frustrating, I know...! -

...And how about that Hispanic (VERY politically incorrect) firing squad commander. "Ready...Aim..." and then, inevitably, as he's sinking to the ground, "Dat's waun...sneaky...keed"! So funny. Dad had some of the BEST quotable lines in all of TV, IMHO! -

Wow! What a fan! The kids on the show were so fabulous...I got to know some of them, as we were all around the same age. Don't forget Moose (Christine), the curly-haired firecracker who often carried the show. I loved Lance, as well...like all of the characters my dad portrayed, he was the embodiment of the truly politically incorrect individual: a drunken... -

Oh, Susan! You're introducing a new scent to the thread! A "slight canine stink" is where I often feel at home, having had many huge, stinky dogs through my lifetime. Dog stink mingling with the estrogen reek...are we primed for this? -

I think I wanna go back to the good ol' days when a drink was a DRINK...when vodka martinis were vodka, maybe an olive, and NOTHIN' ELSE. Being celiac and diabetic, I could have free reign with those. I simply have to stay away from grand marnier, triple sec, grenadine, all that stuff. I remember my parents' big house parties where everybody was slinging... -

I avidly remember watching HS, and Tom, if you were watching the NBA and NFL from 1980, I imagine you're a wee bit older than I... Are you old enough to have had a (shudder) mullet back then? -

Bev, what is a cosmo? I have often thought that I would love to patent an adult jolly-jumper for commercial/recreational use. Not some big, industrial thing for parachutists or Olympic ski-jumpers, but something you could install in a (big) rec room and bounce around in. You could install two, and work out bouncing routines with spouse. Both my kids... -

They began taping it here in 1979, and it was produced until 1990. I think Nickelodeon picked it up in '81 or '82, and from there it went. I told my dad recently that a man I met who had moved here from New York told me that his BEST Halloween costume of all time, one that won him many prizes, was his Barth get-up. We really laughed at that one--you know... -

I dunno where the wifey-stuff began...I sensed it's been an old theme (like, fifty pages or so long), generated from the fact that you, Tom, are the only man standing in this "headily fragranced" sea. I assume it's been this way for most of this wild thread (although I do notice that this whole saga was begun by Triticus Toxicum--now THERE was a funny, funny... -

ARCHIVED Vitamin D Recommendations?
elye replied to grey's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Direct sunshine onto the skin is the best delivery system for D3, by far. Twenty minutes a day is enough. I now make a point of being out in the sun with as much skin exposed as possible (difficult during Ottawa winters!) for my half-hour shift, each day. Much cheaper, as well, than supplements! -

Bizarre...I clicked on your link, and it was a different page totally from the one I was on! Anyways, there's a great site if you go into google images and punch into the search "YCDTOT" or "Les Lye". Funny, funny stuff. I'll have to read everyone's responses to my dad. He's now legally blind, got Parkinson's...but still funny as hell! -
Hey, guys, I've had this problem once before, and posted the question...it was an easy answer, but I've since forgotten how to do it, so I will write the answer down this time! I've been trying to change my avatar photo, and the photo is accepted, but doesn't appear. It's still my old one. I've tried hitting the refresh button, but it still won't change...

I have to insert a technical question here, before we continue with our raucous hilarity: I have not yet been able to figure out how to put just a section of a person's previous post into a quote, as you guys do all the time. If I want to respond to a particular sentence within someone's post, how do I put just that sentence into my post? I seem to be only... -
