And they're going on tour to celebrate fifty years.  God I'm old.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

We are not old compared to God.

I actually like some of their tunes and their TV show taught me the meaning of surreal. "Green Acres" was another show that pushed the boundaries of reality. The 60's were something......

I remember them, racing around in their little 6-wheel buggies during the intro:




Vituð ér enn - eða hvat?  -Voluspa

Nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls and nothing's ever worth the cost...

"Don't you look at me that way..." -the Abyss

... this will go down on your permanent record... -the Violent Femmes, 'Kiss Off'-

"I'm not just anyone, I'm not just anyone-
I got my time machine, got my 'electronic dream!"
-Sonic Reducer, -Dead Boys

OMFG. I remember that from my childhood.
"If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labelled a radical 50 years ago, a liberal 25 years ago, and a racist today."

Is Peter T taking part? I hate the Monkees (liked them as a kid), but it seemed kind of arrogant of him to act as if he'd never been one.

Young people everywhere will ask, "Were the Beatles copied after them"?
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

The Banana Splits,  talk about surreal. Those friggin things weirded me out as a kid. And that damned theme song is forever embedded in my brain.

And for some reason my kid-brain has always linked those two groups together.  :crazy2:
