> [@limegreen](#): > > My FIL and MIL took us this summer to a timeshare in TN where we all had to go see a community theater production of “Oklahoma”. I was mildly amused watching the leading man munch on all the scenery, until he kills Jude and the sheriff is summoned. A black guy strutted on stage, and I immediately turned to my oldest daughter and her fiance (who share my dark and twisted humor) and whispered, “The sheriff is a NI --” We giggled ourselves senseless, and my husband glared at me. He’s never seen Blazing Saddles. sigh. I salute you, ma’am, for the most appropriate quoting of a film that I have had the honor to vicariously witness. Had I been there, I would have had to leave. I would have giggled for the rest of the night. I’m going to be giggling for about an hour as it is. ---

The sheriff is a nig-DING! _Blazing Saddles_ and _Young Frankenstein_ are so great. I really should get around to seeing _The Producers_. But the former two have aged great; I loved them when I was 8 (ca. 1989) and I’ve seen them both recently and they hold up great. I also still laugh like a madman when Mongo decks the horse. ---

> [@GameHat](#): > > I really should get around to seeing _The Producers_. I never saw The Producers until a few years ago, and was in love with it in about two minutes. Zero Mostel is priceless, the premise is golden, and the execution is wonderful. I’d have a hard time picking a favorite among The Producers, Young Fronkensteen and Blazing Saddles. ---

> [@kunilou](#): > > It’s entirelyt possible in 100 years that Alex Karras and Madeline Kahn will be celebrated for their performances, while Wilder, Little and Korman are largely overlooked. Had to go to imdb to see who Alex Karras was, the actor’s name isn’t a name I know . . . . . . Oh, he played Mongo. Yes, he was awesome . . . . . . HOLY GODDAMN CRAP!!! **Mongo was _Webster’s Dad_!?!?!?!?** ---

> [@jz78817](#): > > “Somebody’s go to go back and get a shitload of dimes!” Bear with me for a moment… last fall, the flodfamily was on vacation in the Netherlands, and we visited Madurodam. This is a sweet little tourist trap, a miniature city featuring buildings and such from all over the country, and in various places there are things that move if you put a coin in a box. Almost all of them require a ten (euro)cent piece. When we came to the first one we wanted to try, we discovered that I was the only one who had any change at all, and all I had was a two-euro coin. But we had passed a change machine… Yep. I actually got to say “Somebody’s got to go back and get a shitload of dimes!” in real life 😃 ---
