You’ve just spoiled the blurred spoiler in the previous post to yours.
Even with the spoiler, I didn’t “get” the joke - until I looked it up.
You’re not everyone.
My apologies. I should have spoilered my link too.
I fixed it for you.
Thank you. Again, apologies.
It was a joke. If you didn’t get it wouldn’t you want to know the answer anyway?
I didn’t get it, either. Thanks, Andy_L for adding your link.
It’s definitely a joke that nowadays needs explaining.
Simply googling her name would have explained it.
You joke but I’m fairly sure I saw an advertisement for a Romeo and Juliet reprinting of the original work except almost all the words were emojis.
Could that be the Darmok translation?
“Romeo and Mercutio, their pantaloons akimbo…”
(As us aging nerds get beamed up, Star Trek references will need to be explained)
Grin! “Larry and Curly, when the pants fell.”
I kinda wish Quayle had retorted with “Well, Senator, y’all may be from Texas, but you’re no Lyndon Johnson, either.”
Ain’t that the truth.
A joke that was on SNL in its first season, I think on Weekend Update had Chevy Chase reporting that Bill Cosby, Beverly Sills, Johnny Cash, and Connie Chung had formed a musical group and were holding a contest to name their group. Entries were to be sent to Cosby, Sills, Cash, and Chung.
Which was funny if you were familiar with David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young, who had come together as a rock supergroup.
I once had anchovy pizza. It wasn’t bad, but I didn’t care for it. It just tasted like tuna.
In defense of anchovies, there was a pizza place across Sheridan Rd. from Loyola U. Two people could share a small pan pizza and also each have a salad. The salad was always topped with an anchovy. I didn’t like it at first, but eventually I acquired a bit of a taste for it. But I haven’t had an anchovy since.
No, he already made himself look stupid enough by saying “The jerk store called. They’re running outta you”, because Bentsen would just reply “What’s the difference? You’re their all-time best
seller!”.
See, the idea of a comeback is to be funny and ridicule the other guy, not be unfunny in a most petty and spiteful way.
SNL did a skit last night imagining Donald Trump in the back of a white Ford Bronco with Don Jr. at the wheel just like the OJ slow speed chase. That happened 24 years ago, plenty of people now are already too young to recall that event even if they’ve heard of the OJ trial and the murders.
