dougie, how is your butt doing?
I’ve always been a Bill Gannon fangirl, myself.
I thought it was adult incontinence. How do you deal with it Duggles?
Frank Smith would demolish Bill Gannon.
Leck it and see.
Are you blind? I’m too busy licking my red fox.
The sarcasm is thick enough to slice.
oouucchhhh - stop dougie, stop! You’re killing us here! We can’t keep up with your razor wit and slicing repartee.
Sarcasm? There is no sarcasm here, at least not on my end. It’s a well-delivered line, with a pretty awesome musical sting. I realized that I hadn’t seen the actual clip in question, so I figured it was worth posting.
Of course…it is a clip of otherwise upstanding straight-arrow Joe Friday calling someone’s mom a bitch for, really, no reason at all.
This is a fair point, because based on this thread, I’d have bet my house that the joke was of a humorous nature dougie could not perceive.
Not quite correct. In this scene, Friday and Gannon had arrested a young woman, an accessory to a hammer-murder. She was really snotty to them. She blew cigarette smoke in Friday’s face and said, “You got nice eyes–for a cop.” Friday then spoke that line.
From CHICAGO, the musical: “So I fired a warning shot. I fired a warning shot right between his eyes.”
Ohhhhhhhh! She was snotty! Well then, that completely justifies calling someone’s mom a bitch for no reason. And then never acknowledging it. Or apologizing.
She and her boyfriend beat a helpless old man to death with a hammer–for six dollars and change. That beats snotty any day.
Wait. Now it’s brutal murder that warrants calling someone’s mom a bitch? Not mere snottiness?
Hmmm. So…that would imply that if I thought someone were being snotty (even if they weren’t intending to), I would not be justified in, say, calling someone’s mom a bitch out of the blue?
(Whoever’s still reading this thing: It is just me, or is this getting surreal?)
It is easy to get the last word when you are the producer, creator and star or a TV show. Unfortunately, life is much messier than that, and words have more consequences.
Getting? Practically started that way.
I think everyone’s disconnect is this… what does her mom have to do with anything? It would be like me calling you an asshole because, say, andros was a jerk to me. Unless you’re saying that, since the woman turned out to be a killer, it’s all her mother’s fault??
