There’s no IMDb entry for KITH for the “It’s a fact” girl either, yet I saw her with mine own eyes. It’s hard for me to judge kid’s ages, but 11-12 could fit. ---

> [@yoyodyne](#): > > Do you think it could be [Erica Lancaster](http://www.starletsdatabase.com/spages/x_0861ARP43.asp?name=Erica%20Lancaster)? She’s 18 here, and would have been 11-12 during the “It’s a fact” period. She also had a part in _Brain Candy_. That doesn’t look like her to me. However, her appearing in the [Bobby Bitman](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218049/) movie ties her to Canadian comedy circles. ---

Aww yeah! I love me some kids in the hall. And you guys have really cheered me up. Because every day I come home from work, and make myself a bowl of popcorn, and sit here reading the SMDB next to a kitten for whom I feel nothing. It’s probably my fault for not naming him. I mean, I tried, I even started a thread here asking for names, but nothing suited him, apart from “Small furry kitty smooshy face with whom I live a lie”. Maybe one day we’ll connect… maybe… one day… ---

Actually, I was thinking about just getting drunk and watching Eraserhead. And rubbing my buttered body all over the TV screen. Yup, sounds like a plan. ---

Hey guys? Guys? If my head was made out of veal, which it is not, but if it was, how much would it be worth? (Side note the first - when I worked in a grocery store with a KITH-loving boss, we did a little research and figured my head would be worth about $200. But I don’t think I’ll sell. Side note the second - this question is a great ice-breaker in awkward social situations, right up there with “Who would win in a fight, a dog or a monkey?” and "Okay, but who would win in a fight between a shark and a bear? If it was in outer space?) ---

"I was born in that house. And you know what? I intend to die there. Oh, I don’t live there any more, but that’s where I’m going to die. Die in the house where I was born. Sort of a dream of mine. So, whenever I’m feeling a little bit sick, I just come down here. You know, just in case. Right now, I’ve got a bit of a cold, but it could escalate. " ---

> [@Tengu](#): > > Mark McKinney had funny? He still does. Check him out in [_Hatching, Matching, and Dispatching_](http://www.cbc.ca/hatching/). It’s Mary Walsh (of _[Codco](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CODCO)_’s) baby, but McKinney’s portrayal of a hapless outsider trying to fit in in a remote Newfoundland town (full of profoundly twisted specimens) is spectacularly funny. More nuanced than, say, the Chicken Lady\*, but definitely funny. \*Enjoying your eggs? They’re fresh! Straight out of my body and onto your plate!
