The little ones in NJ watched and loved The Munster's. I couldn't believe it. I liked McHale's Navy. I read the other day that Tim Conway isn't doing too well healthwise. Just looking at Tim and Harvey Koreman just makes me smile.

That's NOTHING but funny about the grandchildren enjoying The Munster's. Sometimes you never know what might tickle their funny bones, but it's always more fun when it's something you experienced and enjoyed in your younger years as well.

Couldn't agree more about Tim and Harvey - classics, they were.

It was a movie I believe. It is so funny now to watch David McCallum as Ducky in NCIS after having watched him as Illya Kuryakin. There has been absolutely NOTHING on all summer and I can't wait for everything to start back up in a few weeks.
Magnum PI is also coming back. They are needing to bring the old shows back because the new ones are so lame.

The Munsters worked because Marilyn and the rest of the family thought she was too plain looking and a bit of an embarrassment. I didn't care for the show and preferred the Adams Family. That was based on a comic strip. I couldn't guess which way the show was going.
I looked up Chas Adams, the guy who made up the comics. I don't know if I manufactured this or it's an urban legend but i heard the guy who wrote the Adam's Family lived in a psychiatric institution. That seemed to be real to me.

here are the facts

You were getting too used to using your NOTHING classified tagline for your NOTHING that you forgot your real NOTHING!

I liked Adams family better too for what it's worth which is NOTHING.

I can't guess where your NOTHING is...

I think I used enough NOTHINGS in my follow-up post to make up for it.

Oh, that's right, that would not be K-approved. Never mind. NOTHING.

I dropped the ball. I forgot about nothing.

You dropped your ball and forgot about NOTHING? You are having a bad morning.

Or was it just one of the balls from the decor basket? Inquiring NOTHINGS want to know.

oh no, my pork butt recipe is confusing, my balls are dropping and I can't remember nothing-----it's a good day though,,,,the dripped coffee all dripped into the drip coffee pot-----I wonder why it's called Mr. Coffee? Sounds a little misogynistic to me. My mom always made the coffee and filled the thermos while my father was getting ready for work. I must be channeling Seinfeld [TBS] this morning.

My grandson would have found pork butt to be NOTHING but hilarious. When we called the dog a slobber face he cracked up.

SAY WHAT???

Usually I follow right along but this post and the last about priests and rabbi's and kids registered nothing...…..Call me dense. Don't trip over your balls. I wouldn't want harm to come to you.

People tell me they enjoy my recipes and I posted one recently about onions, carrots and potatoes that begins with pork butt cooking in a crock pot.

I took a classified ad about a basket with balls, and a few other ads on the main thread and tried to turn it into something funny Johnny Carson would say in an Amazing Kreskin sketch he did for years.

I remembered I use to do that routine with the high school director many years ago. We would give phoney academy awards to our actors and stage crew. I would name 4 real actors and 4 phone movies like this:
Jack Nicholson in Five Easy Pizzas
Mark Scalzo [our student] in Death of a Salesman [the play we did]
[and 2 more silly movies or plays]
We got all dressed up and pretended it was the academy awards. The director and I were at the podium and she opened the envelope. Of course our student would always win. They would walk up and say something at the mic and accept our award. I miss those days and sometimes try to recreate them here in some small way.

I got side tracked on the Adam's family tv show and lost my place so I forgot nothing. Chas Adam, the creator is really funny.

I was listening to a conversation about why some religions thrive while others remain stagnant. Hundreds of years ago the Rabbi's could read and they taught their children to read along with math and science. These educated families continued to expand. Priests and Sisters could read and equally well educated but could not have children so the common good took a lot longer. What I didn't write is that the fear of God keeps people quiet. This training begins in Kindergarten for some of us who went to Catholic School. The clergy who use this kind of mind control are not being fair, to say the least.

No one is dense. I think it was Einstein who said if you can't easily explain something then you probably don't understand it. That stuck with me.

Tomwed, you impress me more and more as I get to know you through this forum. To remember all that and put it together like you did is NOTHING but impressive in and of itself. Heck, I can't remember what I said or wrote or typed 2 minutes ago!

Your wit and knowledge of so many different things, also impressive. Love the Einstein quote. I'm going to have to remember that - a good way to keep oneself humble.

And last but not least in my book, you can cook! Yes, I never forget that tidbit of info - a man who can cook. I forgot to check that off my list when I married my better half. I guess I was too enamored by his charisma....... or something like that. (I know it wasn't the Vette - lol.) Thank goodness he's pretty close to perfect in every other way - definitely a keeper.
