Laugh-In. I can't remember which season or show it was in (and I really looked for it), but it was an anti-war "skit." It was a series of pictures of feet/shoes. From young to older, showing shoes up to military boots, with voice overs I don't remember very well, except for the last picture, where it was obviously a veteran with only one shoe/foot being turned down for a job because of his handicap. Of all the skits they did, that one has stayed with me the longest. (If anyone else remembers it and can tell me which show it was in, let me know. Thanks.)

2023-04-29 23:26:53 +0000 UTCI'm enjoying a lot of LOL moments in the strip lately, including today's ("YOU don't like where this is going?") First thing that comes to mind is a Darkwing Duck episode where it looks like he's actually going to die after crashing his motorcycle without wearing a helmet. It was all a dream of course, but they played it totally straight--no matter how hard he or his witch girlfriend tried, there was no escaping his fate (except waking up). Always wear your helmet, kids!

2023-04-29 18:05:46 +0000 UTCShakespeare’s “Love’s Labor’s Lost”, a silly piece of Romantic froth that makes a sudden U-turn when a messenger arrives to tell the Princess that her father is dead, and she must come back to France. “Ok,” the women tell the men, “playing the romance game has been fun, but it’s time for little boys to grow up. If you can spend the next year behaving sensibly, come see us then.” And, of course, April 30, 1929, when Mary Gold died in “The Gumps”.

2023-04-29 15:05:33 +0000 UTCGreat QOTD. The 1995 movie Bye, Bye Love. Several, but the part where Paul Rieser tells his daughter that he and her mom will never get back together. Waiting for someone to pick Love Actually and see which scene they pick.
