Ah. I'll have to give it another chance.

Aaaaaaand you changed your avatar to MITM.

You bastid.

BWAAAAA-HAAAAAAHHAAAAAA

Tears are streaming down my face, mascara running down like Tara Reid on a sambuca/quaalude bender....that is the damn funniest thing I've read in a long time! Thanks for the laugh!

+10 for the Tara Reid reference.

My other favorites:

"Look at those Parker boys across the street. They may be healthy, but, honest to God, those are the ugliest little boys ever born. They look like boiled beets, don't you think? And those Henderson kids? They electrocuted their dog when they were trying to get free cable. How smart can they be? Just remember, any kid who makes fun of you is a creepy little loser who will end up working in a car wash."

"Dewey, go easy on the orange juice. That stuff doesn't grow on trees - wait, it does. So why is it so damned expensive?"

Morocco is one of my faves, as is the Orgy episode. When Gran puts the condoms on her hands to wash dishes and says "They don't put fingers on these gloves!"? I LOSE IT! Gawd, that show is unbelievable. AND - the episode where Eddie and Patsy are arrested for shoplifting.

Those are three of my favorite episodes! Selling Saffy to the human slave trade in Marrakesh?! Hilaaaarious!

Ah, but it's Dewey. Who doesn't love Dewey?

You can get the first three seasons in a boxed set for only $20 at Columbia House and another for free, but you have to buy, I think, three more sets within a two or three years. It's worth it, imo. Lots of outtakes and special features.

outtakes!?!!! I think I would pay that much just for the outtakes!*drool* Thanks for the info...I could probably buy some other stuff...
This whole outtakes thing is a new (fabulous) world to me...

The outtakes make you wonder whether or not they were drunk for real.

The fourth disc in the set is all special features. It has the original French and Saunders skit that they spun it off from, a making-of doc that was in the old video set ("How To Be Absolutely Fabulous"), an hour and a half long clip show, etc.

oh, okay. I've seen French and Saunders. The rest sounds good. Did you see Jennifer on Letterman a long time ago? She was toooootally straight and calm and normal. But, just Jennifers face and movements make me laugh. Heh, I had a girlcrush on her, too (cheekbones). She's fab. Thanks again.
