I remeber You Can't Do That On Television, with the slime and the Alanis Morrisset (slightly after my time) and the parental figure with the mustache, and the Canadian accents...

I don't remember it being all that funny unfortunately.

That show also reminded me of something that I won't miss from my teen (and maybe 20s) years -- Saved By The Bell. Yikes. And even worse, if you look on Saturday moring tv to this day there is always some Saved By The Bell-esque show taking up air time. Double Yikes.

For all the talk of Alanis being on You Can't Do That On Television, she was only on it for a small handful of episodes. It's not as if she was Christine or Lisa (which one was Moose? Anyone remember?), or the male adult figure. I ran with a guy on my high school track team who was similarly on that show for a season.

I'll defend the funniness of the show. It was certainly better than anything else that was on at 9:30 on Saturday a.m.s, cause that's what I watched (during years when hockey or religious school wasn't at that time). Some of those locker jokes were classic. And of course, "What do you think's IN THE BURGERS."

Good times, good times.

Wait. You meant sex with a car?!! Now that is shocking, and non-wonderbread.

A little early 80s anecdote:

My parents took me and the kid brother to see our local pro football team play. There were wonderbread vans handing out these mini-loaves of wonderbread.

We were enthralled. We asked mom: "why can't we ever get wonderbread?" Her response to us: "we feed you real food." Her response to our father: "we need to take the kids back to new york for a while."

Thinking about Ottawa's own Alanis, has the subject of the song "You Oughta Know" ever been definitively decided? I heard the rumors that it was Felix Potvin. Gwinchy?

Battle of the Planets rocked!! I saw a special somewhere a while back on anime in general and it mentioned that the entire series of Battle of the Planets (and the other variations/names it went under) were heavily edited Japanese anime which in translation bore no resemblance to what the Japanese show was in plot (or in violence level)...

The site you linked the picture from confirmed this. The villains on the Japanese series (Science Team Ninja Gatchaman -- love those Japanese names) were from Earth not from outer space, the characters were renamed and certain elements of American animation added in later to fill out the American story.

Wow, it's all coming back now. Firey phoenix and what not. It was like transformers before transformers were cool. And the superfriends. Wasn't there a moral to the story too?

Well, off to play Life.

I had heard it was about that other famous Canadian Dave Coulier.

Here's the scoop from the Urban Legend site:

Actor and comedian Dave Coulier, best known as Joey Gladstone on TV's Full House, whom Morissette dated for a while after they met at a hockey game in 1992. (The relationship reportedly ended because Coulier, fifteen years her senior, wanted to start a family, but Morissette felt she was too young.)

And I agree completely about The Muppet Show and Sunday nights.

I took voyeurism to mean having sex while watching other people have sex.

Clearly, wonderbread.

Even(shockingly high purity score)Odds

Voyeurism is super whitebread, but it can be addictive. Have you ever been on one of those "nude beach voyeur" websites? Sometimes the images are gross, but you can't help but checking out tons of them...

Watching most people have sex would not turn me on in the least.

Being watched having sex... that ain't whitebread. That's pretty ballsy. I've always wanted to be watched having sex by a panel not unlike olympic ski jumping judges. Afterward, they'd hold up cards and rate performance, technique, etc...

So I get home to see some young thing chasing a dog. I had just opened my door and the dog came running over to me. He tried to get into my apartment so I closed it. Turned around and met my apparently new neighbor. She tells me it is her best friend's dog. Her best friend, she tells me, might be moving in with her, cause, well, it is scary living alone. Remember that kid from Blossom, six was it? It was kind of like talking to six.

Anyway, I said it is? She says, well I am only 22 and this is my first apartment. I am thinking damn, I lived on my own from the time I was 18, and had my first apartment, alone, when I was 20. What's the big deal? Instead I nodded knowingly and said, yes that is young, and this is kind of the middle of nowhere.

Anyway, she asks me my name. And then she wants to know, would I like to hang out sometime.

Hang out?

My god, I felt like saying, my mom won't let me play after work.

Instead I just said, um, sure.

Next she says, wow you live all alone? I said, well, um, I'm 30.

I couldn't think of anything else to say. I felt like saying except for the occasional woman I like to fuck who spends the night....wanna come over? We can hang out

Is it such a big deal to live alone?

Oh well, a somewhat amusing anecdote for the day.

I hope for your sake, Leagl, that that girl is gay, and hot. If a girl came up and said that to me (which is unlikely - most 22 year olds are never that open with men), I'd fix her a drink immediately and see where things went. Anyone that green to the ways of the world and hungry for companionship would probably be open to casual sex... or a clingy psychopath.

Think of hooking up with her like feeding a stray cat. If you do it, she may never leave. Then again... this is overthinking everything - just split a bottle of wine with her and see where it goes.

Yes, I'm presupposing she's a hot lil' 22 year old with a body you could bounce quarters off. If she's nasty, I've whipped myself up into a lesbian sex fantasy for no good reason. No biggie - won't be the last time I do that today.

Not sure how whitebread a threesome is in general but I would suppose that a threesome with 2 girls and a guy is more whitebread than one with 2 guys and a girl. Most guys I have known have had fantasies about threesomes -- for some reason they seemed a bit put-off when I would ask if I could choose the other guy who would be the third. For whatever reason, I think most men (and perhaps most women too) think of a threesome as 2 girls and a guy. Perhaps it ties into the fact that most men seem okay with lesbian porn but freak at the thought of two guys.

I am not offended or freaked out by gay male porn. I've seen it before - its hard not to watch - its like seeing a really bad car wreck ("Goddamn, I should stop looking at this... those people must be in pain, but yet I can't stop looking...").

Lesbian stuff is much better because (a) I'm straight (b) its slower, (c) there are two of everything and (d) there are no dicks.

I've had a few friends who were involved in double-teaming girls. They all do the same shit - give each other high fives while one gets a hummer and the other takes the woman from behind. I asked them how they handled watching each other reach climax and view each other in an engorged state. They got quiet and accused me of asking disgusting questions. My response - "Hey man, you were walking around with a hard on in front of a friend and you're accusing me of uncomfortable behavior?"

This leads into my next point - dicks ruin porn. Sure, money shots are amusing, kinda like a dramatic peak in a movie, but do we males really need to see spewing cocks in these flicks/photos? I would like to start an "All Naked" channel where models and regular women just walk around naked all day. Each woman gets 15 minutes on screen and they run in loops like MTV runs videos. No dicks, no hard core spread shots - just naked hotties and amateurs. I think this format would be absolutely addictive. And the overhead for such a channel would be super-low. All you need is a camera and bodies who need cash.

You can keep your fantasy. She looked pretty good.

Oh, and I agree, dicks ruin porn.

I have gay male friends who prefer straight or lesbian porn because it is "cute" and "amusing."

One of these friends was in a porno for extra money in law school, and he had the audacity to show it to me. (Then again, I did watch it). At any rate, he got paid something like $2,500 to pretend to be working out, then suddenly feel the urge to pee on his own chest while on bench press bench, then blow some faceless guy with a huge cock, who then peed on him and IN HIS FUCKING MOUTH. Then he jacked himself off and roll credits.

Talk about an uncomfortable response to, "So, what did you think of my performance?"

I thought that we already had access to all the non-dick porn we could stand in all that soft core porn shit that is on tv. I say that porn serves no purpose for me at all if there are no dicks. What fun is that? Of course the male market for porn (both gay and straight) is larger than the (straight) female market, but we should get some options too...
