Another Monday brings another trip out of town for a few days. I'm not terribly excited about going. With the Christmas season, ManFriend and I are going to be apart (or too busy to be functional members of society) for the majority of the month. Don't tell him, but I'm probably going to miss him a lot over the next little while. I need a pick me up, but booze is not an option. Court order says so.
This, for all you non-Canadians and people younger than 35, is Kids in the Hall. They were on CBC television from '88 to '94. Some of their stuff was absolute garbage, but some sketches were so brilliant they make me laugh in a gaspy, choking, strangled cat kind of way. Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson are by far the funniest in the group, with Bruce McCulloch occasionally contributing some gems.
1000 Dollars. Mark (left) and Scott (right) are the cowboys.
I've been trying to master the cowboy walk without success. ManFriend pretends he doesn't know me most of the time, but more so when I practice the walk in the produce section at Save-On shouting "YeeeeEEEEEHHHHHP!". In an effort to keep the romance alive, we frequently yell "Someone's gonna get a THOUSAND dollars" at each other. Spicy.
I wish this was real. How awesome would it be to be sitting in a cafe with some douch-pickle that's really annoying the shit out of you and two cowboys bust in promising suitable rewards? How hard would you be wishing that the ass-hat across from you would win? Oh merciful heaven, I do so wish this would happen to me.
I'd probably end up with the second prize.
And this?
This is 3 sketches of bizarre awesomeness with Bruce and Mark. Everything is perfect. I just can't get over the look on Mark's face in the bathtub sketch. It makes me cackle gleefully to myself, then shudder at the state of the bathtub. Cackle, shudder, cackle, shudder, pass gas, cackle, shudder.
May your week include many points collecting opportunities.
Cheers,
T.
