Thank you both. It was Hutsell. I still can't remember her character but it was something like this:
She'd raise one eyebrow (stank face) and the camera zoomed in on her. She was sort of a sarcastic character.

It won't play. Maybe I can find on YouTube.
Hmmmm. It plays for me. I think you need a new record player.
This is the link to her character, Meg the sorority girl. Sorry if you can't play it on your stereo.

I swear, I'm going to beat up some old ladies one of these days.
I went to my favorite little salad restaurant today for lunch. I get to the door and try to pull it, it's locked.So, I'm yanking on it thinking it's stuck. Nope, locked.
There's this clutch of wrinkle bags in there, and I'm looking right at them, pointing at the door, crooking my finger at them to please come open the door for me. They all just stand there and gawk at me.
Some old bat who just came out, looks at me and says, it's not locked, it's open for business. And I looked at her and said, "'It's locked." and I pulled on it making a sh*t ton of noise. She and her cackle friends on the outside are all, oh my, it's locked. And I'm still gesturing for these cackle bags who were inside, close to the door, to come open it for me. I loudly say, "Jesus Christ" which I know offended all of them.
Finally, a younger woman gets up from her table and walks clear across the restaurant and opens the door for me. And I look at the cackle bags and say, "thank you so much" dripping with sarcasm. And then I tell the girl thank you.
Yeah. That's right. I was a total Academy Award winning bi*ch. Your point is?
And yes, I am in the same age group as the cackle bags, they are my own kind, so I can talk that way about them if I want.

Oh, so I need to get rid of my 8-track? Got it. Nope, won't play. Thinking I need to start an SNL thread if one doesn't exist. I remember David Spade had a talk show-type character and the Gap Girls. Lol
...you salad craving crone!....
Remember sewing bees? I think they were really dragonflys. We used to scream and run holding our mouths and pointing at it. Because our mothers told us they would sew you lips together. It was a fact. we thought so anyway.
You mothers out there need to bring this horror back.
Ya ever hear this old rhyme? When ya see a lady bug?
Lady bug, lady bug, fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children are alone
Mom used to sing us that one. Creepy.
'Ring around the Rosy' is another one. We all held hand and skipped around in a circle singing.
Read that: (You guys probably already know this..)
Read that: (You guys probably already know this..)
It's about the bubonic plague and it dates back to about 1665. The rhyme came about because of the symptoms of the plague included a rosy red rash in the shape of a ring on the skin (Ring around the rosy). Thus people filled their pockets with sweet smelling herbs (posies) which were carried due to the belief that the disease was transmitted by bad smells. The term "Ashes Ashes" refers to the cremation of the dead bodies

Just finished Memoirs of An Imaginay Friend and I loved it even more than the first time I read it. It's the most "different" book I've ever read. It's filled with humor and suspense and emotion.
Highly recommend.
Highly recommend.
We said it a little differently:
Lady bug, lady bug, fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children are all gone
All except one, and that's little Anne
She hid under the pudding pan
Okay, I meant to put this in the "What are you reading?" section. Sorry.
Oooh. And this meaning has your Ann in it too, Sundrop
Nursery rhymes are scary things.
Ladybug ladybug fly away home, Your house in on fire and your children are gone, All except one and that's little Ann, For she crept under the frying pan.set alight, the real meaning behind it is even worse.
Ladybird is a derivative of the catholic term for our lady, and was believed to be used as a warning to Catholics who refused to attend protestant services as required by the act of uniformity (1559). The law disallowed priests to both say mass and attend it, therefore Mass was therefore held in secret in open fields. If caught, priests were subject to either being burnt at the stake or hung drawn and quartered.

I wish Stephen King would write a nonfiction book about his favorite books and authors; not only horror (Danse Macabre) but a highlighted reading history much like the one Pat Conroy wrote. In his address today at the National Book Festival he spoke of the importance of books in his life and even shared anecdotes such as when he and Tabitha were reading on their front porch (Moving On by McMurtry for Steve and a history book for Tabby) while toddler Naomi played in the dirt. I think it would be a literary magic carpet ride over the past 60 years of his life and would be a wonderful legacy to his Constant Readers in the same way On Writing was to writers-in-training. Does anyone have interest in reading such a book?
Me. Danse Macabre is in my Top Ten of Stephen King's. I like his non fiction voice better than his fiction voice.
I think it would be a mesmerizing read and revealing in the same way On Writing was, which humanized him and gave us a biographical peek into his formerly shrouded life. There is a reason we enjoy hearing his voice in a Foreword or nonfiction work (like you mentioned) because it reminds us that he's just a guy who likes to read and write stories. I truly hope this happens one day. Maybe the "guys in the basement" will begin to move and he will once again be bitten by the nostalgia bug.
(I will add that King doesn't necessarily need to be humanized because he has the uncanny ability to close the distance with his folksy wit and charming candor, but I think his most ardent fans like to be reminded that he's just a regular guy.)
