What I Did On My Summer Vacation, Day One

Things observed during a day devoted to doing nothing but eating cheese and watching daytime television:

1. Whose Cheerios did Lynn Swan poop in, that he went from Pittsburgh Steelers hot dog to making inane chat with Kitty "Why Aren't I Dead Yet?" Carlisle on the revamped, even-sadly-crappier version of "To Tell The Truth" and why did I find it necessary to watch over 6 episodes of it to determine this?
2. If any of you ever ever get the chance to taste Buttermilk Cheddar, do it. Do it quickly, and do it often. No special equipment is needed, except possibly a block and tackle to hoist your ass out of the chair afterwards. Man, this is good.
3. Jimmy Neutron makes me extremely nervous. I think it's that giganto head.
4. On the other hand, those lovely folks at The Weather Channel are very soothing and do not mind in the slightest if you leave to visit the loo in the midst of their program. They will quite gladly repeat exactly what they said for you... again and again and again.
5. I am beginning to suspect that "True Hollywood Story" isn't telling me everything about Shannen Doherty. Just a suspicion at this point.
6. I hate that woman in the diet pill commercial, that Leptopoo or whatever the hell it is, and the way she so very sternly tells me that if I am just worried about "vanity pounds" that it's not for me. I got news for you, bitch, if I want to blow as much money on an untested and unproven highly-hyped yet strangely unresearched sugar pill as any disco daddy did on coke in the early 80s, I damn well will. You can't stop me.
Reverse psychology my ass.
7. The hickory smoked cheddar is also very good, especially with dill pickles.
8. The plants in the alleged flower bed are not entirely dead yet. They don't look fresh as a summer's eve, but neither do they resemble Kitty Carlisle. A minor distinction, I guess.
9. Is today garbage collection day? I can't remember.
10. That woman on "Weakest Link" probably ate her children the first time they whined. She has a mouth like a lamprey.
11. She makes me less nervous than Jimmy Neutron, though.
12. Oops. There goes the garbage truck. Must make a note.
13. Mmmm, cheese.

LOL!

LeeAnn, the inside of your head is like a Twilight Zone Disney Land, except without all the mouse-ear-selling kiosks :-)

. . . "not entirely dead yet" . . .

Just yellow-highlighting and moving along.

Kitty Carlisle humor, my that was funny, the weather channel reference made me LOL, how true.

Now imagine what Kitty Carlisle looked like to Bill Cullen, through those coke bottles he used as glasses, that must have been freaky

and i bet she wore GALLONS of perfume, she would have to.

I'll just eat eat a slice of cheese and pray Orson Bean is still alive

Oh, my gosh, a mouth like a lamprey? Of course, if she had a child like Paige, she'd be totally entitled to eat that child. I'm just sayin'. Now, I'm going to go try to forget this mental image so's I don't end up having nightmares! Giggle.

Buttermilk cheddar?!?! I've had all sorts of cheddar, but never even seen buttermilk. I now have a quest!

I had no idea Kitty Carlisle was still alive?

How the hell old is she?

Posted by: Allan at June 8, 2005 05:38 AM

Kitty's 94.

And today's trivia:

She was the only panelist to appear on every version of TTTT from 1956-2002

Posted by: Harvey at June 8, 2005 06:16 AM

I don't know what's scarier: That you watched the newer version of TTTT, or that Harvey unloaded that last bit of trivia. Harvey, got to ask - why do care enough about Kitty to know all that? I think that's the scariest...
Cheese.

Buttermilk cheddar. Hmmm, maybe I will have to plan a day off to sit around and enjoy that one. Where does one find buttermilk cheddar? I assume that we don't just go out back and feed the cows buttermilk... or do we?

"Reverse psychology my ass." Rolling, floor, you get the idea.

Mmmm, buttermilk, `eh?

Jimmy is kinda creepy, but Sheen IS the shiznit. I love that guy.

Posted by: Greg at June 8, 2005 10:21 PM

Actually, I don't know a damn thing about Kitty except what I read on IMDB.com and whosaliveandwhosdead.com
