In "Old Money", what's the deal with the whole scene when Abe and Bea are "swallowing" thier pills together? I don't take pills and all my grandparents are dead so I really don't get this joke.
Thanks,
Iggy

its a joke on that old poeple need pills to stay alive and its also on how they are taking them, i havent seen that episode in a while but i remember them taking the pills like they were drinks or something
One pill makes you larger, one pill makes you small. And the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all.

They took a couple uppers, and a couple downers, but nothing compared to those greean and yellow purple pills.
Anybody got lyrics for that classic? I came up with a great parody idea for it. I'd like to build upon it.

he he, alice in wonderland was about weed. think about it, what do you think that caterpiller was smoking? and all the crazy stuff, like talking playing cards. sure, it might have also been an outlet for lewis carol's little fetish...but hey, that book and movie is about weed, hand's down.
I'm pretty sure Disney would not allow a Caterpillar to be smoking weed in his movies. Although that movie is kind of like an LSD trip, not that I've ever tried any street drug, but I've "heard".

The cat was using a hookah, so I would think he's smoking hash. It would be gauche for Disney to waste the pipe on common weed.
I was told on good authority that the Caterpillar is smoking Turkish Tobacco.

Well, actually, about hallucinations and the affects of such (mushroom reference). BTW, hookahs are primarily used to smoke hashish...

You may be right. Grace Slick doesn't always clearly enunciate her lyrics.
I'm still not sure if logic and proportion have fallen "sloppy" dead or "softly" dead. I go with sloppy because it brings up internal images that seem appropriate to the tone of the song.
Nice satirical lyrics, by the way. Did any "dittoheads" express their admiration?

A few months back I listened to a Grace Slick interview on radio. It was great. She talked about how she heard a wonderful song on the radio by a chick singer and she was floored. She immediatly asked her friend who the singer was and who wrote the song. The friend told her that the song was written by Grace Slick and that was her singing it. We need Grace back in the political mix. That story is much more reassuring than a GW press conference.

Ok, here's my first draft, hope you like it!!!! -
'White Limbaugh' - Stan and the Sequencers (parody of White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane)
One meal, makes him larger And one meal, makes him fall And the ones that, Mama gives him Don't constipate him, at all Go ask Limbaugh When he's ten feet tall
And if he out, chasing liberals And he thinks we're, gonna fall, He'll crush' us, and he'll snort us As he's taking a call Call Limbaugh And he will fall
Whine man on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And he's just had a narcotic And his IQ appears small Go ask Limbaugh I think he'll know About logic and proportion He abuses them on his show Cause the White Rush is talking backwards And the Reds he's shooting Remember what Continhead said: "I'm braindead I'm braindead I'm braindead"

There was a reason Y neither Clinton nor Bush went to war over the Cole attack. Because it was an attack on a military target. This was a very different situation (but certainly a part of the larger problem, I agree) than when they targeted the big buildings in New York.

The only qualifying response would be to get the Russians out of Palestine and give Palestinians their country back!

I was unaware that this was a country/western NG. Tho' someone occasionally asks about Lurleen Lumpkin.
Yeah, who's gonna declare war against two guys on a rubber raft. Umm, two _blown-up_ guys on a rubber raft, that is.
