TAKE OFF YOUR SOCKS LEST THEY BE KNOCKED

Ahhhh, Berkeley days....

Posted over 2 years ago
So, I've been on this TV reminiscence mission. This is random, very windy, circuitous, of logic. BUT - I had my sister ready my MOG-posts re: our childhood TV watching. She loved it. And she reminded me that on those Sunday afternoons and afterschool when we would watch the Bugaloos, Giggle-snort hotel, Land of the Lost, or Brady Bunch and Monkeys reruns we were not allowed sweet, greasy, or crunchy-crumbly treats. No, nothing like that was allowed in our household. What did we get? Well, we got pickles. Kosher dills wrapped in paper towels. That's what we ate while watching TV. And since that was all we got - we made them last. There's nothing like a sodium bomb in the the late afternoon to aid you TV consumption!As a slightly deranged and definitely vulgar 36 year old, my mind leapt from afternoon pickle snacks to my favorite song while at Berkeley as an undergrad:King Missile's "Detachable Penis." It was just so Berkeley-hip. Judge me as you will.

  1. Joxley says That song always reminds me of this stroy I read a few years ago: _Man Throws His Own Penis at Cop Jakub Fik, 33 years old, was reportedly smashing car windows in the 5400 block of W. Berenice Ave. in Chicago, Illinois. When police arrived on the scene, Fik was already bleeding and may have already cut off his organ. Fik emerged from the house naked with a handful of knives and started throwing them at officers, along with his penis. "About 10 feet from the front porch, right on the sidewalk, was his penis," said Chicago Police Sgt. Edward Dolan. Fik was charged with one count of criminal damage to property and two counts of aggravated assault, said Officer Laura Kubiak. "We took him out without any serious injury, with the exception of his own," said Chicago Police Sgt. Edward Dolan._

  5. Robs says I'm all over graham crackers! and oh, Land of the Lost was fantastic - the Sleestaks [so scary, but didn't they move kinda slow??], Chaka and the pylon with lightbrite pieces! I'm always surprised it wasn't made into a feature film...
