Default Just in time!

That's right - just in time for Thanksgiving! "What?" you ask. Why the
biggest turkey in years - Bobsprit's newest film! Once again a vanity film
to show he is no director and marginal in using a camera. Poor James Doohan
went senile and did Booby's last movie, just before putting both feet in the
grave. Who will be Booby's next victim? Bob Hope is out, so it's a guessing
game who his latest washed up "movie star" will be. Rest assured the film
will never be a cult classic, the best it will do is rate five turkeys or
wind up on the rotten tomato list. Even Alan Smithee wouldn't put his name
on Bobsprit's celluloid pomposity. Bobsprit makes Ed Wood look like Stanley
Kubrik.
The only action you'll see at a Bobsprit film is the audience heading for
the door and with good reason. It would be prudent for Booby to start with
the "What's Up Tiger Lilly?" route and then progress into Terry Toons with
Farmer Gray. His sailing movie could then go on to be an episode of "Clutch
Cargo". By the way, the "famous actor" in Booby's next movie will be none
other than Charleton Heston --- ever see him in "Solar Crisis" -- it did
Alan Smithee proud.

sockpuppet roles...Glenn Milsop Harris would be proud of you!

No, I was well aware of the Glenn/Babs connection, and even noticed the irony of your
comment.

I just can't resist playing the straight man ...

I don't think so. Those were the days of the cedar bucket, of Tadpole =
running amock, and Gilly and MC sparring over air rights for the monkeys =
(even though MC still doesn't understand the relationship of the monkeys =
to the upside-down part of the world). Those were the days when Neal =
was even more obnoxious than he is now (hard to believe, isn't it folks? =
Do a Google search of this group 3 years ago). Those were the days =
when we prayed Larry Flynt would just shut up and mow his last lawn or =
take a cruise on a sinking ship. Bobsprit was still a newbie and hadn't =
wound his top yet. Jax was a self-righteous, supercillious word I don't =
say that starts with a *p*. Yep, those were the good old days.
