It's All Right

I've watched waaaaay too much "Saved By the Bell" in my life.  I quickly went from mocking my little sister for watching such a dumb program to going to a college and joining a fraternity that had no cable television.  So we watched TPIR, we watched "Small Wonder," and we watched SBTB.

As such, we drank our college days away to the Zack Attack, watched Jessie get hooked on pills, and stared at Kelly Kapowski doing pretty much anything onscreen.  Age of consent be damned.  We knew what MVEMJSNUP means, we know that AC stands for Albert Clifford, and we know that Tori Spelling was pretty lousy in any role she ever played.  And then we went to see Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls on Opening Night.  Of course we did.

This is pretty much what our fratres talk about when they speak of hideously wasting an amazing resource that was the College's education.  Eh.

The other night Jimmy Fallon did this:


Screech is in the pokey and Lisa is somewhere doing something less cool than this, I guess.

Worth a chuckle for the sadly initiated.  Belding's appearance might just scare me into getting in shape.  And Kelly's still got it.  This definitely makes me think we ought to post some of our old undergrad feature films.  (At another university they would be sex tapes, but nope, not at our old school.)

Enjoy.

tribe's gonna lose to a team they beat by 30 earlier in the season. of course.

Clarence said...

Tribe hoops = Screech

mr kq said...

Throw the Wiz in there as well.

rob said...

i'm already over this one. it happens. tribe was overdue for a bad shooting night.

Clarence said...

Wiz = Lisa Turtle. Surprisingly good, but occasionally goes missing.

TR said...

Per last post's comments, who gives a turd about Prince Charles? It's comical that "The Royals" still are politically relevant. I understand the cultural impact, but they're just rich folks born with titles. They ain't my princes and queens. I have Prince Rogers Nelson and the legacies of Freddie Mercury and Luc Robitaille for that.

No offense, Shlara. I just hate the feting of Buckingham Palace. The wife and I have British friends who once bragged they knew somebody who went to Prince William's wedding. I wanted to respond "Good for you, but you're now at a party in New Jersey talking to me, so how important are you really", but just silently chugged scotch instead.

TR said...

It is -5 degrees in VT. Am here w/ my kids, hemorrhaging money while trying to get them to like skiing. It will be 4 degrees when one starts their lesson tmrw. Good times.

zman said...

On my trip to England I noticed something obscene, people over there still give a shit about the queen.

mayhugh said...

It is 11 degrees right now. Took out the trash without a coat. That was a long walk.

Danimal said...

Rob - I expect you are keeping tabs on your Tribe picks. I'm thinking you're a game above .500 thus far, thus a winner.

T.J. said...

this clip, it es gud

Danimal said...

TR a little less petulant today I hope for his children's sake. Come on TR, relax!

Marls said...

Anybody going to Wiz/Nets tomorow. We have the Marlsphew in town and will be attending the game.

FYI, he is 22 and drinks like Clarence.

rob said...

believe that's correct, danimal. 6-5. should've gone with my first instinct last night. that really felt like a bad spot for the tribe, but their recent run of play had me leaning the wrong way. huge one tomorrow at uncw. someone get me the line.

Squeaky said...

Nursing a little bit of a hangover courtesy of Clarence. Good to drink some good and shitty beer with him.

rob said...

ludacris playing at w&m tomorrow for charter day. can't wait for clarence's review.

Danimal said...

i'll be rooting for the tribe - a mini-summit in jax during ncaa's could be quite good. buckles says he's a "definite" should that transpire. hopefully they don't blow it this year too am I right?

Fabolus.

rob said...

based on dave's recommendation, i bought the first two neal carey books by don winslow to read on my flights this week. really fun 'detective'-suspense stuff.

TR said...

Kids were troopers today. Wife too. Enjoying my Magic Hats while the kids wallow in the germ zone known as the indoor pool.

rob said...

pretty excited for the warriors/hawks game tonight. no, seriously.

Mark said...

As am I, Rob. Possibly the NBA's two best teams. Definitely the two most entertaining.

It's in the 60s and windy here and I want to do is sit on my couch in sweatpants and drink whiskey.

rob said...

'course, that game's not being televised. well done, nba.

Danimal said...

Good article on ESPN about Billy Walters, sports gambler and all around scheister. A good read that you'd expect to find on Grantland.

rob said...

kent bazemore has more points at halftime than steph curry does. i don't see that lasting.

TR said...

Laying in bed in the dark, drinking beers while our kids refuse to fall asleep. The good news is I have a 6-pk of Lagunitas IPA. They make some damn good beers.

Mark said...

Yes they do. They sell cool Mason jars/drinking glasses on their site too.

rob said...

if you're ever in petaluma, lagunitas' brewery is a really cool scene. funky, industrial, cowpunky, and sprawling.

Mark said...

Vitas went there too, Rob. Did you take the tour? Did they tell you the DEA story?

TR said...

I knew it was a Cali brewery, but had no idea of the history. Or the mason jars. Good to know!

rob said...

didn't take the tour, mark. my wife and i stopped in for a beer on the way to our b and b when we were in sonoma last fall.

rob said...

oh my god. you have to see how anthony davis beat the thunder.

Mark said...

Oh I saw it. Wow. Unreal. I really love that guy.

Mark said...

B and B. High grade whiteness.

rob said...

high grade awesomeness, too. the sonoma orchid inn. run by a gay couple with mad kitchen skills, and located right on the russian river.

Mark said...

I'm sure Rob is correct. The man has good taste. No doubt. That was one hell of a white response though.

zman said...

To be fair, he's never owned a hoodie before.
