Then again, it might be hiding in a box tucked away in my parents' attic....<br /><br />The highlights I remember are the cover (cheerleaders, with backs to the camera, spinning so that their skirts flare out, and one of them has no panties) and the single page of Freshman photos--the whole freshman class squeezed onto one page. The first one was "A. Baum." Read the book carefully and you find his first name is "Adam."<br /><br />Thanks for the memories, tintin.Family Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-33635454346335182762010-05-01T16:42:33.149-04:002010-05-01T16:42:33.149-04:00Cathleen- It's worth a try.

He just took the 80's teenage movie and did a MASH/Nashville number on it.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-9209426416986282352010-05-01T15:22:55.715-04:002010-05-01T15:22:55.715-04:00I would give this a try.

But the film is a hodge podge of intelligent skits best suited, I think, to stand on their own.<br /><br />The Bob Uecker scene is amazing, hysterical and baffling but it works. As Jeff likes to say, "If it doesn't totally surprise me - it ain't funny.<br /><br />Anon- The early 80's seemed to be the last hurrah for Nat Lamp. I don't remember reading it all after college. I'm trying to remember which issue had the "Blind Wife Tasting." Anyone?<br /><br />LBT- The Foxtrot hates it. With a passion. Past tense for O'Rourke? I like him still. His summary of the 70's Nat Lamp staff of writers, mostly Jews and Irish Catholics, hit home. The Jews loved the self deprecating humor while the Irish Catholics loved taking aim at everyone else. A match made in heaven.<br /><br />Main Line- Was that the 1964 yearbook? That was hysterical. I still remember the Driver's Ed photo funny. <br /><br />Stew- I'm getting the hang of tripe but not enough to ask for seconds. I've seen this at least 30 times over 20 years so if you need anything translated let me know.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-47772073081680600842010-04-30T08:37:17.257-04:002010-04-30T08:37:17.257-04:00Yowza.

As I previously suggested, this movie was unable to live up to the canon created by National Lampoon, but it was still nice to see them on home video. I guess the producers didn't think flushing lobsters down hotel toilets and mercilessly torturing The Schwab would translate into a Porky's-style franchise.<br /><br />I'm going to search for old issues of Lampoon on eBay now.<br /><br />Your taste, as always, is unassailable.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18227626694414844848noreply@blogger.com
