Ahh, my sweet, precious SWC. Long may it reign on my TV. My sweet, precious TV.

Can I get a witness?

I've got something to say!

She's pretty out of her SWC makeup.

I figured as much. But the teeth combined with the wrinkles and hair and annoying voice she does....bleh.

I knew this guy at my synagogue and he had the weird teeth/jaw thing....so my brothers dubbed him "Strangers with Candy" and called him "Strangers" for short. Not to his face, of course.

I love it love it love it. Blood fart!!!!!

It took after school special TV and managed to make a comedy that was more original than parody. I love Ms Blank. It's chaos tied up in a bizarre and ugly bow and I just adore it.

Very excited about the film.

From a wonderful little CD by the Foremen:

" I was feeling sorry for myself
Because I had no shoes

But then I met a man who had no feet
And I said, "Friend, can I have your shoes?"

<--------He's my lovah!

Oh no!!! I'd written a loooong ode of love to Amy Sedaris and Stephen Colbert, but I accidentally erased it!! I spent my morning watching the second disc of Season 2!! Chloe has the flu, so she's been in bed....I feel crappy and tired, so I've been in Strangers With Candy-Land all morning. Loving it.

I have a maaaajor big girl crush on Amy Sedaris. Oh my gosh, I've loved her long and hard. When David writes about her, I crinkle up my nose and smile like an idiot. I love her. I love that he loves her....and accepts her. Cause, she's an odd duck. But that's why I admire her so.

I'm on this site all the time, keeping updated. I haven't read the fan fic yet, but dang, I'm almost there.

As for the movie.....the cast is pretty incredible! I've read that Matthew Broderick's teacher character comes between Jellineck and Noblet and that Sarah Jessica Parker is playing a French teacher.

Paul and Kathy Sedaris have bit parts.....Paul (hee hee, always known to me as Silly P!) is David and Amy's younger brother. Here's a link to his site:

If you like the mixed metaphors and loopy language used in SWC, you might like to read Amy, Stephen, Paul, and Todd Oldham's book, Wigfield. If you don't like that stuff, don't read the book. It's a satire fuuuulll of the plays on words that they use in SWC. It can be annoying. I liked it. Especially the pictures....funny stuff.

Stephen, Paul (look at those lips!) and Amy

As for Stephen Colbert.....I'm obsessed. I want him to throw me down and have his way with me. I want to rip off those glasses and play Gary to his Ace of the Ambiguously Gay Duo. I want him to raise his eyebrow as he undresses me. He's just so freaking funny, smart, and [jerri]hiLARious[/jerri]. He's handsome.......sigh. And so funny on the Daily Show. God, I love him!!!




Okay, I'm going back upstairs to watch more SWC.

Doh! I remember part of what I accidentally erased earlier......

Last night I had a dream that I was a student in Noblet's class and I was teasing him about Jellineck. He wasn't happy about it.....and when I woke up, I realized I was probably Jerri in my dream. Not cool!

One of our favorite episodes is the one with the health class baby and Jerri turns into an abusive husband to Tammi Littlenut. Good stuff! I'm pretty sure my husband has seen it about ten times. He's got the whole thing memorized. He's always knocking stuff on the floor and growling, "Pick it up!" And has noticed a LOT of the background stuff in the whole episode.

My favorite background poster is "Success has 3 S's." And we hit pause so we can read the blackboards, too. Nerdly! Our favorite blackboard is the.....um...pubic region shapes. So funny. My husband was about to die laughing when he finally noticed.
