Idiot box thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Not what I meant. Much simpler.

A Vietnamese woman saved by a CIA type at the end of the war may have pissed off her CIA lover who now, 25 years later worked with anthrax. The whole anthrax scare was a simple diversion to obscure his lover or blackmailer or whatever their Last Choper Out connection was.

Whatever happened is only wild speculation on my part.
That there is a strange connection in the deadly anthrax letters to our "royals" and to some obscure immigrant from Vietnam seems without any other explanation.
Kathy Nguyen was a deep cover Viet Cong sleeper agent. With 9/11 as a distraction she was activated in order to get revenge for My Lai and the other 3.8 million Vietnam War deaths. Damn commie. It would have been devastating, but she infected herself. Opps. This is verified fact.

I'm not suggesting any kind of espionage conspiracy, but aren't the coincidences around this extreme.

Last CIA flight out of a war zone
25 years later this nobody is killed with spook made anthrax
Amid anthrax scare aimed at high profile targets
Unexplored by a media willing to explore every crackpot conspiracy there has been.

Seems likely to be personal. Maybe I missed it, but I never saw even a guess into her involvement.

Starting to feel a little bit like Back to the Future.



https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/snl ... p_catchall
While NBC and SNL didn’t specify why the cast would be “limited,” the New York Post reported Saturday that Weekend Update host Colin Jost and new cast members Sarah Sherman and Aristotle Athari — as well as executive producer Lorne Michaels — had tested positive for Covid-19. The Post added that the episode was on the verge of being canceled, as other cast members, “fearful” they caught Covid-19, have called out.
Now I'm seriously bummed, one of my favorite bits is the Weekend Update segment where Jost and Che write jokes for each other. They usually do it in the Christmas show and ths season finale.

-0-? I was watching a CSI rerun. I surfed to SNL during ads, but there wasn't one during WU. Most everything else I saw was an old sketch.

Here it is - some great jokes, weird format:

I always thought the mom/wife (Morticia) in that old show was hot. I think she was way hotter than Yvonne de Carlo who was the mom/wife on The Munsters. And not many people realize it, but the Eddie Munster character grew up to be Paul Ryan.

Here's the full two seasons of Adult Wednesday Addams, in chronological order, and more:

They're each 2-4 minutes long. So, easy to watch.

Turns out that Wednesday was shut down over supposed copyright infringement, which is somehow fitting. But, boo hiss.

What Happened to Adult Wednesday Addams?

A young couple, whose dreams come true when they inherit a beautiful country house, only to find it's both falling apart and inhabited by many of the deceased previous residents.
Kinda cute, but maybe the premise will get old. I'll give it another try or two.
Worked well for "Beetle Juice."
It'll be on here in an hour. We'll try it.
:lol: I'm still into it. It's staying fresh and clever for me.
