Huh. Never heard of them. Thanks for the heads up.

I thought he was just the dude with the museum.

What??

Quite.

O_o

I knew of that back in the day. Probably still got the old comedy LPs along with Richard Pryor, George Carlin and a few others

Same here. Has it really been half a century, now?

*blows dust off the clock of time* Does look like it.

Also had a chance to see them live. Also just as hilarious.

Lucky you.

''Up In Smoke"...
That's where I wanna be...
In my lungs, and sometimes up my nose *sniff...sniff*
When troubled times, begin to bother me...
I take a toke *suck* and all my cares...go up in smoke *cough, cough, cough, cough*

I had their comedy album as a kid. He also had Saturday morning cartoon for a while..

"Cheech, The School Bus Driver". I think I have an old audio cassette for that in the archives. :)

OMG Cheech and Chong were just so darned funny! No I did not look at the ding dong!

WHACK HIS PEE-PEE!

I PLEAD INSANITY! I'M CRAZY FOR THAT STUFF!

ROFL!

Up in Smoke

Don't be so hard on yourself. First I've ever heard of Cheech Marin was in the original Lion King. He played as one of the hyena trio in that film.

H'm. Well, look up their material from the 70s. You're in for a treat.

Also, singing My way by Frank Sinatra in any asian country (mainly in the Philippines) at any to all karaoke venue will guarantee you an actual death sentence and immediate execution... (I'm dead serious, it did actually happened, look up "My May Killings", you can thank these two for that: https://youtu.be/GCcGD7udioA?si=v6bbymbbSP4aUJX1)

you're welcome

Good thing they probably never heard the Sid Vicious version, then...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDy.....lTkMQ&t=5s

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain (Ha ha ha)
You cunt, I´m not a queer
I´ll state my case, of which I´m certain

I´ve lived
a life that´s full
I've traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I´ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
I saw it through without exemption

I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

There were times, I´m sure you knew
When there was fuck, fuck, fuck all else to do
But through it all, when there was doubt
I shot it up, and kicked it out
I faced the wall, and took the fall
And did it my way

I've laughed, and been a snake
I´ve had my fill, my share of losing
And now, the tears subside
I find it all so amusing

To think, I killed a cat
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no not me
I did it my way

For what is a brat, what has he got
When he wears hats, and he cannot
Say ve fings he truly feels
But only the words
of one who kneels?

The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way

Don't forget another classic!

Definitely can't forget that one. It's actually come up in Mitch's journals before.

Poor ol' Mitch. Haven't heard about him in ages. Is he out now?

I mean this Mitch, MMM. Or are you kidding? He's the only Mitch I know here.

(* facepalms *) Sheltered upbringing, much?

Evidently.

Dave?

Dave's not here, man!

No! I'm Dave! Let me in, man!

I love that that was in improv.

*an

That routine works well dubbed over a famous scene in 2001..

Heh.

Wait a minute! Are you serious? You didn't know that Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong were a comedy duo during the late 60s and early 70s? Whoooooa!

Sorry, forgot to add the <sarc> tags. I got my first Cheech y Chong LP nearly 50 years ago...

Understandably easy to forget about some of that back then.

After all, anyone who claims to remember the late sixties and early seventies probably wasn't really there.

Or. like me, was too young for the really GOOD stuff.

...If only I could remember that...

Ditto. Did see some of the protests in D.C. in 1969 and 70 - lived just north of the district

I was in some of the protests in Berkeley against the war and for People's Park.

... I think...

I was 5 or 6 at the time.

I was ten or eleven.

I did 3/4ths of a hit of Purple Haze on my first acid trip at a Dead show at Winterland when I was 13 or 14, followed by another half hit of Orange Sunshine.

It was... Interesting.

Never got into that stuff. Now I'm on Gabapentin for neuropathy pain. That stuff can make for some interesting vivid dreams...

Hard psychedelics are definitely not for everyone. I learned a lot from them, at least part of which is how overwhelming the experience can be.

I love hem, but I've only done large doses maybe 20 or 30 times, and not in quite a while. A little of that can go quite a long way.

Saw them live in Massy Hall, Toronto, must have been '75 or '76. Of course I had all their albums.

I still have most of their LPs. :)

Still have the LP of the first album. My brother wanted to hear it when he was home from the hospital for a few weeks - short remission of his leukemia. Must have played it for him 30 times - still have it memorized - been ages since I played it - sometime in 1980

Did you get the Big Bamboo with the super-sized rolling paper in it?

Still have both.

A friend of mine was a cook at a local private school where he also dealt a fair amount of the devil's weed. One night when we were listening to my Cheech nd Chong collection at his room in the staff quarters he rolled a pound - A WHOLE POUND - into a giant blunt with the paper from the album. When I came to ....

Whoa.

Shoulda seen the burn in the carpet where the last guy dropped it.

I can imagine.

Never was a fan, I agree with that saying the National Lampoon printed a couple of times "If dope smoking doesn't effect your mind, how come so many kids think Cheech & Chong are funny?"

Well, to each his own. :)

Plus we're both old enough to remember the joke about kids finding out Paul McCartney was in a group before Wings.

Q: What do you call a pig with wings?

A: Linda McCartney.

"Dope will get you through times of no money much better then money will get you through times of no dope" -The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.

Loved them too. There's an animated version of them online - recent work.

Cool. Haven't seen that. Gilbert Shelton was great. Fat Freddy's cat ruled, even when he was crapping in his boots or his headphones. -Infinitely better than Garfield.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10627334/
Heh, that's normal cat behavior... Anything is better than Garfield. I miss
Bill the Cat from Bloom County.

I'll be danged. And with an all-star cast of VAs as well.

Likewise. I had a Great Bill The Cat T-shirt at one point.

Still have the Billy and the Boingers book. Loved the bit making fun of Tipper Gore fussing about Rock Lyrics....

Don't know that one, but I have some of Berke's other work. I was a sucker for Calvin And Hobbes as well. -Always reminded me of Pogo.

Oh you would love Calvin County. Occasional team up of Breathed and Watterson https://www.cbr.com/calvin-hobbes-b.....rossover-2019/

That's pretty great.

ACK!

Pffft!

He also did a movie called shrimp on the barbie. And a commercial for Gillette shaving products... I think it was Gillette?

How about "Now back to Zorro, starring John Wayne" or "The Jackson 5 story, starring the Osmunds"

15 year old me laughed his ass off upon hearing that in 1980, Rolf and I needed the laughs at the time.

(nodnods)

Now I wonder what they would make of Firesign Theatre

well, they were contemporaries, and even in the same area.

I've run Firesign past some young coworkers, the double talk confuses them and that J Men Forever movie Procter and Bergman did really puzzles them.

They definitely had a strong influence on me.

They showed the film version of "Everything You Know Is Wrong" at porn theaters in the off hours in LA and SF back in the day. I caught it in SF.

Hehe was that the one with the General thinking his fried eggs are ufos? Seen clips of that one

Yup. A classic scene. Dude was definitely trippin'.

A DVD of that is available.

Probably has the the Bear Whiz Beer ad too.

It's the whole album with accompanying film.

"It's in the water. That's why it's yellow!"

okay I need to find that one.

It should be on their website. I'd love to pick one up and see it again myself.

what's old is new again.

Aye!

if people make fun of you for being old, just smack 'em with your cane.

This is why my EDC (everyday cane) is heavy wood.

No wonder Tali hangs around, you got big Heavy wood

Or big Bambu.
