Karma police, arrest this girl

Apr 29, 2005 04:46

There is a commercial for some sort of medical alerting device that amuses me to no end. An old lady is sprawled on the floor, I think her wheelchair is nearby, I don't remember. She says "Help. I've fallen and I can't get up." For all the urgency and pain in her voice she might as well be talking about the church bake sale ( Read more... )

That commercial has been a famous classic for, I swear, 25 years, and *I have never seen it*. Jealous!

I even know a joke about it from Way Back When. Not a good joke, but still:

Circa 1979: Christ is at a disco. He can't seem to catch the beat. "Help," he complains. "I've risen and I can't get down!"

In other news, mmm, dim sum. I'm overdue for a visit to Sweet 'n' Tart on Mott St. Mmmm. Greasy and delicious.

Squeak!

I didn't know that commericial is a classic!

Bwahahaha! Christ needs to get jiggy with it.

I'm jealous that you can eat dim sum. I had vegan shiu mai (bought it from Whole Foods) the other day, and to quote edda, it's not of the Lord.

You have a vegan house, eh? Like, you couldn't cook up some proper meat dumplings if you got them?

Not if I want to stay married.

Dang. We gotta get you out of the house one of these days.

*sympathies*

We'd be like Thelma & Louise, driving our car off the cliff, and into a dim sum restaurant

If we do it in TX, yes. If we do it in NYC, it'll be that imaginary el from "Spiderman 2," and we'll be dangling from a subway car and let go and fall into... Sweet 'n Tart. Mm. Flakey turnip cakes. Almond-crusted shrimp. Sweet buns with eggy centers. *tempts*

This is just like the Temptation of Christ.

idlerat April 30 2005, 15:26:42 UTC

Precisely like.

la_sonnambula April 30 2005, 17:07:18 UTC

Get thee behind me, Dim Sum Tempter!
