You know how the Howkawi got their name, don't you? They picked out a spot and said, "Where the heck are we?"
Janet the Wicked,
There is another "slightly" more ribald version of that joke regarding the famed "Howkawi" tribe, involving the "Fowkawi" tribe, and the "Where the 'expletive-deleted" are we?" punchline.
Of course, the great "F-Troop" was a tremendous spoof of the old West. I especially liked Larry Storch's character, Cpl. Randolph T. Agarn, the pride of Passaic, N.J., who always posed the question much too late in a conversation: "Who says I'm dumb?"
DLA75,
Yeah, I don't get the Me-TV Channel either, but I do get Antenna TV, which, imo, has broadcast "Dennis the Menace" (at the expense of a
much better show like "Leave It To Beaver") for far too long.
It's funny, but when I was a little kid, I loved watching "Dennis the Menace." However, now, as the decades have sped by, I find myself more readily relating with the understandably grumpy and curmudgeonly Mr. Wilson, who just wished that little brat next door would move away with his parents to some other town.
I understand that Me-TV broadcasts some other classic shows, such as "Hawaii Five-O" and the aforementioned "LITB." I hope we get it here in the mid-atlantic states sometime in the near future.
Gothick,
That nickname of "The Ancient Blood" for DS fans of a "certain" age is tremendous (and, alas, oh
so true).
The original fans of Dark Shadows, whom the late, great Louis Edmonds would often refer to as the "Dark Shadows kiddies," are now at a point in life where we are discussing our various medical procedures (including colonoscopies, PSA tests, and possibly botox and hair transplant procedures) with one another!
Oh, to be eternally young at heart like Ezra Braithwaite and Grandmama Edith Collins!
