Episode #1190

[It's up to the first poster to come up with a set up, and then each following post will either complete it or fill in the blank(s). And, as always, whoever posts the set up is certainly allowed to post their own completion/fill in as a follow up.]

 

Complete this phrase: "And now, Stella - now that I've loosened up your inhibitions with alcohol - do you know what I'm going to do with this cigar? Well, I'm going to...!!"

Pick one up and smoke it sometime.

try to impale myself on it as a bit of inept foreshadowing

   Good ones, Magnus and Uncle Roger!!    (But how quickly you forget Bill Clinton!)

 

I was going for a different kind of reference, the vintage Edie Adams commercials for Muriel cigars. Or Susan Anton, of a bit less vintage.

(  I'd totally forgotten that Susan Anton did those ads too!!  )

 

Well, MB, a lot of people have forgotten Susan Anton altogether. 

(  That might be true...though I still remember her and the appearances she made on the various talk and variety shows...)

(Though now that I think about it, not that I saw it, but wasn't she in one of the Sharknado TV movies?)

 

There was that extremely campy serial that was part of NBC's Cliffhangers where the very plucky Ms. Anton found herself in one precarious situation after another. She was supported and hindered by Michael Swan, Marj Dusay and Ray Walston. It was titled Stop Susan Williams! Which NBC did rather abruptly, as the final cliffhanger was left unresolved.
More recently, Susan played the Velma Van Tussle part in a production of Hairspray that sounded like a blast.
