Evening Activities with Friends

Submitted by Clancy on 9 January 2005 - 2:58am

Rather relaxed night at a friend's apartment:

J, walking into the room: Are you guys watching Hee Haw?

M: No, this is an infomercial for Hee Haw on DVD.

Friends, Indeed

I covet such friends who would: 1.) Immediately recognize Hee Haw upon walking in a room, and 2.) Not use such recognition to launch into a discussion in which I feel the need, as a defense, define the words "stereotype" and "kitsch" repeatedly. As a great man once said, "hold on to your friends".

Hee Haw

Submitted by Clancy on 11 January 2005 - 3:57pm.

The watching of Hee Haw was a bit, well, insincere, but we didn't have an academic discussion of it. A lot of the humor struck me as quite sexist, watching it now. I remember I used to love the tomboyish blond woman who wore overalls, and I like the cheesy segues between jokes that showed cartoon chickens, pigs, or donkeys laughing.
