Without looking it up...
« on: October 30, 2020, 12:13:59 AM »
I only ask, because my wife is going as Dana Pumpkins at preschool tomorrow. She said a lot of her co-workers hadn't heard of it. Which is oddly appropriate.

Never heard of it. Am I too young or too old?

I'm betting old.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

If your wife is dressing up as Dana Pumpkins, why do we care if we have ever heard of David Pumpkins? Are they man and wife? Father and daughter? Mother and son?

Holy Grimolies.  A pun in Spanglish.

Never heard of the Pumpkins family.

The David S. Pumpkins sketch was the one that went viral, but Black Jeopardy was the best of that episode.

That explains it.  SNL.  I've never liked that show. That sketch was just stupid, but it seems that stupid sells these days.

What Fly 320s said, never saw the sketch, so can't judge it, but agree with "stupid sells," viz. today's penchant for adopting stupid animal mascots.

Last mascot I thought was OK was Erin Esurance, and she got Rule 34ed.

Most students have heard if you don't know the answer you should always pick C on a multiple choice question.  By the same token, if Detcord or Bacon are mentioned in any of the answers there you should pick that one.

I thought David Pumpkins was one of those sketches that had really worked its way into the culture. Maybe not.

Yeah, I've watched the latter sketch a number of times. I think it's pretty fascinating that SNL could come up with a sketch like that.
