[quote=rickers;11804867]Three more you gotta see.
Lawrence Welk is the only place you'll see a pink stagecoach and that Macarena guy may have stolen his idea from the chicken dance !
Do the folks in the last one really know what it means to be "One toke over the line" !


The only thing that would have made this more ridiculously funny is if the Lennon Sisters would have sung it.... .....it was their most famous song and it was written as a joke.....

Shuffleboard and piano lessons and bible reading at moms folks, --
roping, riding, camping, off-roading, shooting and lots of John Wayne movies and Lawrence Welk at my dads folks ranch.
And all those champagne bubbles......and a one and a two.....
He always mispronounced something with his Dakota (???) accent, but I can no longer remember what it was.....it made us laugh every time....but he laughed all the way to the bank....

It looks like a game of pool on the ice.....

What is the purpose of them (gee, don't even know how to describe it), fanning/shaving/whatever the ice in front of it to keep it going? Are they creating some type of inertia? Do they get penalized if they physically (with their bodies, skates, hockey stick thingies), bump the other balls/disks/thingies at the end? (I probably know the name of those things because they are familiar, but I certainly haven't seen them used in this type of game).

I watch the olympics, both summer and winter.....I can't believe I did not know about this!

I dated an ice hockey player while in college.....they occasionally played broom ball when they didn't want to totally suit up.....this kinda reminded me of broom ball...

If I had the choice of watching roller derby or the Lawrence Welk show I would be hearing polka and seeing bubbles in a heartbeat. I still watch the re-hashing version of the Lawrence Welk show every chance I get.
But those disks/weights/thingies aren't used in shuffleboard, right? I am trying to remember where I have seen them before.... I HONESTLY had never heard of curling.....

Roller Derby was on Saturday nights.....after 'wrasslin'..... all on black and white tv, of course......

Don't forget the Ed Sullivan Show and The Red Skelton Show.

Brings a smile to your face just thinking about all those wonderful characters Mr. Skelton portrayed.

Red Skelton is still on, I forget which channel, t.v land maybe. He was funny to.
I love Lucy was hilarious to.
What about leave it to Beaver, and this is a little newer, but Little house on the
prairie was one of my favorites.

Yup, Leave It To Beaver was a great show, When Ward would come home from work and take his coat off, June would say;
"Ward, please take it easy on the beaver tonight. Wally has been really hard on the beaver all day" !!!
