Was just at the store and saw some people wearing costumes, some customers and some of the employees. I look over and there was a guy dress up in medical scrubs and I thought, meh buddy, kind of a over done costume. I did notice that he had a name stitched on it and I thought, umm... not a bad way to try and sell it and make the costume a little more interesting.

It shortly dawned on me that he probably wasn't wearing a costume and was just stopping in on his way home from work.

Meanwhile he's thinking to himself, What's that dude's problem? lol

I never get any trick or treaters, so I usually go out after work on Halloween. Stopped by Target on the way home, and they've already got the Halloween stuff cleared out and the Christmas stuff going up.

I'm not a die-hard, but I really do enjoy them. It's one of those shows I always pause on if I'm channel surfing. And I've made a reference during a bad workday to "Willoughby... next stop Willoughby!"


No one laughs or gets it.


I don't care.

It's actually one of the first episodes I remember watching - I couldn't have been more than eight or nine years old. Just stuck with me - that, and two others. When Marsha goes to the ninth floor of the department store to return a gift, and the one where the woman gets plastic surgery to fix her face. Watching stuff like that at such a young age kinda twisted me, I think.

Lol, I pass a Willoughby Street on the way home from work everyday, and always say "Next stop, Willoughby" when I get stuck at the traffic light there.

For me, there's the plastic surgery one (the gorgeous Donna Douglas, of Ellie May Clampett fame), Burgess Meredith dropping his glasses, The Shelter (threat of atomic war, everybody at the party wants in -- that one is a wonderful study of human nature), Willoughby, probably some others. Such conversations invariably contain exclamations of "Oh, yeah -- that one! Awww...!"


Twisted you? Interesting take. I have to say I find your profile answers charming in a quirky sort of way, not twisted at all -- especially "Khal-ee-forn-ee-aah." In my writing I'm prone to putting down accents of various sorts, enjoying the challenge of spelling and emphasis in order to convey something accurately.


Hmm, now I think on it, perhaps "twisted" is best. You poor thing!

Let's not forget the telepathic one, where the guy flips a coin to stand on its side and afterwards can hear everyone's thoughts. I remember watching that one and trying to flip a coin on its side for some time, trying to see if I could do it too.
