my-crow-soft> why do i have to type with one hand waiting for this ?
Ironf> He needs some ointment if he has to scratch like that.
Balthayzr> That's quite enough Incest Phallic Imagery, thank you.
Cthulhu> Gee, just because your brother sexually molested you with a rubber knife....
my-crow-soft> come on... nudity... my hand is getting tired here...
BEMaven> wind tunnel afros never caught on, did they?
Balthayzr> "We're going to a white elephant sale. It's swell, you know."
GersonK> 'C'mon, I don't consider it a date if both of us come home alive.'
Cthulhu> Did he steal that car from the French embassy?
Cthulhu> So where is Ortega?
Balthayzr> Having offered her a stuffed animal, the alpha male moves in.GersonK> This was back in the days before changing rooms, so guys wore their clothes two sizes too tight.
Cthulhu> The Tilt-o-Vomit.
Balthayzr> Bathroom sanitized for your comvenience....during the Prussian War.
my-crow-soft> "god is watching you !"
Balthayzr> Boy, Tammy Faye is ugly without her makeup.
Balthayzr> Of course, she's ugly with it....
BEMaven> "i hate people who preach...especially in bathrooms."
my-crow-soft> you know god is watching you and your one handed games.

Balthayzr> "Here's a cow addicted to chewing tobacco!!!!"
my-crow-soft> the two headed cow ?
BEMaven> in the next booth..."the Amazing Two-Armed Man"
GersonK> and the amazing one-handed typist!
Balthayzr> It's the booth where all the carnies keep their Livestock lovers.
Cthulhu> It's a pro-life ad.
Plumm> the incredibly strange teenagers who died and became mixed-up crapfilm stars.my-crow-soft> watch a dead fetus... girls like it.

Cthulhu> Riff Raff!
GersonK> Donald Sutherland?
my-crow-soft> "please step into the coffin.."
GersonK> Somehow, my dates always bolt when _I_ ask them to step into the coffin.
Balthayzr> A good carnival keeps lots of coffins around, just in case.
Balthayzr> Vlad the Impaler was the star of many porno films.
Cthulhu> I thought they called Vlad "Snuffy."
Balthayzr> I thought the Impaler was a ride on the Midway.
BEMaven> is there a fish in her crystal ball?
Balthayzr> Cross my palm with cigarette coupons.
Cthulhu> You use Palmolive, don't you?
GersonK> If you kids don't stop laughing, I'm gonna pull this tent to the side of the room.
Balthayzr> 'I see you ruining your career making bad Tobe Hooper movies....'
Cthulhu> A tall dark stranger will come and change your pool water.
Balthayzr> Jason would have polished off about 7 kids by now.
Plumm> Come one, come all, to the kill the little kid booth!Cthulhu> Ma Belles' Samonela Palace!
Ironf> "She wriggles and she dances"
Balthayzr> 'They wiggle and they dance - and none of them will date me.'
GersonK> You know, I think they might just wiggle. Do you suppose, they dance too?
Balthayzr> This is not a real carnival. Too many sets of full teeth.
GersonK> Things to do on a date - peep into a peep show.
Ironf> "I have my own hole" ??
GersonK> Jimmy durante, pervert.
Balthayzr> He's doing scat!
BEMaven> i've seen scavenger sales with more nudity.
Ironf> No, just number 1.
GersonK> BEM - where do you shop?
Balthayzr> I demand someone start killing these kids immediatly.
BEMaven> Vegas, GK.
Balthayzr> Wow, I often had dreams of spending the night at a run-down carnival. Keep reaching for those dreams, kids!
GersonK> This movie reminds me a lot of my own life, in that it's very boring.
Cthulhu> Humpty Dumpty in a chamber of horrors?
Cthulhu> Jabba the Hut IS Bozo IN The Mikado.
BEMaven> hot sex on discarded peanut shells. yay.
GersonK> Going barefoot in the funhouse? Yech.
Balthayzr> This is always the case. We find a nice quiet spot for carny sex, and some monster
ruins it.my-crow-soft> hmm 80 year old whores don't come cheap you know...not that i've ever experienced any...
Balthayzr> I am so shocked that a member of the Fine Art of Fortune Telling would be a whore.
Ironf> Gypsies, tramps and thieves. I guess Cher was right.
* GersonK shrugs in amazement.
Cthulhu> Oh GOD!!!!!!
GersonK> Why was this made?
Ironf> please, no elderly gypsy ass. No none.
Balthayzr> Yes, nothing like 80-year-old cellulite to get a mutant hot.
Ironf> He just downloaded in his pants.
Plumm> In carny days, freaks come early, choke the gypsy and twirly-twirly...
Plumm> so while you're here, enjoy the view, hold on tight we'll muddle thru.
Cthulhu> By this time, Scooby and Shaggy would have already captured this week's villian.
BEMaven> yes, and donned 2 lame disguises, Cth.
my-crow-soft> i think the director went blind durring this part... which would explain all of this.
Cthulhu> You know, after that scene, my sex drive has been permanently destroyed.
BEMaven> when they said Tobe Hooper worked in television for awhile, i think they meant he
watched security cameras from a desk.Balthayzr> By "in television", maybe they meant Repair?
Cthulhu> No, he used to deliver them to people's houses.
Ironf> By television, they meant he used a remote one time.
Balthayzr> "No wonder the fat laughing lady is broken! There's an old whore clogging the gears up!"
Ironf> Now I can only charge half price.
BEMaven> 'dammit boy. do you think 80 year old whores grow on trees?'
GersonK> Carny shall not kill Carny. It is Carny law.
BEMaven> 'they may live in trees, but they don't grow in them.'
Ironf> Blame it on the bassonova, cause he plays so well.
Balthayzr> So, he's not so much of a mutant, as he is a spaz.
GersonK> Give him a sedagive!
BEMaven> 'we'll blame it on auto-erotic asphyxiation. she choked on a cucumber.'
Ironf> All that WAS NOT hidden in that Frank mask.
Plumm> movie, movie, movie.
GersonK> This guy is like a less attractive Joe Don Baker.
Cthulhu> GK, how can ANYONE be less attractive than Joe Don?
GersonK> Cthu, I dunno, but this guy's doing it.
Balthayzr> He looks like a 2-headed Andy Warhol.BEMaven> thanks to this flick, i no longer fear carnies... just nuclear war.
GersonK> Would somebody just die already?
Ironf> So her kid brother just happened to have the same idea as the drugged up teenagers. How CONVENIENT.
Balthayzr> How exactly did children try out for this part? "Can you wander around and stare at random things?"
GersonK> Thanks to this flick, I pray for nuclear war.
BEMaven> no, Balth...they asked the boys if they would stab a naked virgin girl in the shower. the line at the audition ran for miles.
Ironf> just give daddy sweet sweet lovin'.
Cthulhu> A touching Carny family moment.
Balthayzr> Could we please have more close-ups of his greasy T-zone?
GersonK> Balth - really, the grease extends beyound the t-zone.
Cthulhu> Well, they thinned out the cast quickly.
Ironf> please enjoy a funnelcake while your friends die.
GersonK> Much like the crew, by this point in the film, I just don't care anymore.
Ironf> I never started, so I saved time.
GersonK> "I can make you feel good"
Balthayzr> Monster 5 dollah sucky sucky.
Cthulhu> 'Nah... your not my type... not wrinkley enough.'
BEMaven> good thing she kept a bayonnet next to her mad money.
BEMaven> soo... I'm guessing Tobe Hooper has been deprived of role models.Balthayzr> I'm hoping Tobe Hooper has been deprived of an Actors and Directors Guild Card.
Ironf> I'm hoping Tobe Hooper has been deprived of life.
Cthulhu> Maybe that's why I'm so unlucky with love. I don't take a girl to a overnighter in a fun house.
Balthayzr> Tad, the Pickled Fetus. Does the HG need a mascot?
Cthulhu> Would that knife in the back slow him down a little?
Plumm> this movie is still being a movie.
Balthayzr> Carny-Fu!!
Balthayzr> Does that count as a railing kill?
my-crow-soft> let me check with the judges..
my-crow-soft> the judges say yes...
BEMaven> this dark greasy machinery room is symbolic of the director's head.
Balthayzr> So, they stole the last scene of the movie from Chaplan's "Modern Times".
Cthulhu> When you see a pair of huge gears in the first act, you better have someone ground to pulp by the last.
my-crow-soft> why is she getting all hysterical over a dirty filter?
Ironf> nice tongue action there, guy in mask.
Cthulhu> Screaming contest.
Plumm> she can't believe the movie is almost over.
my-crow-soft> what is it with the director and being hooked?BEMaven> he died as he lived... without proper lighting.
Balthayzr> He died as he lived... pretending to be a dress in a dry Cleaners.
my-crow-soft> he died as he lived... a virgin.
Balthayzr> I await the wacky scene where a portly security guard runs up and asks "What's goin' on here?"
Cthulhu> Can you say $20,000 in therapy?
Balthayzr> "Look, lady, it says right on the back of your ticket - Not Responsible for lost, stolen, or killed friends!"
Cthulhu> Yup.... she's gone.
Plumm> wow, remember when she found that scary earlier, my oh my the contrast the GROWTH OF CHARACTER.
Cthulhu> So she wanders off and neglects to tell anyone that there are 3 dead people and a mutant in there.
Balthayzr> 4 dead - don't forget dear old dad.
Ironf> 5, the whore.
Ironf> can't forget the whore.
Cthulhu> Oh, your right.
Balthayzr> Dummy courtesy of Sherri Lewis?
BEMaven> 3 friends, 1 whore, the freak and his daddy.
Balthayzr> Isn't that a NBC series, BEM?
BEMaven> not yet.
MARVEL At the Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie...
Cthulhu> The homo-erotic imagery in 1950s refreshment stand cartoons is startling.
