OT: One More Off Topic Off Season Thread

[bellagiobob]

The legendary Professor Proton!!! This is probably who many young people think of when they think of Newhart!

I loved the original Bob Newhart show, but Newhart was my favourite. What a great collection of characters including Larry, Daryl and Daryl.

Newhart was a great show. All time classic series finale.

As Wilhauk Beef Jerky says, no one wins friends with salad!

Homer Simpson started that. Thieves

One of my favourite comedians, with such a deadpan unique delivery. Just saw him last night in an episode of The Big Bang Theory, still funny even though I've watched it numerous times. RIP Bob.

One of the best, no doubt. The Newhart Show was fantastic and must watch in our house for many years.

Brings back a lot of memories. Was a fun place back in the 60’s and 70’s.

This is proof that some smart people are dumb - or corrupt, just like the file.

They send these updates out all the time, but instead of sending them out to a few banks first, you know, like as a test or something, they send it out to...

Newhart was a great show. All time classic series finale.

One of the great episodes was when he had an unexpected guest on his book club show, Colonel Lloyd Meninger. One of the all time classic clips. Newhart didn't even have to speak at times, his facial expressions spoke a thousand words and laughter.

Yup, so many great memories. I remember working night crew at Safeway and then going home and meeting at the pool with another guy on the crew and sleeping in the bleachers and sunning all day long, with the odd swim and checking out the babes.

Is it just me or does Paul Maurice look a lot like Bob Newhart? Similarities end there though, Maurice sure as hell isn’t funny.

He's up there with Rickles now. Amazing to know two polar opposites in their styles of their industry were the absolute best of friends. Silent stars of course, but Jack Benny really pushed the expression response, went to Newhart and Carson who mastered it and I'd say the only person these days who understands the straight man response is Conan O'Brien.

RIP to Newhart. Absolute king.

Speaking of Keith Richards, if anyone is looking for a good read I definitely recommend his autobiography.

Here is an example of a little princess whose parents never said "No" to her along with having plenty of safe spaces and trigger warnings in college.

I did not know that

Would this be the equivalent of Canada barely beating Thailand in hockey?

I thought she was trying out for the All Blacks and doing the traditional chant.

I was thinking demonic possession but you’re probably right.

My intense dislike of flying is mostly due to being trapped in a sardine can with random others where you cannot get out. At least on a train you can deboard at next stop if the patrons are a problem. Or they can be deboarded. On long flights you are stuck.

Not sure how much this happens with other people but half the flights I've taken have involved long delays on the tarmac with passengers boarded, and stuck or delays in schedule. I'm not claustrophobic but I can't stand being trapped in these things.

Our flight home last week there were 2 people in front of us arrested at the arriving gate for being drunk and disorderly. People just dont know when to quit nowadays it seems. Coming out of Covid the flying has been a royal mess and we fly a lot. That said it has started to improve somewhat recently.

I think I get it. If I see some mosquitos sucking my blood from me, don't kill them because they will provide food for bats and other such creatures.
