I know who the Coneheads are and I know they are definitely from France.

definitely! sans faute! (which is what translate told me is definitely but is, in fact, apparently without fault. so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

this was hysterical. also I do not do scary either and I am absolutely capable of dropping someone to the ground (but without hurting them) if need be so better not to go there.

Glad you laughed!!! I wasn’t allowed to watch SNL as a kid but I’d sneak watch it anyway and would die laughing at the Coneheads

they were hysterical.

I’m older than you, so that was just after high school for me.

when I was very little, I would sneak down the hall and sit at the edge of the fireplace and watch Johnny Carson. (my parents watched him.)

then if one of them was getting up, I’d run as fast as I could down the hall and jump into bed. because that was 100% stealth. 🙄

I laughed multiple times while reading this. So, score! Also my mom's bug-eyed Boston Terrier who scratches my legs everytime I see her is named Winifred. As you'll see in your Substack stats, I read this post two times. The first time, I got half way through and got distracted (?) And, then on my second read through I decided to starte from the end of the post up... worked like a charm (that says more about me than you). Do you ever do that? It keeps me focused somehow. Also, Paws Malone drew me in! The guy with the beard and chest hair saying your stuff is too wierd, is wierd. Does that give you double imposter syndrome? I hope not. Finally, my husband is disappointed he won't get to see Fixed! He asks, Is there no hope? Keep it up Thig, I dig Thig posts!

I am just getting to some of these comments (I don’t get alerts for them!). And oh yes I zoom through pictures of an article first, then go back and read it second. As far as FIXED!, the movie? Well, I don’t know. I don’t even know if I’m allowed to talk about the plot ,show the work I did on it as I’m not with Sony at the moment. I know the movie Nemona (Netflix) was shut down and I was good friends with a lot of people on that show, and it got rebooted years later. So there’s always hope. My guess is that Genndy and Scott Wills (the directors) are busy on other projects. I think the thing that hit me the most was that the producer of FIXED! Said “the movie will happen, regardless”… narrator “it didn’t happen”

I need to highlight that - in one small, almost dismissed portion of your post there’s a catastrophe of epic proportions happening right under your nose! Sable! Feed Sable some treats - STAT! Also - wouldn’t it be a lovely gesture to get Winifred another Star Wars collectible as a Halloween gift? Just sayin’..

We really have talked about getting Sable one of those little water treadmill things. Like all our animals, she’s a rescue and we spoil her rotten. In all honesty I don’t I could fit another Star Wars thing in my office but man I’d try for sure.
