Check it out, Beavis. That chick thinks she's like 18 and stuff.

I've always thought his laugh would be more "butthead". The "butthead" laugh would be the approriate one in the above context.

Actually, MTV2 has been broadcasting Beavis and Butthead again here in the US. I'm not sure which nights it's on but i've mostly seen it on the weekends. So while the show itself is old, perhaps she was flipping channels late one night looking for materials and came across it.

Not that I'm suggesting anyone as intellectual as Dowd would even have a TV.

It's more interesting to guess which B&B character MoDo identifies with.

I am the great Bush-holio! I will lay waste to your bunghole!

All terrorists will give me TP!

If she makes any Ace of Base references, I'm out of here.

"Heh heh heh - Dowd sucks!"

MTV NL has begun broadcasting B&B again, too, though I'm not sure they're new episodes. Hmmm, I think mr Bush is one for the Beavis-snigger. But if he managed to 'do' both, that's extraordinary. I don't how who Maureen Dowd is, but I suspect she wouldn't be out of place on the Idols jury. BTW, have you noticed that, every time our PM visits Bush, he comes back looking more fishy?

Heh, heh. She said "Bush".

"Uhh huh huh huh, check it out Beavis. Her face looks like the time you took a dump and forgot to flush the toilet for three days."

"Heh heh, oh yeah. That was cool. Heh heh heh."

Dowd always falls on her face when she "does" pop culture, like the intensely creepy column she did a year or so ago where she talked about how all of her boomer soccer mom friends have a thing for Eminem.

(shudder)

Am I the only one who'd like to bang the botox right out of Maureen Dowd? I mean, just bang it right the heck out of her? Hello? Hello?

Mo "Diarrhea" Dowd is down with the young people, alright.

:O

Not that I would ever defend Doud's point of view, but I must disagree here.

Beavis & Butthead are timeless.
Tragicly hip.

She actually appears to have completed a sentence as well. Good girl! Now you're getting somewhere!

The only way you can understand her idea of humor is if you, like her, have already drunk the kool-aid....

Jeez, must be a slow news day if that's the best bagging you've got, Tim.

Nothing wrong with referencing B&B. No more than say, Henry from Eraserhead. B&B had a unique manner of laughter. They were a duo. A cackling duo. Who the heck remembers which laughed which way? Who needs to know? Saying either Beavis or Butthead, would've been ambigious. You mean A Butthead or THE Butthead, etc. Saying Butthead, from B&B, would've been unneccessarily verbose. We know what she meant. Image evoked. No need to explain more.

Have another shot at Pilger. And don't give up until he's in G-Bay.

Verdict: case dismissed.

Maureen, Oxycontin and cheap gin do NOT constitute a good breakfast.

So he didn't answer the question then?

I like Pres Bush. I just figured out who he resembles.

"Ozzie" from "Ozzie and Harriet". The show which gave the world Ricky Nelson. In the show, Ozzie Nelson is a simple unaffected guy, with basic down-to-earth decency and common-sense, qualities sadly lacking in today's world.

An apt comparison.

Is it anything like Modo's Butthole snigger?

I'm still pissed I ordered the DVDs and found out they cut all the music videos out. Whats the point.

Dowdaria cha-cha-cha, Dowdaria cha-cha-cha, Dowdaria cha-cha-cha!
