…It’s free-free-free, in fact.
So this coming Thursday, December 20, I’ll be chatting with all interested parties, except Lou Dobbs, here on this very blog.
Among the topics to discussed:
1) My long-time passion for COMPETITIVE GLASSBLOWING;
2) My new book “BLUEBERRIES: NATURE’S LITTLE DEATH MACHINES;”
and
3) The startling connection between Nathan Lane and… HITLER!
And if Rifftrax comes up, I can roll with it, I guess.
This will be a bit of an experiment, since the blog hasn’t been used for such a freakish purpose before. So we’ll be adjusting as we go, and medicating appropriately.
Please save any questions for when we post the blog Thursday, then I’ll get through as many as I can, on and off, for three hours or so. I promise good will, but not coherence. Looking forward to it!
Details…
WHAT: Chat with Bill “Fedora” Corbett
WHERE: The Rifftrax Blog.
WHEN: Thursday, December 20, 10 AM — 1 PM., Pacific Time. (Eastern Time: 1 PM — 4 PM)
Black tie, please.
Until then, sit back, pour yourself a tumbler of Shiraz, and enjoy this picture of Larry Hagman and the gang…

Not so startling then, I guess.
How about ALAN THICKE and STALIN?
Reply from Tim on December 17, 2007:
Not there’s a connection that sounds shocking.
Did Joe Stalin sing the theme song to the Soviet version of Different Strokes?
Reply from Tim on December 17, 2007:
“Now”. Not “not”.

I’ve been waiting for this for YEARS. Those damn blueberries have it coming. Callin’ themselves “superfruits” and walkin’ around like they own the place.
Sorry. I just get so worked up.

Blueberries need to be taken DOWN, man. And while it puts me in considerable personal danger to go up against the powerful blueberry-industrial complex, well… someone has to do it.

What about the connection between Gary Coleman and Ho Chi Minh? Eh?

To be explored in future chats. The details are shocking, aren’t they?
Reply from Mr. Slick on December 18, 2007:
shocking? No, down right frightening!

Spatula and I won’t be able to make the chat, as we will be traveling on our way to spoil and warp our nephews, but thank you very much for taking the time to talk to your fans. It makes us feel like you don’t fear us– which, of course, you have every right to.

Hey, if I’m the victim of a ritual killing, I say I’ve brought it on myself.
Happy holidays to you and the Spatster.

And a happy Life Day to you and yours, FRIEND.

But the real question is, will Larry Hagman be involved in this chat?
Oh he won’t?… Will Patrick Duffy?
…
Well I guess I’ll still show up.

Intimately. Tenderly, even.
(Ugh. Just made myself a bit ill.)
Reply from Courtney on December 18, 2007:
Bill, you shouldn’t be ashamed if you want to hold Larry Hagman ever so gently. It doesn’t make you less of a man.
Reply from Bill Corbett on December 18, 2007:
Thank you.

With all of the reruns of the world series of poker on ESPN 2, I never get to see good competitive glassblowing anymore. Is Raoul “Shards” Mc Initosh still the world champ?

What about river dance? I think Hitler would have been great in that, maybe Mr.(or is it Mrs.) Lane should do a Broadway show River dance ode to The Rise and fall of the Third Reich, with stockings, flowing silk undergarments and all. Matthew could play Hitlers Mistress!
The real question is would Hitler/lane look good in a head band?

Competitive Glassblowing! Woohoo! Isn’t it broadcast on ESPN 9 or something?
Either way, I like your flair for dangerous decorative art projects.

Bill, I don’t know how you can even bring up the topic of competitive glass blowing after what happened two years ago. That poor man. He was warned not to blow glass with hiccups, but would he listen? No…. The thrill of the competition was too much of a pull for him.

Reply from Brian O. on January 3, 2008:
Now the poor devil can only blow glass with the other orifice, after eating a pound of beans.

I have to say I’m disappoined that Lou Dobbs is not invited. Who will bring the fake outrage now? Who will don the mantle of xenophobia in his absence?

12 Merat(Ginzu) on Dec 18, 2007 at 11:34 am
I think we should invite all the pundits to this little “talk” of Bill’s. Its being held directly below the launchpad of the spaceshuttle at Kennedy on January 10th, right?
[Reply to this]
13 Queen Bee on Dec 18, 2007 at 1:09 pm
(former KSC educator mode on)
Actually, “directly below” the pad would be theoretically fine, as long as you avoid the solid rocket boosters and three Shuttle main engines on the mobile launch platform. There’s a bunker down underneath the pad left over from the Apollo days, with plenty of water and MRE’s. The astronauts go in there during their emergency training.
So: Fedora, excellent conversation, a wicked sound show, and thou. Sign me up.

Well. Sign me up as long as Lou Dobbs isn’t going to be there, I mean. Then the conversation isn’t going to be so excellent.
Reply from Merat(Ginzu) on December 18, 2007:
Does it…uh… does it lock…you know… from the outside?
Reply from Queen Bee on December 18, 2007:
That’s contingent whether or not Lou Dobbs is, indeed, involved.

Okay, but… you have to promise to call it a “chlog.”

Hey Bill!
I Finally got the internet connected down here at our vacation home in Mexico finally after a week of being here.
Mucho Cervezas & Tequilas have made it hard to remember a lot of it..
Can you do me a favor and twist Mike’s arm a bit to get you, him & Kev to riff DUNE (the original 1984 version) sometime in 2008? That’s my only ‘X-mas’ wish for the new year.
Thanks, and I’ll drink a few more for you guys this evening!

Hi - Keeba!!!
MR. BILL , how do I get an autographed picture from you?

Hi Bill
So the Steelers take on the Rams tonight. And while I have a zany feeling the Rams will upset, I’ll leave it to you ~ Fedora ~ to decide who I put my money on.
Mind you my family’s entire Christmas rides on your answer, but y’know, no pressure.
Thanks!

After reading about your love for Billy Jack, I have to say: Billy’s girlfriend always reminded me, for some reason, of urine. Like, what urine would look like if it took on human form. I guess I’m wondering if this sort of reaction is common to people watching Billy Jack, or if I’m alone there? Thanks!
