I beg your pardon if this has already been covered, but I'm new to this
newsgroup.  Could someone please fill in the words to the second line of
the LOG song? -- It rolls down stairs
Something something in pairs
Rolls over your neighbor's dog
etc. etc. Please tell me what should go in place of "something something"
Every time I listen to that damn song I can't quite figure out what they're
saying.   Thanks

I just a  Ren and Stimpy magazine. It costs 2.50 it's very thin and features
interviews with John K. and Billy West. It's in a similar vien as The Simpsons
mag. I really wasn't impressed though. R&S deserve better than a third rate
over priced magzine.

OK, I just have a few questions:

1.  I heard John K. and crew were fired because of late episodes and
later unacceptible/unairable material was added to this list.  This true?

2.  Nick is looking for a new group to do R&S.  Tt?

3.  Will there be a video release of Ren & Stimpy any time soon?

4.  What's going on with the R&S comic book?

5.  Are there "unaired" episodes, as was asked in a previous post?

It must be because he farts and R&S really like it,
the pope sticks his head between PTM's buttocks,
the poop(sorry intentional typo for humor) grabs PTMs
buttocks tenaciously with both hands, the president has
his zipper stuck and looks like a blithering idiot(what's new)

painful of predicaments, and cause they show Muddy Mudskipper

I'll put up more reasons if you like.
But the closet reason is (cheesy intro music please);

NICK sucks.  They probably fired whoever was supposed to 
censor the shows before they were broadcast in the first 
place.  Corporate scum.  Attack. Exterminate. (stop it)

There is a picture of Mr. Horse on the wall in Ren's bedroom.  Look for it
just after Stimpy comes in to give Ren his daily spleen cleansing.

Also:

Rubber Nipple Salesmen: The psychotic, Jeffrey Dahmer-esque walrus kidnapper.
(Why is he wearing rubber from head to hoof?  Cuz he's a killer and a 
dismemberer...Maybe!)

Out West: The 2 ignorant fellows hire R&S to be horse thieves so that they
can have an excuse to hang them.  (Not that it ever stopped those guys from
hanging people before, cf. Old Lady Crenshaw).

Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 13:39:48 GMT

"You *EEDIOT*!  You opened the bag!  Now the comic ees WORTHLESS!" are the 
words under the huge nose adorning the polybagged R&S #1.  As I opened the bag,
the familiar odor of mildew wafted out.  But I did not panic that the comic was
already decomposing, for I knew that the odor was my Stimpy Air Fouler!  Okay, 
on with the review.
     First Story:  Ren & Stimpy Go Bad : Stimpy is squealing over the Kitty 
Krapper 5000 in the window of a pet store.  When Ren tries to pull him away, 
Stimpy's tongue won't come off, and the window is broken.  After they steal 
various things and escape Mall Cops, they become Crime Kings, eluding capture 
until an announcer guilt-trips Stimpy into calling 1-800-555-FINK.
     High points: Parody of Hostess ads, with PTM capturing the Crime Kings 
(well, robot doubles actually).  Stimpy's conscience (Ren as devil, Stimpy as 
angel).  Godfather 3 ripoff scene. Log for Dog at pet store.

     Short Subject: Ren Hoek for President : "So read *my* leeps!  Vote for me
and the bucks stop here, een my tightly grasped *feests*!  HA HA HA hA HA!  I
got your treeckle down theory *right here*, pal!"  Great segment, if you have
the access to it, get a color copier and make a poster of this 2-pager.

     Second Story: CH&CS - Alien Attack : Okay Aliens parody.  Best part is 
ending, where physical laws are suddenly enforced.

     Ask Dr. Stupid: Not that good, but presumably will improve when actual 
people send in questions.  The part telling how to send in a question is 
funnier than the actual segment.

     WWDTT: Gross.  Which is good.

     Overall:  The art is very good, insomuch as it portrays the demented duo 
well.  Stimpy usually is closer to 'real' than Ren.  The writing is fair.  It 
relies on old cliches a bit too much, instead of creating new cliches.   I give
the issue overall, DDDD (four orange slices out of five)

I'm new to this group, but I'm a long time Ren n'Stimpy fan.  Now I'm
wondering if anyone can confirm the rumors that Nick fired John K (the
creator and the voice of ren) about 2 weeks ago.  I read about in
clari.news.somethingorother .  Anyhow, a response would be aprreciated.
On the Howard Stern Radio show a few days ago, Billy West (Stimpy) began
to do some Ren as well...will he be replacing John K?

People seem to be having problems finding the R&S Film Threat issue,
so here's how to get your very own issue:

Film Threat (The Other Movie Magazine)
December 1992 (Issue No. 7, Volume 2)
ISSN 0896-6389
Single copies can be ordered for $5.00 each from:
     Film Threat Back Issues Dept.
     9171 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 300
     Beverly Hills, CA  90210

Better yet, subscribe to this fine magazine (only $11.85 for 6 issues--it
is a bimonthly publication) by calling the subscriptions director, Irene
Gradstein at (818) 760-8983.

Be sure to read the very fine print at the bottom of page 3:

"SMACK! Here's a manly kiss and hug for 'Ren & Stimpy' creator
 John Kricfalusi.  His deluge of artwork and info made this cover
 story a real ball-buster."

First, sorry about the wide distribution. The news reader wouldn't let
me limit this to the Bay area or CA.

I can't find Film Threat anywhere in the Bay area. The one
place that claims to get it says that the most recent issue they have
is Sept. No sign of December yet. Soooo, if you found Film Threat with
the Ren & Stimpy contents, can you please tell me where you got it? Oh

Hello

I am looking for a particular LA Law episode from the 90-91 TV season when  
Mike Cusack along with Grace and Victor and 'Michelle Greene' and started  
his own firm and the court case against them really started.  

It was aired back in March/April 91 when the Sacramento Good Guys was  
raided by a gang of people and held hostage.  The channel repeated it at  
some ungodly time and I was unable to catch it.  

Please if you have it, or know someone that has it, I implore you to help  
me.  This is the only episode I have missed.  Also, I did not discover  
this news group until today!!

If you are a fan and want to chat about LA Law, I'm here now!!

It was not a 2001 "reference" so to speak. People on this newsgroup

	Not sure if the music is right out of S&H, but is was clearly intended
to be a parody of generic car chase music from cheesy 70's cop shows.


>I thought that the music during Homer's dream where God takes off the
>roof of the house was straight out of _Raiders of the Lost Ark_

	NOT! Come on, now, John Williams did the Raiders score. I think
Danny Elfman would choose from his own repertoire first. Besides, if you
listen closely, you will hear that that music is reminiscent of
music used in the Batman films for which Elfman did the score.
No, it's not a Batman reference - more like a composer's style coming
through.

	Please! Enough of these idiotic attempts to find references
which are clearly not there.

Well, I must say that this strikes me as a STUPID concept to bring up.
There is NOTHING pornographic about a cat licking its butt. That's what
cats do. My cat does it all the time, and I find nothing dirty about it,
as that's how they clean themselves. If you want anything that might
border on potential pornography, how about the recurring theme of Bart
taking snapshots of his butt? (Seperate Vocations, Homer's Night Out)
