@mossygreen I just read there was an episode with a character who was into auto-asphyxiation. Some viewer tried it and died, their relatives sued, and the episode was lost forever. I wonder if that’s true.
@sammydog01 I’ve heard that too, never looked for it. On snopes they said it occasionally turns up on youtube, which is possible, since the original Soft Cell video for “Sex Dwarf” shows up and then is removed periodically. It’s too bad, because the snopes article also said it had boring, stereotypical portrayals of hippies, and that happens to be just about my favorite Hawaii Five-0 thing.
Just checked, youtube doesn’t have it, but does have the original Soft Cell video for “Sex Dwarf” again. Absolutely terrible quality, but watched it. Transsexual s/m meat orgy with chainsaw and maggots. A bold choice for 1981, made by young men who didn’t really want to be pop stars.
@mossygreen@sammydog01 I listened to that album a lot back then. Though Sex Dwarf wasn’t my favorite song. I don’t remember seeing the video you mention. But hey, it was the early 80’s!
@pmarin@sammydog01 Oh, it was banned. I read about it in the early '90’s in a book about Soft Cell and never thought I’d see the video. Crazy. Great album, though. So much more than Tainted Love.
@pmarin@sammydog01 Ah, but what if I told you they were transsexual prostitutes and that they left screaming once they realized maggots were being thrown at them? Now that I’m old, I do think it was bad to nonconsetually throw maggots on people.
Archie McPhee, they always bring a smile to my face! I bought a friend some hot dog flavored candies last month for his birthday, he said they taste how you would expect.
If you wrap an Archie McPhee rubber chicken inside of an Archie McPhee duck mask, and then shove it all inside this thing, you can get an Archie McPhee turducken.
@ShotgunX i would buy an inflatable John Madden head to keep me company while watching football. Will miss the yearly explanation of what is a turducken.
@jmkmeh sometimes Meh stuff ships much more quickly than the stated dates. Though if you were counting on serving this to guests on Thanksgiving, they might end up deflated.

@mossygreen Vudu had the complete run of Hawaii 5-0 on sale and I almost bought it.
@sammydog01 You’re a strong woman.

@mossygreen @sammydog01 That story left me breathless.

@mossygreen @pmarin Thank you for the description I think I’ll give it a pass.

If it can’t give me salmonella if I eat it raw, I don’t want it.
I bought a box of cat heads from Archie McPhee and now they send me actual paper catalogs in the mail. Any chance of Bigfoot merchandise?

Kind of annoying that they offer this too late to arrive for thanksgiving.
@phr You could probably order it direct from Archie McPhee and get it in time…
Yup, not in time for Thanksgiving. No thanks. Order canceled.
