Salute your Shorts: Any love?

Tried to do the sick trick they did in one of the first few episodes one time.

It's the one where Budnick and the new kid at camp make the fake puke and toss it all over Ug and stay in the infirmary all day eating ice cream.

It didn't work.

Stupid Budnick ideas.

All I know is that Zeke the Plumber freaked my shit out.

I will say that Pete and Pete holds up remarkably well, and is probably better now that I know who Michael Stipe and Iggy Pop and Steve Buscemi and Janene Garafalo actually are. And that the theme song is about the Kent State shootings.

HOLY SHIT. I tried that as well. NO FUCKING GO, I just got yelled at for wasting food.

[BudLeonard]

Hahhaha I can't believe I was ever scared of that. (It's still a little scary.)

Now Black Aggie (not related to SYS). That's still a scary bitch. Why hasn't Supernatural done a story about her yet?

[Abraham Smashington]

I'm with you. It is kinda freaky. Oh Ugg.

[BudLeonard]

Turns out I remember more of these episodes than I thought. The treasure hunt one where they tear up Ugg's field, Ugg and the mail lady (which was sweet), the Budnick-Dina two parter, the dance one, the one with the play and a giant chicken, the secret society episode, the capture the flag episode where Donkeylips triumphs, the triva episode that taught me giraffe's tongues are black...

[Captain Russ]

It's pretty awesome to have all of the memories come flooding back like this.

It's sad that I was only watching a TV show, but still kinda amazing how the long term memory works.

(They used toothpaste in their vomit concoction, no shit it wouldn't work. DAMMIT YOUNG RUSS.)

[Abraham Smashington]

I remember all of those. I honestly wouldn't mind watching some of these episodes at some point. Man, I still remember when Ugg had Michael (and Budnick?) hold out those buckets of water for like 30 mins or whatever. My dad walked in and said there is no fucking way anyone would ever make me do that, or he'd kick their asses. Good ol' dad. haha

[BudLeonard]

I've been working in camping full time since 2005, part time since '02, and I can honestly tell you that there are moments when you wish you could. Like, for example, every goddamn day.

Also, the episode where ZZ tried to save the planet. And the episode where Ugg made Pinskey and Telly clean up with their crutches. Oh, and the wrestling episode where Brain and Donkeylips bonded, which was the first time I ever had a TV show tell me "kid, it doesn't matter if you're uncool now, the geeks will inherit the earth." Thanks, Salute Your Shorts.

[Captain Russ]

I know it is dumb question, but which episode had Ugg cutting the grass with scissors?

I have a feeling it was the capture the flag one, but I can't be sure now.

Agree somewhat with Bud. But then there are times where you feel like you've taught the kids something worthwhile, and you can never be held responsible.

Also: girls' camp counselors. WIN.

[BudLeonard]

That was the treasure hunt episode I mentioned above. They were looking for the secret treasure of Anawana, and Budnick isolated all his buddies, even Donkeylips, and wound up digging a big-ass hole in the middle of Ugg's immaculately cut field and bursting a water main.

Cooksey was also the voice of one of the Tiny Toons, Sam, I think. I think that's how he makes a living now is doing voice-over work.

Donkeylips is, no shit, friends with Sean Bateman from Chud.

He was Montana Max.

[Abraham Smashington]

Fuck Max. Hated him as a kid.

[Captain Russ]

Thanks for the info Bud.

Now...to go ruin the nostalgia!
