You know you still got it when Mr. Metra Train Man doesn’t take your prepaid one way ticket and says, use it later to see me again and then proceeds to talk to you the entire ride (one hour). Yeah gurl. You still got it.
Just won my first ever even participated in eBay auction!!! My heart was beating, I was so nervous and wanted this suit so bad! I had been on a wait list for the halter top with Pin Up Girl and THEN they sent me an email that said, sorry, this will never be made again, ever. So bummed. I decided to Google and see if I couldn’t find something similar…. BUT low and behold… eBay is running a current bidding session of the EXACT suit I want and in MY size!?!? Hell yeah! So with 3 days to go… i watched every day… now the suit was super cheap currently, it has been used, but photos are close up and look great. So I watched…. and watched… and watched. The price went up about $20, still way less than half the original price and for part of this to be extinct… On day three I made sure to have all my ducks in a row. Pay pal up and working fine (i didnt know how paying worked), logged in to my newly made eBay acct and was watching the count down. Then at 5 minutes to close, i did it. I bid! Then I was out bid a dollar, so i bid again, and then out bid a dollar and then I bid 2 more dollars and it stopped. 3 minutes to go and no action… i watched the 3 min slowly disappear, kettle corn in one hand and chocolate almond mild in the other. Then i saw those awesome words, “You won this auction” Hell yeah i did. Hell. Yeah.
Bill Murray on Gilda Radner:
“Gilda got married and went away. None of us saw her anymore. There was one good thing: Laraine had a party one night, a great party at her house. And I ended up being the disk jockey. She just had forty-fives, and not that many, so you really had to work the music end of it. There was a collection of like the funniest people in the world at this party. Somehow Sam Kinison sticks in my brain. The whole Monty Python group was there, most of us from the show, a lot of other funny people, and Gilda. Gilda showed up and she’d already had cancer and gone into remission and then had it again, I guess. Anyway she was slim. We hadn’t seen her in a long time. And she started doing, “I’ve got to go,” and she was just going to leave, and I was like, “Going to leave?” It felt like she was going to really leave forever.
So we started carrying her around, in a way that we could only do with her. We carried her up and down the stairs, around the house, repeatedly, for a long time, until I was exhausted. Then Danny did it for a while. Then I did it again. We just kept carrying her; we did it in teams. We kept carrying her around, but like upside down, every which way—over your shoulder and under your arm, carrying her like luggage. And that went on for more than an hour—maybe an hour and a half—just carrying her around and saying, “She’s leaving! This could be it! Now come on, this could be the last time we see her. Gilda’s leaving, and remember that she was very sick—hello?”
We worked all aspects of it, but it started with just, “She’s leaving, I don’t know if you’ve said good-bye to her.” And we said good-bye to the same people ten, twenty times, you know.
And because these people were really funny, every person we’d drag her up to would just do like five minutes on her, with Gilda upside down in this sort of tortured position, which she absolutely loved. She was laughing so hard we could have lost her right then and there.
It was just one of the best parties I’ve ever been to in my life. I’ll always remember it. It was the last time I saw her.”- from Live from New York: an Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live
this is the best.
