4. Yep! And they are STILL SICK OF THE SWISS!!


Discovered by Lorne Michaels, creator of "Saturday Night Live", "The Kids in the Hall" - Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson - exploded into the American consciousness when their half-hour sketch comedy show debuted on cable's HBO in 1989. The 2008 tour, titled “Live As We’ll Ever Be”, represents a new era in the troupe’s collaboration, and is comprised of completely fresh material which simultaneously reflects who they are now and their patently off-kilter take on ordinary life. Favorite characters from the television series appear in entirely new situations, sharing the stage with new KITH personas which are destined for the same level of cult adoration. In a world where most entertainment tries to play it safe, “The Kids in the Hall” steadfastly refuse to follow the trend, preferring instead to slaughter sacred cows and look at the world – and each other – with refreshing honesty.

2. Real conversation at my parents' house:
Me (to my sister): HEY! Did you see that New Kids on the Block is back together and touring?

Sis: Yeah, kinda funny.

Dad: HOLY SHIT! Dying to go! Did you see how much the tickets are?

Me and sis look at each other quizzically

Me: No, dad... how much are they?

Dad: Over $200!! I want to go, but Jesus!

Me and sis look at each other MORE quizzically

Dad: I just love Dave Foley.

Me and sis: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You mean Kids in the Hall!!

:D
