Gargamel Twinsy

A friend recently pointed out how much John Lithgow and Gargamel look a like. And I'd have to agree. There's the maniacal superiority complex they both share. Never mind the fact that behind closed doors, Lithgow likes wearing black dresses and creating duplicitous female Smurfs (are there any other kind?) in bubbling caldrons. 

I never forgave Lithgow for beating out Jerry Seinfeld and Gary Shandling for the Emmy b/c Third Rock from the Sun was vastly inferior. Other undeserving bastards who won Emmys? I'm looking at you Tony Shalhoub and Michael Chiklis.

Smurf-tastic!

I am a Smurf purist. Almost to the point where I would prefer to watch it in french. No, not really. But I did hate the nouveau Smurf gang that consisted of Sassette (who does she think she is? Laura Smurfin' Ingalls?), Grandpa Smurf and the mute Wild Smurf (more like "Retard Smurf", just kidding, people who can't talk aren't retarded...). Anyway, I just recently realized that Jokey Smurf is really just "Terrorist Smurf" or "Ted Kaczynski Smurf". Think about it - all Jokey did was give his friends explosive "presents". And how dumb were the rest of the Smurfs for falling for it time after time? 

My brother got a Baker Smurf figurine on his birthday cake one year and I was really, really jealous. I used to hide it in his AT-AT along with my Barbies to keep the Imperial stormtroopers company. My mother deemed this pairing "unsuitable".
