The Brady Bunch…a retrospective

Not a retrospective of the show for which they became famous, The Brady Bunch, but rather a restrospective of the show in which they pissed away the tattered, post-Cousin Oliver remains of their showbiz legacy, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour.

First up, from YouTube's Bradynut:

A musical tribute (edited by Cindy Brady herself, Susan Olsen) to what is often considered one of the strangest shows ever produced. Props out to Sid & Marty Krofft for the wonderful memories and vivid nightmares.

And hey, wasn't there some sort of Dead-Paul controversy over that show? Why yes, there was.

Bradynut's Fake Jan video:

Here's the Story, of a Fake Jan Brady, who became one of three very lovely girls, all of them had hair of gold, like their mother, but she was just a clone!

as the commentor said, at least Fake Jan could sing.

Heartlessly stolen from the Waiterblog, because I tried, but I cannot go 24 hours without posting…particularly when I see I'll get fewer than 200 hits for this day.

Gah!

mug shot o’ the week: the hobbit poisoner

The Hobbit Poisoner

Yes indeedy, according to The Smoking Gun, teenage Rosie Cotton-lookalike Katherine Smith was understudying a fifteen-year-old for the lead in a high school play when she decided to take the casting into her own hands.

Having spread the word to family and friends that she was actually playing the lead in the school's production of the no-doubt immortal "Ha," she then dosed the actual star's Mountain Dew with Clorox bleach.

Ah, if Bruce Springsteen gets ahold of this story, teenage ballads will never be the same.

Perhaps he should collaborate with Nick Cave.

Smith, who used an eye dropper to place bleach in the 20-ounce soda bottle, told a school administrator that she wanted to harm the lead actress "so she could not perform in the play." Smith's plot was thwarted when the girl smelled an unusual odor emanating from the Dew. Pictured [above] in a Tarrant County Sheriff's Office mug shot, Smith faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of the spiking bid.

what if???
