Irony Curtain sends this oddball find. It’s an anti-smoking site, but we’re not totally convinced it does the exact opposite of what it’s trying to achieve.

    I couldn’t take the music. But smokers are generally interesting people…

    In my experience, cigarette smokers are generally friendlier people, cigar smokers are enviable people and pipe smokers are affectatious. Dope smokers are no longer in my circle of acquaintances and dick smokers never were.

    …not that there’s anything WRONG with that . . .

    These days, smokers are treated as second-class citizens. Inordinate taxes subsidizing other people’s children are just one example of how now it is okay to single out a group and persecute them just because you do not approve of their choices. This is just the tip of the liberal/socialist iceberg. They want to micromanage everyone’s choices, from smoking to what you want to eat. Hey! – What is legal today can be outlawed tomorrow! Make EVERY vote count!

    The manic Wah-Wah and everyone smoking their brains out….on TV!! What else needs to be said?

    Look, I’ve never smoked myself but I tell you, I’d rather see celebrities smoking their heads off than have them preaching Green EcoLunacy to me.

    I quit smoking last year. 22 years of Marlboro reds 1 pack a day. Quit cold turkey with no relapses.
    That non smoking website blows. it shows a bunch of people smoking on a gameshow. They looked cool doing it. I think I better grab a pack of Marbs on the way home.

    Not only did they smoke on the show but they were more often than not drunk off there arses as well. Too funny sometimes. It’s a rare glimpse of America before Politcal Correctness was shoved down our throats. I do believe it would freak the living hell out of a young progressive liberal were they to watch it now.

    “B-b-but, you can’t say that!!” Douchbags.

    When my daughter’s friend waitressed at night during college – she said that smokers were the best tippers, friendliest crowd. Also, 65 was the most number of bills you could deposit through an ATM. :-)

    This post didn’t bother me – I like to live and let live…..but Match Game was fun and I liked all those stars – Fannie Flagg is a favorite, though. I enjoy her stories.

    Has anyone else here ever noticed that the author of Fried Green Tomatoes, Fannie Flagg, couldn’t spell worth a shite?
    On Match Game she would get the most basic words all mangled. It was my favorite part!
    I love Fannie Flagg, that lovable rug muncher, NTTARWT.

    Match game was one of the best game shows ever. Grew up watching that game and it had more belly laughs and was more politically incorrect than you would ever believe.

    I’ve never smoked but grew up with smokers (mom, uncle, brother, now my wife) and I love the smell of a freshly lit cigarette. Brings back great memories and I would fight to the death for anyones right to smoke … cigarettes.

    That ol’ boy’s still alive?! Well I’ll be damned! He was the worst player on the panel…well, next to Bret Sommers anyway. And those two were always cheating off each other.

    Q: Did you hear about the thinnest book ever written? The title was “The Collected Wisdom Of ______.

    If I remember correctly, there were three or four Jimmy Carters LOL! But Reilly put down some frigging weird-ass name like Jogan Wilhemen or some such crazy thing. God he sucked…at Match Game.

    No CNR died awhile back. The twitter account is some guy that plays Match Games on Twitter. – bfh

    Mark, my dad’s boss and his wife came to stay with us every year at Christmas. Two solid days of Jim Beam, Johnny Walker Red and all the Garcia Vegas they could smoke in that time. That aroma, more than pine trees and cinnamon, is Christmas to me (and I would put Jim Beam behind my ears, knees and on my wrists – just to bring those memories all back again!)

    Um. Just before “Oh stewardess, I speak jive,” was the comment in response to the above question- something like History of Jewish Athletes. Of couse that was back when there was only Sandy Koufax.

    Talk about PC taking over.
    I heard Paul Lynde say this one on Hollywood Squares.

    Peter Marshall – Is it true that the continent of Africa is drifting towards North America?

    Paul Lynde – If it is, it’s good news for the purple Cadillac salesmen.
