Kirk Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Confession--I was raised on MAD magazine. Probably the single biggest influence in the formation of my sense of humor (for better or worse)--Kirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordharris Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I loved the art work(cartoon comic strips, especially when Jaws came out, the movie, the comic of Jaws was in the magazine.It was a pretty funny magazine to keep.The last page, where you fold from a -b to form a picture, I all ways looked forward for my next magazine, just to do that to find out what the picture would be.

Julie Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I must confess.....my brothers used to get MAD magazine and I loved reading it. I might still have the one with the Star Wars spoof in it....lol.--Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Can't recall much Calculus, or anything else from high school, but I can recall word for word a number of MAD magazine articles. I can still sing the drug song to the tune of "Home on the Range" (Home, Home is sure strange / where the folks get toked up everyday / where my lady and me get high on LSD / and the chicks turn their tricks for no pay).And to think, I was only about 8 years old at the time and had no idea what it meant!I guess they probably should have used MAD as a textbook in school - we probably would have ratained a lot more.Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I LOVE the word Blechhh! So descriptive! You didn't offend me. I just can't imagine it being attached to "She Rememebered." --D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I think the creator and writer of "Scrubs" on NBC must have been a big Mad Magazine fan growing up. He uses similar biting satire. I eat that show up. Although last night's Michael J Fox episode was a little weak in the writing for "Scrubstandard" quality.

Raspbernie Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Growing up, I thought that MAD Magazine artist Don Martin was a genius. I haven't seen any of his drawings in quite a while and am wondering if I'd still find them funny.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Benfer Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I couldn't resist buying the complete collection of MAD magazines on CD-ROM when it came out. That's REAL humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I'm sad if Don Martin passed away. He provided some real laughs for me. I loved his stuff. His passing is sort of like the end of an era. --D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Don Martin was the king of the written sound effect. I mean, how could anyone forget PFFFFFFLIFFFFTH? Or SPLOINK?Bernie :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoAnne Marie Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Well I totally disagree with Darlene and Marvin on this one. Celine Dion would TOTALLY ruin "Boats" on this one. She stinks for one and her voice is too screetchy and screaming for another. Let's try Madonna, Shania Twain or Jodie Massina BUT NOT CELINE!

Guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Well I totally disagree with Darlene and Marvin on this one. Celine Dion would TOTALLY ruin "Boats" on this one. She stinks for one and her voice is too screetchy and screaming for another. Let's try Madonna, Shania Twain or Jodie Massina BUT NOT CELINE! Jo anne I'm no fan of Celine but I can hear when an individual is talented.Celine has great range and strength in her voice.I don't know how you could even mention shania and Madonna in the same sentence.They are average singers at best .Celine is a crooner big huge voice like Mariah,Barbera Christina.your not even comparing the same type of singers to one another.shania and madonaa sing songs that any karaoke singer could sing Celine sings songs that require much more skill and training.Lets see madonna sing ABM like Celine did Not a chance.She would have to use falsetto for th high notes .Celine hits them strong.anybody that has ever played and sung professionally will tell you that Celine is a great vocalist whether they like her or not.There really is no argument the proof is in the pudding.She sells millions of records because she is talented.

darlene Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 JoAnne Marie, You don't disagree with Darlene on this one, because Darlene disagrees with Marvin on this one. I don't like Celine's ABM either? Screech, screech! Faith Hill maybe--not Celine! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor4Life Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I'm trying to think of something to ask Eric, but if he answers do recieve a hardcopy of his answer? I joined John Waites website and my wife and I both received answers with his signature which we now have proudly framed and have hanging on the wall in my music room!

marvin Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Jeff that's a great thing happening on the Waite site, and a nice way for John to connect with his fans. Don't know how many questions get sent to John, but I'm guessing Bernie inundates Eric with many questions from the fans (I know that I've sent a bunch), so unfortunately over here all you get is the satisfaction of knowing Eric actually read your question and thought enough of it to answer it personally on the site.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
