Bob | Good day, and welcome to the Hoser. |
---|---|
Doug | How's it goin'? |
Bob | Bad, eh? |
Doug | I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to our readers. |
Bob | Yeah, but we're having a bad day. You know why, folks? (pause) |
Doug | You... you're waiting for a response? |
Bob | No, I'm waiting for you to give the reason! |
Doug | Wha? When did we agree that I'd say the reason? |
Bob | At rehearsal. |
Doug | We have rehearsals? |
Bob | Yeah, but you've missed every one. |
Doug | How? I didn't even know about them. |
Bob | Well, if you showed up at our meetings, you'd know. |
Doug | You mean those meetings you have when there's no one there? |
Bob | Yeah. |
Doug | You've gone strange on me. And the rest of the world thinks you're strange, too. |
Bob | Yeah. You and everyone else. You think... |
Doug | Take off. Back to the topic, since apparently I have to do the whole thing. Okay. The reason we're mad, eh, is because, like, we had to go to Toronto to pick up our mom and dad cause their car broke down, and they didn't want to pay a cab since that would take up too much beer money. |
Bob | But that's not the reason we're mad, eh? |
Doug | Well, it is. I had to drive, so I couldn't have any beer before we left. |
Bob | Yeah, so we got there, and... |
Doug | Oh, you're finishing my story now? |
Bob | Wha? Your story? You didn't even want to do it at first! Maybe we do need rehearsals! |
Doug | Get out. Let me finish. |
Bob | No way, eh? I'm finishing the story. |
Doug | Fine, then! I'm gonna have a beer. Good day. |
SFX | beer opening |
Bob | Wha? It's not over already, is it? |
Doug | Go! There's space left. Just ignore me, eh? |
Bob | As always. Okay. So we finally get in Toronto, and there's, like, no parking spaces left at the garage they took the car to. So we, uh, double parked the van on the street. |
Doug | I was going to park on the 401... |
Bob | That's the big expressway, if you've never been to Toronto. |
Doug | Uh, yeah. So there was a traffic jam, and we didn't move for, like, six hours... |
Bob | Six hours. Take off. More like 20 minutes. |
Doug | Well, it felt like six hours. So there's a traffic jam. And we coulda stopped the van, got out, went to the garage, got our mom and dad, then got back before anyone moved. |
Bob | Geez. You hoser. So anyway, we're parked on the road, and when we get back, there's a cop there who says "get the van out of here, or I'm gonna have to press charges". |
Doug | Oh, take off! He was not going to press charges! All he did was write up a ticket! |
Bob | Yeah, well, close enough! So, we got a parking ticket. |
Doug | And that's why we're mad. Good day. |
Bob | Good day. |
Doug | So, uh, have you paid the ticket, yet? |
Bob | Yeah, I mailed it in. |
Doug | How'd you pay for it? |
Bob | With your share of our beer money. That beer you're drinking belongs to me. Give it back. |
Doug | You want it? |
Bob | Yeah. |
Doug | SNORK! (Doug backwashes into the beer) Still want it? |
Bob | Take off! |
The server with the back issues isn't up for the summer, so, like, you should have saved them or something. They'll be back, uh, when we go back to our fast connection. The links are on the back issues page, but they won't go anywhere. Sorry for all of you using them to play drinking games with, eh?
Good day, eh? NBC is still showing SCTV in the former "Later" timeslot, which is usually Monday to Thursday, 1:35am to 2:05am. Check your listings, and find out when it's on. Who knows what episodes will be on, but maybe we'll be there, eh?
The Comedy Network in Canada is also showing two different syndicated episodes a day, and maybe they're in order, too. Check out the SCTV page and the SCTV News page for more info, eh?
