R.Herring and 99p Posted Sat Jul 1 16:43:37 BST 2000 by Joe

Why was richard herring on the 99p challenge on thursday? I thought he had been removed for intimidating the other guests. He was by far the best guest on the thing. Mack and Me 2, anyone?

Mac And Me 2: no such thing.

Mac And Me was a cheap ET rip-off about an alien called Mac who enjoyed product placement, drinking Coca-Cola and eating at McDonalds (his name is presumuably no coincidence). It hurts me to think about it. Please God no Mac And Mme 2. PLEASE!!!

P.S. Anyone seen Short Circuit 2? Fisher Stevens as a pakistani cracks me up: "Oh, Johnny Five, you are alive!"

The Corpses sang the praises of Rich on the show.

I didn't hear it but 'Mac and Me 2'? And I thought the Corpses mantra included the detesting of lazy popular culture references.

God help us if "Mac and Me" counts as popular culture...

I was on two shows and sacked from the next two.
I believe there is a Mac and Me 2, but isn't the 2 spelt "too". Very amusing. Maybe I'm wrong.
I think the Corpses were more arguing that I didn't deserve to be sacked rather than that ever thing that passed my lips was a gem of comedy. I don't think the above point really makes much of an impact if you wish to bring them crashing down in flames.
My attempted jokes about "Hamlet" fell a bit flat - did they leave them in? (maybe it was the next show)
The shows remain my only live work in the year 2000. Which makes me feel sad.

Oh yes, and the fact that 'no-one' can get his surname right, which I believe changed between the two films anyway. I think I can probably claim to be one of the biggest SC2 experts alive, having seen the film some 230 times...

Does anyone have any amusing 'WarGames' posts?

No WarGames posts please. We don't want no nuclear crisis here. Computers, eh? What starts as simple fun on a website ends up as global warfare. X in the top right square. Your move.

I'd just like to say that R. Herring's performance on The 99p Show was great, and they should have lengthened the show to accommodate him rather than edit it so choppily.

I throughly appreciated your classical references Rich. The Waiting for Godot one too. I can't remember what others you came up with and I haven't got around to listening to last Thursday's yet so don't know if they were included.
Unfortunately I don't have a leary, raucous laugh that would be picked up by the mics. So apologies for that, but you can console your self with the knowledge that me and my friend were hugely amused by the intellectual witicisms
:o)
