Same here. The poorest kid in town is at the front of the line to get the latest and expensive hi-tech toy. I kinda wonder if it wasn't a subtle jab at how some lower income failies still find a way to get those expensive toys despite living by the tracks.
Dont forget they have the whitest sneakers around and the latest Sean John jeans. It also amazes me how some can afford luxury vehicles and they live in HUD housing. But then again, if I was getting a good deal of my rent paid, I'd probably get an Escalade and tell my girlfirend to pop out annother kid, to justify such a big truck.
It was my impression that the Saddam in Canada episode had been prepared as a joke on no one knowing where Saddam was, and then he gets caught a few days before it airs!
So they just dubbed in some jokes about what he said when he was caught or something.
I loved when Randy was getting into the fights, he whips off his shirt "I'm right here, what do you wanna do, I'm right here!". Also when the cops were taking him to the car, every time "Oh, I thought this was America, I thought this was a free country" in a drunken slur.
I can sympathize with the kids, I remember being about 10 or 11 and standing in right field day-dreaming about watching Terminator 2 when I got home from the baseball game.
This was funny because I recently read an article (in Sports Illustrated, I believe). It was a note to parents, from the coach of their kids sports team.
It was great because it was so derogatory to these types of parents. Some of the lines were like "stop living through your son/daughter...your glory days are behind you and just because you are no longer the great sports start you once were, doesn't mean your kid has to be", etc.
Real Sports on HBO did a story a couple of weeks ago (or maybe it was last week) about how kids today are having Tommy John surgery because they're playing year-round and throwing all kinds of crazy pitches that screw up your arm.
When I played little league in Florida (late 70s - early 80s), it was against the rules for pitchers to throw curve balls and other breaking pitches for this very reason (kids that young can really mess up their arms). We couldn't throw breaking pitches until we got to Babe Ruth league, which is the league after little league in Florida.
I loved playing baseball, but I definitely remember standing in the field daydreaming about doing something else... especially back in tee-ball days!
Did anyone else notice Kenny "unmasked" yet again in the baseball scenes? He was the blond kid with no lines that was always near Kyle, Stan and Cartman. I wasn't confusing him with Tweak or Butters, they were there too, it was definitely Kenny as he appeared in "BLU" and "The Jeffersons".
