It doesn't surprise me. Germans and even people from Southern Norway have very strange ideas about Northern Norway (where I live now), too.

Most people who have posted in this thread are not from the US, though.

So what were they? I don't see you as a Blazing Saddles or Charlie and The Chocolate Family kinda gal.
You keep changing your post...

I may not be that kinda gal, but yes, one of them was "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (and I even liked it). The other one was "Young Frankenstein".

Sorry, am a bit drunk.

Originally I wrote "....who hasn't seen The Producers before"

Then I realised the "before" was redundant. So I took it off.

Then I realised I had forgotton to ask my question.

So obviously when I get drunk my memory gets worse but my sentence construction improves.

Odd.

When I read the sentence before you edited it, I understood it as "I don't think I've ever met anyone ... before", in which case the "before" isn't redundant, but I considered commenting that you haven't really "met" me. But then you changed your post, so I stopped considering it.

It's still redundant. I can't have met someone in the future.

Your right, though, "met" was probably wrong.

Now what was I doing again? Ah yes, heading for bed and a terrible headache in the morning.

The "before" would mean "before I met you" in this case, and would thus not be redundant.

Good night!

Don't bother about seeing any of his films if you haven't seen them already ... bland, mainstream stuff.... but his stage show was hilarious, his genius was as a stand-up

No one could tell a story quite like Richard Pryor. The man's stand-up comedy was so amazingly real, genuine and personal. He is, in my mind, the greatest stand-up comedian to ever live.

Often imitated, never duplicated.

R.I.P.

He was good.
Maybe the greatest of "american" stand-up comedians, but I personally wouldn't say best ever to live. Comedy is seemingly very different around the world.
I really liked Stir Crazy....lmao.

Richard Pryor was pretty damn funny. He also got hooked on crack when it first came out. He had a huge problem with crack... and on top of that... he caught on fire smoking it. He was wandering the streets and a cop or med was all like, "Dude, you are needing some medical attention, bad".

He said... "I feel like if I stop walking, I will die".

I guess that was funny, cuz he laughed about it in his act for the next several years.

He "came clean" about that later.
It was a half-assed (stoned) suicide attempt.
He doused himself with brandy while drunk and stoned on crack and lit himself on fire.
Woke him up.

Goodbye Richard.
Thanks for all the laughs.
