The Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon |

I haven't watched in about 30 years or so, not since cable television gave us a choice, but I'm tempted to watch just for the hell of it.

It took about 5 minutes, but he fucked up by calling the South Point Hotel the Orleans.

My mother wrote letters to the local tv station every year for 20+ years complaining about Jerry Lewis and his freaking telethon.
She hated it when he smoked on air, and didn't understand why the telethon had his name up front. And she hates Jerry Lewis on general principle. She also hates Jimmy Dean, Carol Burnett, and a cast of thousands. I used to type the letters for her. Batshit crazy good times. |

I thought about it yesterday, wondering if it'll go by the wayside when Lewis either dies or is simply unable to host it any longer.
Way back around the late 70's - early 80's, it had the world premier of the video for the first single from the new Stones album... at around 3 or 4 in the morning. I was jammin' to it, with the volume turned up far too loudly for that time of day, and was suddenly encountered by a pissed-off Mom who'd been awakened and stormed upstairs to tell me to turn it down. |

My favorite year was 1979. I remember because my dad was in the hospital with cancer of the lung. Jerry was crying about how him having an affair should not
keep people from donating money. They were not hurting HIM, they were hurting the children! THE CHILDREN!!!! THE CHILDREN!!!! *bawl* *bawl* *bawl*
How many years? Anyone cured yet? |

jerry does so much for them kids! i met him about 11 years ago during one of my trips to vegas. he was so kind and funny, y'all! right after that trip, i
was shoppin' at wal-mart, i saw one of them there gumball machines with his picture on it, and they was donatin' money to them sick kids if you bought
some gum, so i bought about 9 dollars worth and took 'em home. when i got home, i thought up this here recipe that made jaime and bobby smile! now my boys
love their sandwiches, so i thought that i would combine what i had and make a sandwich that not only made my boys tummy's full, but also helped to support
jerry's kids! i want to share it with y'all so you can help and enjoy at the same time!
paula's muscular dystrophy paninis you will need: - 1 loaf ciabatti bread - 1/2 pound sliced salami - 1/2 pound sliced swiss cheese - 1 cup butter - 2 cups diced ham - bottle of mayo - 1 large onion - 9 dollars worth of gumballs 1. cut up the entire loaf of ciabatti into several slices to use for the sandwiches 2. distribute the salami and swiss cheese slices on half of the slices of bread, y'all 3. sprinkle a few pieces of diced ham on each sandwich 4. spread the mayo on the top slices for each sandwich 5. melt the butter over a high flame and then drop each gumball into it until each one is covered 6. use a spoon to remove the gumballs from the melted butter and place one on top of the meat and cheese 7. put the top slices of bread on each sandwich 8. if you have one, use a george foreman grill to toast the outsides of the sandwich, y'all! just put it on high and place each sandwich in the grill for 20 minutes 9. if you don't have one of them grills, just mix some sugar with the leftover egg yolks and then char it until it's black. sprinkle the burned sugar in lines on top of each sandwich to give the effect that you actually toasted it serve and enjoy! remind your kids that with each fruity gum and meat filled bite, they are helpin' a poor kid. this recipe is so good it'll make ya' wanna slap your momma - but not you jaime and bobby! hahahahaha. well i love y'all, so take care and remember to celebrate today safely! love paula. |

Yeah Paula Deen needs to be sent to some sort of GhostNic graveyard, because there wasn't a speck of anything funny in that whole thing.
What a colossall waste of your time |

Stumbled on to the telethon.
Jerry has been plugging along for so long he is becoming lovably iconic. Where else can Jack Jones get national exposure? I know. I know. Who else is left from those early telethons but Don Rickles? Hard to believe, but being a survivor counts. Go get'em Jerry. |
