The "large" pizzas now would be struggling to be "medium" in the good old days, when pizza was a radical taste that you could have, in the words of the song, "while you're havin' a beer".</p>Tony Tee commented on 'GETTING THINNEERRRRR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e54f7acf6588332007-11-06T02:07:29Z2007-11-06T02:07:29ZTony Teehttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/agb/Another difference between the two is that in the original and best Hugo puts the box between his legs so...<p>Another difference between the two is that in the original and best Hugo puts the box between his legs so it won't topple, while in the remake and not best Holly puts the bucket on the seat as the car goes bouncing up the road.</p>Adam 1.0 commented on 'GETTING THINNEERRRRR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e54f93806688342007-11-05T22:02:07Z2007-11-11T02:28:57ZAdam 1.0http://supermercado.tvI heartily endorse anything that uses the word "boombah"<p>I heartily endorse anything that uses the word "boombah"</p>chrisl commented on 'GETTING THINNEERRRRR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e54f8e190f88342007-11-05T12:17:57Z2007-11-05T12:17:57ZchrislIt is always interesting to watch people eat food in tv ads.

<p>I prefer the original. No need for the gimmicky riff. And why does a faster tempo mean updated? Oh dear, I've thought about this too much already.

<p>< dudgeon >Harrumpf!< / dudgeon ></p>
<p>For the record: The first was definitely better. But while the new one with its seatbelts, thin fast-food kids and acronyms is NQR, nor is it dreadful. Not IMHO, anyway.</p>
<p>Chook facts:</p>
<p>1) Sanders was made a colonel by Kentucky governor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Laffoon" rel="nofollow">Ruby Laffoon</a>.<br />
2) The name Ruby Laffoon renders all other chook facts redundant.</p>boynton commented on 'GETTING THINNEERRRRR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e54f8df29688342007-11-05T04:16:17Z2007-11-05T04:16:17Zboyntonhttp://boyntonesque.blogspot.com/Just watched the re-make.

Seatbelts, acronyms and thin fast-food kids.<br />
And in 1973, you might have seen a single Colonel in the landscape, but KFC is only found in the Maccapizza strip these days.</p>
<p>Kentucky Fried is better poetically than KFC. </p>Tony T. commented on 'GETTING THINNEERRRRR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e54f8de6c788342007-11-05T02:56:18Z2007-11-05T02:56:18ZTony T.http://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/agb/It's funny.
