Blasphemy ! I read no further than this :|[/quote]
In 1979, I was a senior in high school in the suburbs of Chicago. Two buddies and I took a 4-week trip to L.A. We did this very much on the cheap, sleeping in parks and whatnot so the meager job earnings we’d saved up would last, and spending most days on the beach. One night we parked at NBC studios overnight getting ready to line up super early the next morning to see Johnny Carson the next evening. We had Big Bambu on tape and a few hours to kill, so we fired up a J (or three) and cued up some Cheech and Chong on the car’s tape deck. After a little while, we were really good and high, and we noticed that they started pretty much every sentence with “hey,” and ended pretty much every sentence with “man.” In the state we were in, we found this quite funny. So every time they said “hey” or “man” we would crack up. We’d heard the whole album many times before, of course, but it didn’t matter that it wasn’t new to us, because “hey” and “man” was all we needed at the time. And we got one of each almost every sentence.
Just the memory of that night is enough to make me love Cheech and Chong forever.
Cheech goes to visit his super-high friend Chong and finds him sitting on the couch:
“Hey, watcha doin’, man?”
“Aw, just watchin’ tv, man.”
“Watchin’ tv? What are you watchin’, man?”
“I don’t know. It’s a movie about Indians, but it’s really boring, man.”
“Hey, man, that’s not a movie, man, that’s a test pattern, man!”
[Larry the cable guy accent]: I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.
