Hold the phone !


How is it possible that I didn't know that Three's Company was a remake/import/whatever of a British show called Man About the House ?

HOW ?!?!?!?!

I want answers .

Is hold the phone even an expression anymore ? It probably is without the context being known . Like how people talk about the 9th circle of hell despite not knowing where from it comes .

In the original British show the Jack character , called Robin , admitted he wasn't gay in the SECOND episode . Where did all the hilarious misunderstandings come from ? Many years ago one of my favorite things was to watch Three's Company on the Spanish language channel . Sino un comportamiento homosexual indeed .

And check his out , the British version ended in '76 and the American one started in '77 . Talk about a turn around . If I had a time machine (which I do not) I would travel back and use all my modern day assault rifles and tanks to force them to do a cross over episode . I mean two Chrissys ? Come on . Although in the British version Chrissy was the brunette ? Mind blown !

Remember the episode where Jack , under the alias Duke Bradford , tries computer dating and is matched up with Janet , who is using the alias Desiree ? I do .

Remember the episode where Jack pretends to be his own twin , "Austin" the macho cowboy , in order to fool Mr. Furley so he can date his niece ? I do .

Remember the episode where Jack gets in a boxing match and he's trying to weasel out of it and Larry asks him why since he boxed in the Navy and Jack admits that he lost every match he had ? I do .

I wonder why Suzanne Somers thought she could hold the studio up for big money when every plot revolved around Jack .

If I had a time machine (which I do not) I'd use it to go to the future to get all the laserblasters and hovertanks I would need to force them to reboot the series .

The other day someone called Super-Girl a fucker because of her relationship with Comet the Wonder . A comment to which I took exception .

Comet's real name is Biron and he was a centaur back in ancient Greece - you know , centaur times . One day Biron saved the life of Circe (yes , THAT Circe) from an assassination attempt by another wizard called Maldor and out of gratitude she said she would give him his heart's desire . Turns out his heart's desire was to be a human instead of a centaur because he was in love with the water nymph Pereserioan and he wanted to express this love with a human penis that would bring her pleasure instead of a penis that would rip her in half .

So Circe made a potion that would turn whoever drank it into a human . But for that to work she also had to make a potion that would turn whoever drank it into a - it's the magical law of centaur conservation . You can see where this is going .

Maldor takes the form of a dove and switches the potions and poor Biron becomes 100% , which Pereserioan is not into (obvs) . Circe feels bad so she does the only thing she can do , she magics Biron up to give him the might of Zeus , the speed of Hermes , the wisdom of Athena and the telepathic powers of Poseidon .

Since when does Poseidon have telepathy ? Shut up , that's when .

Despite this impressive array of abilities Maldor strikes again and banishes Biron to a meteor . Thousands of years later Super-Girl's ship from Krypton flew close to this meteor which disrupted the magic resonance field and allowed Biron to break free .

Biron (called Comet by us ignorant non-ancient Greeks) and Super-Girl became best pals and went on all kinds of adventures . Biron , not being from Krypton was not effected by Kryptonite which often came in handy when Super-Girl , Super-Man , Krypto the Super-Dog , Streaky the Super-Cat , and Beppo the Super-money were disabled by the green mineral .

Now because of all the magic shit going on with Biron whenever a comet is in the solar system that Earth is in he can turn into a human - the persona he comes up with his handsome rodeo champion "Bronco" Bill Starr . One can only assume that being a gives you a leg up in knowing how to ride them . It's only in his guise as Bronco Bill that he and Super-Girl fuck . AND she doesn't know it's Biron in a human form - he keeps that to himself , which is kind of a dick move , but you know how centaurs be .

It's the right move on his part though if he wants to get down (which he does) because if you knew a dude was your beloved pet in human form would you be into it ? Heck no .

The point is Super-Girl never fucked Biron/COmet in form and didn't even know that Bronco Bill was a centaur-turned in the form of a human when they fucked .

So there guy .

There's a persistent historical rumor that Catherine the Great was a practicing fucker , but it's generally accepted that this is just slander spread because because she had the poor taste to enjoy banging dudes .

Waaaiiiit a minute (or, hold the phone) how long was Three's Company on the air? It doesn't seem like you should be able to remember episodes, since you were a baby when it came out. But perhaps you were a toddler TV recollection prodigy.

Perhaps the Catherine the Great banging horses rumor started because she was banging horses asses (ie - jerks) I can see how that could devolve.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Maybe , but I don't know if that's an expression in Russian
