• I’m torn about this episode. The riffing is great, consistently hilarious. The host segments however, are mostly blah. The result is one of those “good not great” entries.
• This was on Rhino’s Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection, Vol. 2
• I just noticed that there is no apostrophe after “Angels” on the title card, so I have removed it, though it makes the title grammatically confusing.
• References. However, here are two I caught that they don’t mention: The much-lamented TV show “The Duck Factory” and Crow’s warning about his “elaborate network of trusses,” a reference to the “Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute,” bit on Saturday Night Live.
• By chance, this was the last episode ever shown on Comedy Central, in late December of ’96.
• When it debuted, it was the first new episode in nearly two months and the beginning of three eps in three weeks as the season came to an end.
• I kind of like the “amnesia” opener, because it’s just silly and doesn’t try to be anything more than that. It also reminds me a little of Scifi Channel-era Crow–and maybe that’s not just a coincidence, since future Crow Bill Corbett joined the writing staff with this episode.
• But the intro, with Dr. F and Frank dressed as Rollie Fingers and Tug McGraw, and transforming M&tB into the cast of “Renegade,” is, as the kids say, random. Maybe it’s because I never watched a single episode of “Renegade” (and in fact had never heard of the show when I first saw this episode). I dunno. It just seemed to go nowhere.
• Segment 1, in which we get yet another reading of yet another spec script by Crow, also kind of goes nowhere. But I will grant that it’s building toward a classic segment in season seven, so I will cut this one some slack.
• Segment 2: Another random concept (Fonzie?). It’s cute and it’s short but I’m left just going: “Huh?”
• Callback to the “rape” scene in “The Violent Years.”
• Segment 3, featuring Aaron Spelling’s house: well, of course mad prop props to whoever built the house. Just gorgeous. It’s a cute idea, and I do appreciate that they don’t belabor it. Still, it’s hardly a laugh riot.
• The classic line, “By this time my lungs were aching for booze,” is such a great payoff for fans who’ve been faithfully watching since the second season.
• The end segments, featuring the shame-o-meter, and a funny bit with Frank and Dr. F dressed as Billie Jean King and the now almost completely forgotten Bobby Riggs, almost save it for me, but not quite.
• Cast and crew roundup: Executive producer Louis George also worked on “Final Justice,” as did producer/director/screenwriters Greydon Clark.
In front of the camera, Jack Palance was also in “Outlaw” and Alan Hale Jr. was also in “The Crawling Hand” and “The Giant Spider Invasion.”
• CreditsWatch: Host segments directed by Trace Beaulieu. And it is with this episode that the team, struggling to manage their workload as they began working on “MST3K: The Movie,” added “additional contributing writers” Bill Corbett and Drew Jansen.
• Fave riff: “It’s Dworkinfest ’78!” Honorable mention: “Show him the wiener.”

This movie positively drips 1970’s. There must have been traces of cocaine all over the spec script. Everyone was either on drugs or acted like they were… even the craggy got funky, like Peter Lawford, Jack Palance, Alan Hale Jr., Arthur Godfrey, and poor, poor Jim Backus.
Crow has Ambrosia, not amnesia. I prefer the latter over the former. Trace’s excellent puppetry shines here.
I only saw ads for Renegade, but the transformation is eloquent and very funny. I love the little tinny bike sound as the Renegadeness wears off.
We get jumped right into this ridiculous film. ‘You wanna have coffee sometime?’ as the blonde is about to stab the guard, twitching with his hands around her neck. Fave lines: ‘What about the underwire cutters?’ ‘They’re attacking a Klingon Language camp,’ ‘This movie is a shrine to seventh grade boys.’ Electra Woman and Dyna Girl was believable and cohesive compared to this film.
The teacher’s ‘Ohh- oh-”s make me want to punch the screen.
‘Her image has been immortalized on pinball machines everywhere.’
I love ‘Chocolate Jones and the Temple of Funk.’ Mike revels in his unfunkyness. ‘Girl, don’t fink on soul brother.’ Mike in a dashiki?
‘Three fountains in a fountain.’ ‘Whuh-yut? I wasn’t listening.’ ‘Women can make a difference.’ As long as they are fully stacked, that is. Don’t forget the pencil test.
The women often seem like they’re reading their lines phonetically, especially the ‘Top model.’ Love Tom’s ‘We will like, burrry you.’ The cherried out van is pure seventies. ‘It’s really neat. I mean really-‘
‘Can’t they just buy some ammunition?’ indeed. Grape embargo, swine flu, Hudson Brothers, Qiana, Freddie Prinz, the theme from Sanford and Son- a Seventies smorgasbord. Poor Jim Backus in his Sergeant Pepper uniform.
Yes. Kill Fonzie. Every little boy and his pathetic thumbs-up ‘Heyyyyy,’ came flooding back to mind.
Oh, let Trish play with a gun. Why not. ‘You ruined my pedicure!’
The beach scene is too vile for comment.
How Peter Lawford managed to act at all under his load of booze is remarkable.
Everyone has fun imitating Jack Palance. ‘How will I make it- on my own.’ ‘Oh oh my heart’s gonna explo-‘ ‘I wonder if I could sunbathe nude up here.’
Having been privileged enough to see Aaron Spelling’s house from the outside once, yes, it is that big.
I’ve often used Mike’s comment on Lawford’s painting: ‘It has a wonderful otherness…’ in art critiques. No one even blinks.
I love the Mr. Pither reference while Trish is cycling.
‘It’s a wet teacher contest.’
‘Well, you girls did a pretty good job,’ yes you’d need to skim the Peter Lawford off of the pool surface.
Not one of my faves; the whole movie feels like a tax dodge.
Very funny but very painful episode, watching all these former TV and movie greats having to slum it for rent money. But it does have one of my favorite lines. When the girls are shown bathing underneath the waterfall in their bras and panties, Crow utters “And now, ladies and gentlemen, the reason this movie was made.” I use that line whenever I see a movie that shamelessly shows skin just because it can.
As for the “meh” comment about the Fonzie sketch, are you kidding? Who hasn’t wanted to blow up someone doing a bad Fonzie impression? Hell, who hasn’t wanted to blow up Fonzie? I liked it so sue me.
This is a fun goofy episode that I’ve shown a couple new viewers of the show and they all really liked it. The host segments are okay though the blacksploitation script reading is one of my favorites of all time so that could screw up the balance a little. This episode also has a riff that I have used in normal life. Along with “Is that the best away team he could have chose?” from THE MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD, I have been known to drop “I wonder if it aroused suspicion when they bought those jumpsuits” from time to time.
This movie taught me that, no matter what you’re wearing or what time of the day it is, if you crouch, people can’t see you.
This is one of those ones I can watch over and over again – it’s so bad that I can’t stop looking at it.
Possibly my favourite riff of the entire series: “It’s anonymous!!”
OW!! I hurt!!! :shock:
This was well ew.
Liked Crow in the opening amnesia/ambrosia sketch. And the Mads.
Dr. F.: “Frank, show ’em your Tug McGraw.”
Frank: “I’m Tug McGraw.”
Liked the title of Crow’s new screenplay.
Not much else to like about this. The movie was something I definitely couldn’t watch without the riffs. They did a pretty good job with said riffs, though. Still, not something I’ll go back to too often.
Some fave lines:
“Sheila Knieval.” – Crow
(I also thought Servo’s “Well, beer and porn do make the shifts go faster” sounded more like sh*t – the guy WAS headed for the can, afterall. Think Kevin did that on purpose?)
“Hey – how ’bout shining my STEAK over here!” – Crow
“I mis-EM-phasize words.” – Mike
“You’re listening to KPLOT.” – Crow
“Damn you gated communities! – Mike (with one of his patented whisper shouts).
“THAT was a long flashback.” – Mike
They mentioned Electra Woman and Dyna Girl – WOW.
And the Hudson Brothers. (Hey Mar-GO-lis!) (Anyone remember Chucky Margolis?) I’m so old. :roll:
Oh, and Shine Your Love everyone.
One of my all time favorites.
Jack Palance working for Booze.
“I was lucky to get a spot…”
and
“…It’s about my report card”
and “sh’mometer” is worked into everyday conversation in the Fingal household.
“Wet teacher contest” is my favorite season 6 riff.
The first few times I watched this episode I thought it was really stupid. It was before I had watched many episodes and didn’t get the humor. When I watched it this time, I thought it was hilarious. I loved all the 70s references, probably because I was in high school and college in the 70s and could remember all that stuff. It’s one of the very few episodes in which I “get” most of the references. I liked the host segments – I didn’t watch Renegade but my husband did, and I thought Mike was hysterical as Lorenzo Lamas with his motorcycle. Lorenzo was supposed to be all sexy and dangerous, and it’s always funny when Mike tries to be like that, and purposely fails miserably. A really good episode for me.
Really enjoy this one. I feel the movie is perfect for MST3K, and the riffing is right on.
I do enjoy this episode. To the question, Who is your favorite girl? I say the Asian girl. Very nice in a bikini.
I have a question that nags me every time I see this one. In the pool torture scene, what is she tied to? A serving tray? Is that heavy enough to drown anyone? And how exactly does the mechanics of the rope and serving tray work? I can’t figure out what’s going on.
This is my all-time favorite episode! Favorite riff – “It’s the T and A Team!”
Season 6, at one point, fell into this hole of obscurity to me, so when I picked up the boxset with this episode on it, I had no idea what to expect. Luckily for me, I was very pleasantly surprised and absolutely love this episode. It strikes me as one of those “skimmed over” flicks, which is a shame since it’s just so…so…’70s.
I actually like the host segments for the most part. If nothing else, it gave me the line “I’m not funky!”, which, being a very square white girl out in cornfield land who’s about to embark on college, is rather useful. Plus, the ending has Trace in a skirt, which means a chance to show off his legs that we haven’t had since Mighty Jack. Uh…I may have said too much. >>;
definately a funny episode!
I love what they’re going for in this riff, but unfortunately it’s wrong. When they show the director (Greydon in a cameo), Mike says “Barry Knight’s first film.” I’m pretty sure they mean Christopher Knight, Peter from the Brady Bunch. They probs mixed him up with Barry Williams his TV brother. This doesn’t take away too much from a great observational joke but it kinda crushed me when I first realized it. Otherwise, great episode. Probably the most jiggle-riffic movie they ever did.
( general apologies for my inability to read, count or type )
Love this one A LOT! It’s just the EPIDOME of cheese, in it’s cheesiest sense. The whole concept of “fighting drugs”, when it’s so obvious how drug-induced a lot of the film’s aspects are…the “porn movie level” of acting skills…and the desperate “gotta make the rent” appearances of so many fallen stars. Especially poor, slurry-voiced Peter Lawford. (“…Sinatra won’t talk to me….”)
Host segments ARE kinda hit and miss, but you gotta love “Chocolate Jones and the Temple of Funk”. (“What size dashiki do you wear?”….”now, about the Cadillacs”….)
I’m amazed that so many people use this episode to introduce others to MST. This one was so painful and embarrassing that I never wanted to see it ever again, and indeed I haven’t watched it since its premiere in ’95.
To each his own, though.
This is an uncharacteristically weak Season 6 episode, and as such, I don’t have much to say about it. The movie is just…gah, you want to slap whoever wrote it. It’s everything people loathe about the 1970s rolled up into one unpleasant package. At least the riffing is okay – but I think my expectations were kinda high, ’cause this is nowhere near the level of sheer brilliance that their last Jack Palance movie was. “Outlaw” is a MST3K masterpiece, while this is…well, whatever it is, it is.
Host segments are embarrassingly mediocre. I usually like Season 6’s segments, but this week, it just feels like they phoned it in. My guess is that everyone had cancellation on their minds, and Frank had one foot out the door, and when you add a loathsome movie like this…well, it doesn’t really get the creative juices flowing. It’s especially evident in the “Chocolate Jones and the Temple of Funk” skit. All the previous “Crow’s spec scripts” segments had the cast actually reading through the things, since the point was that Crow’s writing is ridiculously bad (see “Earth vs. the Spider”, “Crash of the Moons”, “Secret Agent Super Dragon”, and “The Beginning of the End” for how to do this gag right). Here, Mike reads one line, says he can’t get into it, and walks away, and nobody else does anything. Weak. You could tell the Brains didn’t have their hearts in it.
Though I will say this, Frank’s deadpan reading of “I’m Tug McGraw” does always bust me up laughing. Just goes to show how great of an actor he’d become in his five years on the show. I’ll have more to say about that next week, though…
I love Gypsy’s comment as Aaron Spelling’s house goes by…..”I feel so insignificant!”
#69: One reason I felt that they didn’t really do much with the “Chocolate Jones” skit is I think they were afraid of doing a skit based heavily on race stereotypes, even if the goal was to mock the stereotypes themselves and mock their own “vanilla” casting. As a result, I agree it comes off rather half-hearted, which probably means they should never have attempted the joke in the first place if they couldn’t go whole hog.
I really agree that the Aaron Spelling house is pointless, but after a season of Esther Hoffman Howard impersonations and “My Own Private Idaho Potato” I was expecting less and less from their host segments anyway.
I know it’s from another episode, but any time it’s a seventies movie, I think of the riff “I learned it was impossible to look good in the seventies.” The titular “Angels” are NOT the lookers they’re purported to be (or, to put it another way, Farrah Fawcett they ain’t.)
“Olympia Dukakis ! Ladies and Gentleman!”
freakin brilliant.
Trace’s last great coup-de-robot.
An interesting point I once saw someone make on another forum. The design of the uniforms Dr. F and Frank wear are from the Nineties rather than the Seventies design Rollie Fingers and Tug McGraw would have worn. I imagine tracking down Seventies style uniforms would have busted their budget a little too hard.
This movie is pure cheeseball 70’s. Deep hurting…Deeeep Huuuuuurrrrrting!!
* April knew where the drug processing lab was for at 2 years, yet never called the police.
* Who knew that up-and-coming celebrities will drop everything to go on a commando raid? Did any drug labs get blown up by women in jumpsuits when Mariah Carey was first starting out?
* Did Jack Palance read the script and see that there were going to be pretty ladies running around think *I’m there! Sign me up!*
* Fun fact: Sisters Robin Greer (Elaine the cop) and Liza Greer (Trish) would later resurface as co-writers the prostitution memoir “You’ll Never Make Love In This Town Again”.
This might be my favorite episode, although it’s impossible to choose one, really.
The hosts segments are weak, but the riffing has never been better. I’m not going to try to pick out individual riffs because they’re all great.
And the cast!! We’ve never seen such a spectacular group of has-beens since SST Death Flight (and that wasn’t a tenth as embarrassing.)
I could swear I remember seeing this movie in a drive-in around the time it was released, and that the title was “Seven Angels”, but I can’t find any corroboration for the “Seven Angels” title. The original title definitely had “7” in it.
On another note, I swear the cop lady was in a late 70’s porno called Taxi Girls. I believe it may even have been a Johnny Wad movie. How would I know? Well…. A’hem… What’s that over there? (woosh!)
This is one of my favorite episodes of all time. The riffing is excellent, I love the black-sploitation segment, and…. well, I love it much. I thought they riffed the 70s & 80s movies/t.v. movies so well.
I want to see “Chocolate Jones and the Temple of Funk”!!
Personally, I’d never rate a great episode down for weak host segments; if a host segment isn’t working for you, it’s over in a minute or two anyway. (Which isn’t to say I don’t appreciate the fantastic skits, just that I see them as handy extras and not essentials.)
And this is a great episode–the comic timing of, “Hey! This is a lot like ‘Charlie’s Angels’!” alone is a perfect gag. Every scene is filled with that essential “what the hell were the film-makers thinking?” quality that makes for a perfect MST3K experience. And I love the long, rambling stream-of-consciousness discussion of the Seventies during the credits. “Hey, remember when everyone had this poster, only there was one of them, and it was Farrah Fawcett?”
Love this one. And at least they preserved the original parallelogram-view format. :)
I think if you wanted to introduce somebody to MST3K, that THIS is the episode you would show. Cheesy 1970s flick, good running gag comments, and — shoot me — I even LIKED the host segments. Great episode all around.
I just recently got my hands on Rhino’s MST3K Collection 2, and just watched this one a couple of times. I love this episode and the treatment they give the movie.
I especially love, during the car chase post-super-long-flashback and blowing up of drug barn, when Tom and Mike blatantly start humming the “Charlie’s Angels” theme and Crow tells them to cut it out.
This movie makes me feel a bit embarressed for the actors, but at least it’s got color. And after Beast of Yucca Flats, that’s a breath of fresh air (like seeing Krankor in the middle of Invasion of the Neptune Men).
Also, a great exchange where Crow says “Hey Mike, I bet thats you in high school!” And Mike says “You’re not far off…” Trace lets out this great little disgusted noise. I love that moment.
I seem to recall the writing team was busy writing the movie around this time which might explain why the host segments are a bit weak. In fact this episode is the debut of Bill Corbett (I noticed his name on the credits long after he replaced Trace), who contributed some jokes to the last three episodes of Season 6.
What’s with all the negativity on this ep?! I love it, man! Coincidentally, i’m listening to a disco tune on lastfm while writing this, but I digress. I especially loved when Mike tells Crow to give the Ambrosia songs a rest and he suggests to “at least sing something by Eric Carmen,” and Crow starts singing one of my favorite songs of all time, “All By Myself.” Sniff!
While the host segments aren’t my absolute favorites, I think the whole Renegade bit was sheer brilliance. When the serum starts to wear off…c’mon! The tiny motorbike toy winding down couldn’t be funnier. I never watched Renegade but it’s one of those soon-to-be outdated references (I know, it is already…) but it’s one I don’t think I’ll ever find hilarious. I’d sit in for Mike’s wily winebego driving sidekick any day!
I meant that I’ll always find it hillarious. How does that preview button work again?
One of the first ones I owned on VHS. It’s still upstairs in my VCR. Dunno if it’s the nostalgia of it being my first or not, but I enjoyed this movie a lot.
“Eh, Jack’s not getting paid enough to run…”
Awesome.
And Renegade was an awful show. They make fun of it quite a bit, but this is the biggest reference to the TV show.
Odd, one of my all time favorite riffs is from this film yet nobody has mentioned it. During the “thumbs up” scene one of the girls looks at her thumb and Crow says “I must have evolved last night”.
This is a hurtful movie, with or without the MST3K treatment, and after watching it – or, should I say, mentally toughing it out – about three months ago, I just couldn’t do it again. Sampo’s review pretty much wraps it up…the riffing is very good, but the host segments are overall uninspired, and its obvious that the writing team was off investing their time and talents on another project (MST movie).
With this movie, there is a double insult factor here: first, it tries to pass itself off as a proponent of “girl power”, yet the ladies in this film are consistently using their sexuality more than their intellect, and none of them seem to have a problem with it. Second, the movie also tries half-heartedly to have an anti-drug message, but it’s painfully obvious that almost everyone involved (maybe even little Trish) was on some hallucinatory drug at some point. While watching it, you can almost smell the faint stench of pot and bong water.
That said, it was a smart change of pace from the dreadfully dull Beast of Yucca Flats; at least it was in color, and there was TOO much going on. A perfect opposite in that respect.
I really like this episode…so much pure 70s pain (wasn’t that a K-TEL records special?)…a TV movie budget, likely shown as the bottom half of the double bill at a handful of drive-in theaters, thus barely seen by anyone ever…
I always thought the “Renegade” sketch was a direct shot at the bean counters at Comedy Central…much like the “Love, Satellite Style” sketch…
Bra-less 70’s boobs and Pat Buttram… What’s not to like? 4 stars!
“And we’re thinking of starting a facist petting zoo, nyes yes yes…”
This has to be one of my favorite episodes. The riffing is great, and the movie is just so marvelously ridiculous. Also quite terrible, of course, but I wouldn’t quite put it in the same “horrific pain-inducing” category as, say, “Hobgoblins”, “The Violent Years”, or “Horrors of Spider Island”, the latter two of which I can’t bear to ever watch again. As for this movie, the only part that really made me want to bash my head in was the introduction of the “Vietnamese” girl who teaches karate, fights with a katana, and has a Japanese name. “The Asian one in our group”, indeed :roll:
I wasn’t alive in the ’70s, so I never had to watch any of the many has-beens in this movie in their more respectable earlier roles, however I do know who they are and what they were famous for so the jokes aren’t exactly wasted on me. I have seen a few movies with Jack Palance, though. I do appreciate the chance to try and spot actual “stars” in these movies, and “Angels’ Revenge” is truly a most unharmonic convergence of washed-up talent (although I liked Alan Hale’s contribution to “The Giant Spider Invasion” more, and my all-time favorite celebrity appearance on MST3K is still Clint Eastwood in “Revenge of the Creature”).
The host segments are random, for sure, but I didn’t find them offensive or anything. Not really any reason to rate the episode down, IMHO. To me, several mediocre but random sketches are better than one horrible protracted one (I’ve mentioned this before but I will never forgive them for the neverending Urkel sketch in “San Francisco International”).
All in all, I’m glad they destroyed this cheap, trashy jiggle-fest, it surely deserved it. Some favorite bits:
– “The Mean Streets of Ojai.”
– “That’s not Flip Wilson, honey…”
– “HOW ‘BOUT SHININ’ MY STEAK OVER HERE?!”
– “Sometimes a bazooka’s just a bazooka.”
– “Welcome back to jail, Mr. Gotti!”
– “Did they row all the way from Colombia to drop off the drugs?”
– “She’s on a cycling tour of North Cornwall!”
– and of course Jack singing the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song during his driving close-ups
I can’t believe how many people profess to never have seen “Renegade”! It was a Saturday afternoon staple in the 90’s. Next you’re gonna tell me you never caught an episode of “High Tide” starring Rick Springfield. :mad:
My favorite riff is when “Michelle Williams” is talking about generic plot device kid Bobby and Tom says: “How am I related to him again?”
Also, does anyone else think Elaine the cop bears a striking resemblance to Kate Hudson?
I love how the Mads are inexplicably dressed as 70’s relief pitchers, Rollie Fingers, which Dr. F pulls off FANTASTICALLY, and Tug McGraw. Frank keeps slapping his glove and Dr. F keeps giving up hand signals and stuff.
“Show ’em your Tug McGraw again, Frank.”
“I’m Tug McGraw.”
HIL-arious.
This is my absolute favorite episode of MST3k ever. I don’t know if it’s how dated and horrible the movie itself is or if it’s the bizarrity of the host segments.
The movie is just… well, it reminds me of why I both do & don’t wish I was alive in the 70s. It’s a wealth of wrong – the Rainbow Coalition of sexist/racist Angels wannabes (I’m especially fond of the Chinese woman playing a Vietnamese immigrant with a Japanese name & weaponry); the visibly intoxicated “guest stars” (how the heck do you guest star in a movie?); and of course, the spot-on riffs. For some reason, the one I find myself quoting the most is “He didn’t count on her having a way with animals.”
While the segments are random, I still loved them. Mocking “Renegade” made sense because it was so typical of the basic-cable syndicated stuff that was inexplicably common in the mid 90s, and Frank’s Tug McGraw impersonation makes me laugh for way too long. And the Bots neatly sum up that chin puppetry is horrifying, in case you were still in the dark.
While it’s not a “gateway” MST3k episode, after non-fans are softened up, this is the one I like to share with them the most.
the thing that drives me crazy about this one is that i have this tremendous urge to scream “_____ shame on YOU” i just don’t know who i should start with first. and those poor, poor bloodthirsty, rabid guard dogs.. i can hear them now, “rurner rand rooch!?! rooooo ree ret ris riece of … ” i know, i know, i’m done.
Here’s something I never noticed before. At the beginning of the Amnesia segment, Mike is reading Swann’s Way by Marcel Proust. That’s the first volume of Remembrance of Things Past. It’s also the volume that contains the Madeleine episode where the pastry brings on a flood of memories to the narrator. A wonderful little joke for us Proust fans.
One of my favorite episodes,even though it’s hard to watch Jim Backus in this.Here was a great character actor who was in Rebel Without a Cause and Mad,Mad,Mad,Mad World;just to name a few being reduced to this pile of crap,but at least his scenes weren’t very long.Maybe he should have had the Alan Hale role and Alan could’ve had…ah,never mind..Love the riffs in this and the host segments,especially Frank being Tug McGraw “Hi,I’m Tug McGraw”..and of course the lead “actresses” trying to act..By the way,the movie is being released on dvd this coming Tuesday,so we get to see the scenes that were edited out..wooo-hooooo!!
My first episode of the show. It never aired here in Canada, but I had seen discussions about the show back on Usenet. So, when I saw some of the Rhino releases in stores, I had to get one. They had this one along with I Accuse My Parents (I think, I know it was a B&W one). I elected on this one, since it was in colour, and the cover of theVHS showed that there would be ample distractions if I didn’t enjoy the show.
The previously mentioned “It’s anonymous!” riff was a sign that I had made a smart choice and made me an addict.
Fave riff: “This is offending one-celled animals”.
