On a more serious note!

Hi Bill-
I couldn't help myself. Pretty childish huh! You must have loved this when SNL released it 34 years ago, can you believe it! We are no spring chickens any longer.

"Mr. Bill" Created, Written and produced by Walter Williams in 1974
First aired SNL May 29,1976
Mr. Bill Show-Ohh Nooo!!! Spot has been flattened by a fist, just after he arrived. Good friend Sluggo comes to shake hands. What's that in his hands? "No! No! Nooo!!!" Mr. Bill has been knifed in the gut. And Dr. Sluggo, Sluggo with a little Stethoscope, says Mr. Bill's leg must be amputated. Try standing Mr. Hands encourages, and Mr. Bill falls flat. Mr. Hands suggests a deep-sea mission; he drops Mr. Bill into a deep pot of water. After our hero's rescue, Mr. Hands brushes Mr. Bill's teeth and in the process his nose, mouth, and right eye are brushed off. No time to rest it's on to a skydiving adventure! But Mr. Bill's parachute doesn't open and he plummets to the ground.

Mr. Bill Goes to a Party-"You need exercise," Mr. Hands decides and aids Mr. Bill with a pull-up that rips out a tiny left arm. Dr. Sluggo recommends and inflicts, acupuncture. No time to recover, Mr. Bill has a party to go to! "Let?s wash up!" Mr. Hands douses his friend with a mysterious liquid marked "XXX" next thing you know, Mr. Bill is on fire "Why, why, why?" Mr. Hands deposits Mr. Bill at a doorway and rings the bell. Out comes a partygoer, who sees no one but unknowingly winds up with Mr. Bill pate on the sole of his shoe.
Mr. Bill Goes to a Magic Show-Sluggo is very hungry, so Mr. Hands offers him Spot. Ohh!!! Spot's gone, except for his tail, which is sticking out of Sluggo's mouth. Mr. Hands suggests some grooming; he begins with a vigorous hair brushing that tears off the top of Mr. Bill's skull "I don't want to be bald," Mr. Bill squeals. Fortunately, Mr. Hands has a "mod-look toupee," giving Mr. Bill a Beatlesque appearance. Mr. Hands introduces the world-famous magician The Amazing Sluggo. Sluggo, in silver hat and cape, is going to levitate Mr. Bill. Mr. Bill is held aloft over poisoned tipped spikes and told, "Okay, Mr. Bill, levitate yourself!" The traditional sawing-in-half trick results in three pieces of Mr. Bill.

I guess i am not very original, upon further investigation I noticed that there was or is a mr bill on the forum that used the avatar.

Ohh Nooo!!! I can’t believe that was so long ago; 34 years? They MUST be mistaken :o)! Too funny… yeah, I recall a Mr. Bill floating around here a while back, but with my sense of time who knows how long ago it was. Thanks for the peek back into those days… very cool, Dave.

Maybe he’ll pop in again, no doubt with long gray hair…

Every week we when it first came out we would stop our bar hopping and find someplace to watch SNL with a bunch of friends. I was always so fryed I was never able to stay awake until the end of the show! LOL

I was 14 or 15 and (believe it or not) my dad wouldn't let me stay up to watch it.
