I got to dance on the show!

I told them that Lisa didn't allow me to dance in the store so we made a deal. She could have a "jeans" party and she would let me dance.

If I can dance.

I have to do the hucklebuck.

The Dude said...: Glad I never watched that show.

But for purposes of Troop's show, it would have to be Jean Jean etc.; February 13, 2012 at 10:56 PM

Trooper York said...: Oh I know most of the stuff I say and do will be on the cutting room floor.

For example they wanted me to wear jeans for the jean episode and the gag was that I wouldn't wear jeans. So they say to mean to say emphaticly that I won't wear jeans.

So I go "There is a better chance I would take some pills and drown in three inches of water."

Everybody laughed but they said it was too topical. Imagine that.; February 14, 2012 at 11:38 AM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: WTF is this fixation that they have on jeans?

Really. A woman who is ample or plus sized is not going to want to wear blue jeans as a fashion statement or as part of a professional wardrobe.

Maybe I'm out of touch. Jeans to me are casual, working in the yard, painting the house, making cookies attire.

I don't get it.; February 14, 2012 at 11:53 AM

blake said...: The premise of "The Gong Show," of course, was that people would do anything to be on television.

Remember when "anything" was to act a little goofy for 2 minutes?

Good times. Good times.; February 14, 2012 at 12:11 PM

Trooper York said...: That was our thought exactly DBQ.

We are not going to make jeans. It is not gonna happen. The wife wants to make them in a perfect world but what we would do is go to a good company and have them do a private label with Lisa doing tweaks to fix it the way she wants.

But there was a lot of crazy manufactured drama in the episode. They went to a hipster jean company in Williamsburg that make "vanity" jeans and it was a fiasco. We had our Chinese factory dummy up a pair of jeans and they came out much better. But they would come in at an effective cost of $100 a pair and when I would mark them up nobody would buy them. TV people never listen.

They don't want reality in reality TV.

I don't know how much of me saying it ain't going to happen will make it to the final episode. I explain how it is not economical and how we can't afford to do it. Some of it might make it in but I think I am going to be protrayed as the grouchy cheap guy and not the voice of reason. Which is fine.

I am Elmer J Fudd, millionaire. I have a mansion and a yacht.

LOL. As long as your wife looks good. Right?

My favorite jeans are from Wal Mart.

They come in petite to fit my short stature. They come in different fabrics. The black ones are nice. They are CHEAP. I don't care if they get dirty or if I feel like wiping my hands on them it doesn't matter. And....they look just fine for what they are.... just ....jeans.

I'd rather spend my money on good shoes, sweaters, dresses and nicer more put together outfits.

But what do I know. I'm out of touch with the urban hipster elites. /shrug; February 14, 2012 at 12:30 PM

Michael Haz said...: Listen Ralph Cramden, you're on the right track about the jeans, no matter what the producers of the show mumble.

Turn this to your advantage - make a clear (maybe angry, even) statement that your store won't sell jeans (and most other things) made overseas. Wave the flag! Get the right kind of customers to shop at Lee Lee's.

Always protect the brand.; February 14, 2012 at 3:23 PM
