CHIP MCNEELY ON....

VIDEO GAMES

“Nintend-who? A ‘Play’-Station? What even is a ‘SEGA’? I think the kids are finally getting tired of looking at robots fighting on screens all day for fun. In the next five years we’ll see this whole ‘video game’ fad disappear.”

TOM HANKS

“Okay yes I liked JOE VS. THE VOLCANO but isn’t America finally getting sick of this guy?”

COFFEE SHOPS

“Who is going to pay more than $2 for a cup of coffee? Then sit around and drink it in some funky chair all day? Not me! And probably not anybody else!”

MICHAEL JORDAN

“I think he looks as good as he ever has playing baseball. I bet we never see him on a basketball court ever again.”

NEW NBC SHOW ‘FRIENDS’

“I’ve never been so bored watching these six nobodies talk about their lives. Why doesn’t a network bring back South of Sunset already??!?”

LASERDISCS

“Finally a technology I can get behind!”
