Can we PLEASE green-light this one with this exact headline?! :)

/studying spanish.

Dude, those funeral directors so got to mun... eh, fark it. She seemed kinda cool.

TommyymmoT I thought it was sucks cocks, not sucks dicks. I could be wrong, but either way, I am sure the priest got the point about his mom in the hot holy place felating.

I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit.
And on a slitted sheet I sit. I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit.
The sheet I slit, that sheet was it.

I've never felt comfortable enough around a woman to say that.

lick me!

"We'll will have two bowls of split plea soup to go, eh!"

Slit-pea what?

/Ignorant european.

I'm watching "All the King's Men" right now on DVD... she apparently was the last member of the cast to still be alive.

Unlike some, here's a movie that actually should've been remade/updated by now... basically the story of how one man's ambition blinds everyone around him, entangling them in a web of corruption, with a little Huey Long mixed in.

slit-pea soup.

sexy.

I don't know why that headline has me so tickled...funny.

/too early to be laughing this loud

eeeewwww.
slit-pea soup sounds like a fetish that I just don't want to know about.

Slim- good catch.

From the Exorcist move. The soup Reagan(sp?) was vomitting.

I am going to suggest to the chef that he make some slit pea soup. Sounds tasty...

From the Exorcist site...

"McCambridge was a great actress who had won an Academy Award for her work in ALL THE KINGS MEN but before that she had done a number of memorable radio programs for people like Orson Welles. It turned out she was in Dallas, Texas, doing WHOS AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF on stage. I spoke to her on the phone, and to my joy she sounded exactly as she had sounded thirty years earlier on the radio. I told her about this project that I was working on, and she agreed to come and see it."

"We flew her out to Los Angeles and she watched the picture and said; OK, Ill have a crack at it. In fact I think I can do most of it with my own voice. So then we went into a sound-stage at Warner Bros. where she worked for maybe three weeks doing the demon voice. And she really went for it. She was chain-smoking; swallowing raw eggs; getting me to tie her to a chair; all these painful things just to produce the sound of that demon in torment. And as she did it the most curious things would happen in her throat. Double and triple sounds would emerge at once, wheezing sounds, very much akin to what you can imagine a person inhabited by various demons would sound like."

Not surprised she's dead now.

Does anyone else get a really uneasy feeling in their groin when they read the phrase "slit pea"?

I mean farkers, rather than farkettes.....

Mods, there is a mis-spelling in the headline.

it's spelled pee.

/ewwww...

It should have read "split pea soup". It is a soup made of peas that were dried, split and then boiled to a creamy consistency normally with ham. It's very good, as opposed to having a slit-pea.

I read the headline, and I thought, oh no, did Linda Blair die?? (she's only what - 45 or so?)

I got the split-pea reference right away, just the wrong person.

She also did a lot of stuff for the CBS Radio Mystery Theater.

Split pea sounds even more painfull than a slit pea, but then the english have mushy peas, which just beats the lot.

CheeseEatingBulldog
Mushy peas with curry sauce on your fish'n'chips - luverly!

nubianrdly
You forgot to netion that the peas have been "peeled" as well.

The last time I was back on Mother-Island I realised they don't sell fips 'n chish in newspapers anymore....I missed reading my food.

yeah we have split pea soup here (UK) too but its not green...its more yellow, like lentil soup. i always thought it was just regular pea soup in The Exorcist...not something i spend much time thinking about and shouldn't start now

/back to work

Johnny Guitar was a good film. Sort of standard Western fare with a bit extra- strong characters maybe.

And all this time I thought that was the voice of Burgess Meredith

know what i had for breakfast?

pea soup

know what i had for lunch?

pea soup

know what i did all night?

I'd hit it!

What's this mess about peeing in slits?

One time, without thinking, I invited a Jewish friend over to the house for wifey's terrific homemade split pea and ham soup. Imagine my embarrasment when she pointed out that there is no "soup exception" to the kosher rule.

hmmmmm slit-pea, is that a metaphor for something?

/assuming dirty things ;)

I watched it once, and will not watch it again as long as I can help it. That is only movie that has ever scared me, and most of it was due to her voice!

Rest in peas.

Rest in peas

*Golf Clap*

The list of her film work also mentions the movie "Giant" from 1956... that's a really good flick if you get a chance to see/rent it. Really explains the mentality of Texas oil-men, and it's got James Dean... in the prime of his career.

And I thought her claim to fame was playing Dr. Smiths love interest in an ep. of Lost in Space. (Season 1 - The Space Croppers).

All Hail the Submitter!

Where do people come up with this stuff? (Although that was arguably less painfull to sit thru than the actual movie... Good show!)

BTW, great farkin' headline. I had to RTFA and think about it. I don't like it when I have to think... And I try not to do it often... Once per day. I've gotten it outta the way early, so I'm free for mind-numbing Farking for the rest of the day.

I thought this was going to be a hockey thread.
/go Habs!

So was she 85 or 87? Sounds like a NY Times story...

Charlotte Mercedes Agnes McCambridge was born on March 16, 1916, in Joliet, Ill., Ruppert said. McCambridge, at some point in life, began giving her birth date as St. Patrick's Day 1918, Ruppert said.

So she's listed at 85, she was really 87, they both are correct.

And you smell like pea souuuuuuup!

I really, hate it when people, use unnecessary, commas in, the headli,nes.

Pea Soup Andersen's!!
http://www.geocities.com/foodedge/peasoup.htm

The son, who later took the last name of his mother's second husband, Markle, killed his wife and children and himself in 1987.

This was John Markle, here in Little Rock. This case creeped the fark out of me when it happened. He was a prominant buisinessman who lived in the nicer part of town with his wife and two daughters. One early morning, he kills the wife. He put on this scaaarrrry rubber mask that looked more like Abe Vigoda than Dracula, and went into the girls' room. I guess it was nice of him to consider how traumatic it would be if the little girls had known it was really their father killing them and not some rubber-masked burglar.

Anyhow. Those girls were roughly my age at the time of the murders. When it came out, at the bottom of the press releases it would say "Markle was the son of actress Mercedes McCambridge." And we all went who?

Enough comments about the incorrect headline. We don't need to be slitting hairs.

Oh no! Poor Linda Blair! And her career was doing so well, I mean, especially after that Leslie Neilsen film "Repossessed."

..oh? The voice? The person who did the voice was responsible for people not wanting split-pea soup? Oh.

We should call Linda just in case to make sure she's okay.

Will N. Dowd,

I, disagree. I, enjoy adding extra, commas.

I just looked up Mercedes McCambridge on yahoo and guess what ad they had at the bottom of the page?

"Dawn of the Dead"

Where the hell is pea souper?

Isn't that 'slit pee soup', rather?

Shouldn't Linda Blair get most of the credit?

My heart nearly stopped until I RTFA and learned it is not about Linda Blair. She's boobie hotness!

For the second between reading the headline and clicking the link, micke was under the impression that Linda Blair had died.

micke is out

Rest in peas, lady.
Nice voice.

And for the record, it is "cocks."

i do not get this headline, nor the jokes in this thread. please be explaining.
okay wait, i read the article.
still not too impressed.

Pea soup or no, Linda Blair was hot in the Exorcist.

God, I'm old.

Actress Mercedes McCambridge Dies at 85
LOS ANGELES - Actress Mercedes McCambridge, who won an Oscar for the 1949 film "All the King's Men" and later provided the raspy voice of the demon-possessed girl in "The Exorcist," has died. She was 87.


If you read the article - she claimed to be two years younger than she was. That's why the descrepancy.

I had to watch Johnny Guitar in a film studies class... It wasn't terribly interesting, so I left with this girl that used to sit next to me and we went to see the Birdcage... We had planned on seeing Muppet Treasure Island, but it wasn't showing... So, in a way, I have my very own Mercedes McCambridge anecdote... But not really.

Andersen's split pea soup, the best in the world. Anyone that's travelled the I-5 corridor knows what I mean.

I think THE EXORCIST did more for Christianty than JESUS CHAINSAW MASSACRE could ever dream.

THE EXORCIST still remains one of my favorite films of all time. I wonder what happened to that prequel that was supposed to come out last year?

heh. headline says she died at 85, in the article it says 87. retards

Q: What's the difference between roast beef and pea soup?

A: Anybody can roast beef.

headline says she died at 85, in the article it says 87.
Take the mean, and you will discover her TRUE age. Dun dun dunnnnnn...

I don't care what anyone sez, The Exorcist is STILL one of - if not THE - scariest movie EVAR!

Headline was a bit misleading. I too thought Linda Blair had died. Got to play with her in a "celebrity" blackjack tournament a few years back. Sweet as candy and about 4'10". At the time she was married to Murray Langston (the Unknown Comic)

You won't be too glad to hear this, but the prequel has become a victim of the Hollywood crap-churning machine. There's a good article about it here.

It's a shame, really. In the meantime, Exorcist 3 is not a bad flick, falls down compared to the first, but actually is a sequel to the first, whereas Exorcist 2 was absolute crap.

"she had been promised prominent mention in the credits.


But when she attended the preview, her name was missing. As she left the theater in tears, Friedkin tried to explain that there had been no time to insert her credit. The Screen Actors Guild (news - web sites) intervened and forced her inclusion in the credits."

now that's sad, the director of the movie promised her a credit, didnt give it to her, and made her cry.

She smelled like soup...She smelled exactly
like beef vegetable soup

let jebus fark you!
