Another Little Rascals reference on Saturday Night Live. The penultimate episode before Lorne Michaels' initial departure features a Weekend Update bit where Bill Murray reports on an image of the Pope and a black gentleman.
"Pope John Paul II ordained as a bishop Stymie Beard of the old Our Gang Comedies last week. Stymie becomes the only member of The Little Rascals to get as high as bishop in the Catholic church."

Another one, possibly referenced earlier but I'm too lazy to check...
Famous rocker Gram Parsons named one of his groups The International Submarine Band after the Gang's group in 'Mike Fright.'

LOL. On a satellite radio channel, Martha Quinn asked yesterday which "artist" released an 80s album with such cuts as "Fee Tines A Mady" and "Wookin' Pa Nub..." vimeo.com/74504707

Well, this is... vaguely disturbing...
Just found out Bug Hall, who played Alfalfa in the 1995 remake, is starring in one of the AMERICAN PIE movies.
Yes, yes, he's an adult, he's legal, he does have to make a living and all that. But it is somewhat disconcerting to imagine Alfalfa making masturbation jokes...

That yet another AMERICAN PIE movie is being produced 20 years on might be considered excessively masturbatory by some? Of course, one of our own Canadian exports might "Levy" an opposing judgement regarding that!  CHEERS!

Dunno about that. Bittman/Levy plays it clean and (of course) gets paid in the green stuff, NOT THE WHITE STUFF!!  "HOWAAAYAH??"

Not sure if this really counts but Lucas, one of the kids from KIDS REACT, performs in dance contests. One routine he does with his girl-partner is 'L-O-V-E,' the song Waldo sings to Darla in the 1995 remake. Lucas doesn't sing himself or perform to Waldo's version of the song; it's just the same song.

given how much crap Darla Hood gets in modern times for her vamping and wiggling in the Our Gang musical numbers, I've just discovered a photo of how NOT to dress your pre-teenage female singer:

Yeah, I'm just hoping that they didn't realize what would happen to the costume under the lights...

Oddly enough, something called the DICKIE MOORE Stakes is being run tomorrow at Charles Town in West Virginia. But this is simply coincidence, and Mary Kornman never knew this Dickie... "amy more", or ever. This Dickie Moore was (is?) a track bigwig down there. I don't think he ever played hooky to go fishing, but it's Wild WV, one never knows...
