The Home Economics Story
To keep myself amused while I was home sick on Tuesday I watched a lot of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on YouTube. That and getting a chuckle every time Westy walked down the hallway to my bedroom and gave me a baleful look that not only was I home but in his favourite daytime sleeping spot.
Anyway, MST3K's thing is to rip on really really bad and old science fiction types of films. I won't bore you with those I as know they are not everyone's cup of tea. However, I think we can all relate to the horror that is the 1950's era "teenage propaganda" short films. Films that extol the virtues of pulling up your socks, eating dinner with your family and just conforming dammit! Conform! Conform!
Sorry... I found this little gem on Tuesday. To summarize, little Kay decides she's going to study Home Economics in collage. Because home economics will prepare her for the most important job of all - being Mrs. Kay Cunningham. That's right, being married and raising your family in a tasteful and pleasing environment is your goal and nothing will get you there faster than a course in Home Economics:
Anyone still long for the "good old days"?
3 Witty Remarks:
And to think you wasted all that time in nursing school.
My mother was a Home Economics major. I tease her a lot because she wasn't a very good cook.
Haha! I remember that Home Ec 'short subject'. I was a huge fan of MST3K back in the day, didn't realise it was on YT now... *goes to look*
