whatcha talkin 'bout...chachi?

at a recent party at paramount studios in la '80s sitcom stars scott baio and gary coleman caught up as to what they have been doing after being a child star of that era. here is an example of the conversation that could have followed:


scott: so gary, whats been going on since we last saw you on diff'rent strokes?

gary: you know, the usual...i was in an episode of married...with children, martin, the fresh prince of bel-air and did some voice work for the the simpsons

scott: yeah, yeah...that's great and all...didn't i hear that you were working as a security guard?

gary: oh yeah...that...that was just to pay some bills and-

scott: didn't you also punch some chick who was trying to get an autograph from you? i mean, i know you were no chachi or charles...but that's not how to bag the ladies...

gary: in my defense, she had been hounding me and i felt threatened by-

scott: threatened? she was a bus driver asking for your autograph!

gary: hey - i was going through a hard time - you try being taken seriously as a security guard at 4' 8"!

scott: i never had to worry about any of that, i was always shagging some babe...did you know i broke off my engagement to pamela anderson twice? there are only a few...well maybe not so few...elite men who can fall into that category...hell, i dated half the cast of baywatch!

gary: yeah, well i was a nominated for governor of california in the 2003 recall...i came in 8th in a field of 135 candidates!

scott: yeah, but i'm going to be starring in my own reality show on vh1 titled 'scott baio is 45 ... and single!" during july 2007 (watch your local listings!)

gary: that may be true, but at least i don't look like some washed out red carpet reporter from e!

scott: yeah? you a security guard for the fashion police now? by the way - nice hat...


oh how the mighty have fallen.
