What to serve at an Odd Couple party?

Mango

Once there was a man named Oscar, Oscar, Oscar! And he turned on his best friend, Oscar, Oscar, Oscar!

"We made it again!" (kisses the floor)

I think it was the one with Fake Edna trying her hand at being an Umpire. He's leaving his room and breaks out while walking back. They used to play the show in MeTV and I'd watch it getting ready for work.

Price-gauged sandwich on a broken subway car. "Eight dollars!!"

Good one! And at the end Felix gives Oscar a puppy, which we never see again.

Here we only get one episode a week on Sunday night on MeTv after Columbo (another favorite of mine) and before Honeymooners (also a favorite)! When we used to get the New York channel 11 they showed Odd Couple all the time!

On topic:

Toast that isn't too dark
Eggs that aren't too loose
(Prepared by your ex-wife)
Added bonus , don't soak the bowl and enrage Felix! Hee hee!

Bottled beer with a nipple on it for a sense of security!

I'm dying as I thought I was the one with a good memory! My sister got me into the show when I was around 10 and I shaped my worldview around Oscar Madison. Rhoda was another one that just bled late '70's NYC.

Poorly prepared Japanese food. (I loved when Felix yelled at the guy in his own language)

I've seen it a lot, I bought the whole series on DVD a few years ago, really always was a show I never get tired of!

On topic:
Chow fun (sp?) prepared for a Chinese professional wrestler

Also bagels and rocks/lox purchased by same wrestler

They had the entire 1st season on Youtube, but it got taken down. I used to watch it on a laptop at an elderly home I was working part time at. I wonder if it's on blu ray.

One more aside: I never knew if that was meant to be a "professional" wrestler (as in WWE) or an amature doing an exhibition fight. It would be funny to see a weigh in these days.

Pizza for an eating contest, crusts required.

I don't know, did you check Amazon?

I always had the impression that wrestler was a "real" wrestler, not WWF or the like. Perhaps an Olympian?

I don't know where to ask this, but when reading/posting from my phone, after a thread gets a certain length, I can't read it any further. In other words, the "show next twenty" stops coming up. Does anyone know how to fix this??

On topic: hamburgers prepared by a monk

I think Wals had regular DVD's like cheap. The whole wrestling thing is weird because legit, mat based wrestling is somehow considered Amateur while pre-determined, scripted wrestling is Professional. I think the Japanese champ was representing Japan as a Roman-Greco style shoot wrestler. And we was also on Barney Miller (ha ha). I did notice the replies get smaller in size. IMBB is strange as I've this is my 3rd account since the mid-00's. I go on sometimes and it's just gone.

Hastily made cold cuts made for a high stakes poker game. I actually did that once when I found out a bunch of friends were coming over quickly.

The episode summary just says Oscar covering an international wrestling exibition. I think the character was representing China, he had Miss Hong Kong with him.

Hmmm, that's not exactly what I mean, it's like after x number of pages, I can't go any further? I'll have to see if it happens with the laptop. Oh and sometimes I have to sign in over and over and over.

Unbuttered popcorn at a fat farm

I've got 2 that I'm not sure if are from the TV series or the original movie

A turkey leg stuffed in the couch cushions
Ramaki (sp?) at poker night
A plate of linguini thrown against the wall (from movie)

Fresh bread baked by O and F being monks

I was going to use the Ramaki one, but wasn't sure how to spell it (or what it is, for that matter!)

Something special from Béarnaise Barbera. If you can tell me her real last name and what the secret ingredients were, you'll will the first ever Odd Couple April Fool World Food Championship.

Barbara Arcola
Dry mustard and a cup of beer

I always felt a little bad for her, but Oscar's love of the electric knife made up for it.

A loaded burrito pointed straight at your heart.

Oh, I didn't feel sorry for her. She stole Felix's recipe, tried to take advantage of the fact that Oscar was trying to take advantage of her, and she won the cooking contest because of Felix being honest!

Romaki is a Greek kabob thing. You said it
upthread, was that when they turned the heat up to try to sweat the poker players
out?
I got nothing right now, must think.....?

True. Maybe it was she did confess at the end and owned up to it. That seems almost rare these days. I did love that heat sceene when Murray replies that he's just a "hot Jewish cop". The supporting cast on that show was just amazing.

Uhhhh......Ummmmmm.....

Rump Roast (you are what you eat)

I liked when they were trying to vote to end the game, the one guy said "I'm not voting! I'm neutral, like Switzerland"
Other guy - "yeah and you got all the money, like Switzerland!" He he!

Hmmm.....hiding the dice made out of sugar cubes when caught. "Eat the dice!"
"I can't! I'm diabetic!"

Sand dabs
Canned squid

Speed was one of my all time favorite secondary characters as I used to play cards virtually non-stop in my youth. He even had a little scene when they all had to keep Oscar calm and he breaks into this poker story when he was about 10 years old. The monk one, too, perfect dialog:

"I remained in my room, eyes shut"
Oscar: "And he's the social director!"

----

Bar Peanuts (which Oscar spills before talking to Dacaon Jones)

(Felix lectures the help about how messy it looks)

^^where? At the bar? I thought they implied it wasn't messy because Oscar hadn't been in yet, lol
Hell, Felix even complained in COURT because the witness stand was messy!

Jar of olives for Gloria
Milk and cookies for Murray, also homemade cookies for an off Broadway nude actress
Chocolate candy for Oscar's mother

You may have just answered an long time "did I see it or was I dream it" Odd Couple moment. I SWEAR I remember a scene when the bartender tells Felix that Oscar hadn't arrived because there wasn't a bowl of peanuts spread across the bar. One half of me remembers Oscar showing up in a semi-rush and immediatey elbowing the bowl everywhere. The other half remember him arriving to a somewhat ticked off Felix.

Bathtub! That was hilarious. "Felix, I work at the library. Felix, I work at the Biology section..."

Uh...Chocolate for Leonard, bad complexion or not.

No, are remembering correctly! I think Felix shows up first, it's not messy yet, no beer on the floor, no peanuts on the bar. Oscar is late, Deacon leaves before Oscar arrives spilling the peanuts. Felix is angry and puts Oscar's new watch in a glass of beer.

Spring Cola for a photo shoot with Howard Cosell!

Bathtub - "do you have a library CARD?" Lol!

Gray spaghetti eaten over the sink with tweezers. Roast beef carved with a switch blade. Also a roast kicked out the window.
