Why and how would you know this Chris?! Apparently I live with C.H.U.D. on a daily basis.

But yes, it may be true….some of the time. However, in my defense the phone was in my lap when I jumped out of the car….it hit the street….and slid into the drain.

The weird thing is, C.H.U.D. manages to enter conversations I am in some way a part of on a near weekly basis. And every time it does, I wonder: Who knew at the time that that movie would be so memorable?

Thanks for the B&B clip, BTW. I loved that show. In fact, the first thing I ever searched for on the Web was a B&B fan site. Back then I was shocked to find one. Now I know better: if it exists, someone online worships it.

MUST. SEE. PICTURES.

*just ordered “B&B: The Complete Series” on DVD*

Wow, the Salt Lake sewers must be far different than the ones I remember as a public works employee in western new york. Unless Utah sewers are paved with gold and underground people greet you with Starburst Gummi Bursts and Five Guys cheeseburgers, I can’t imagine being able to overcome the stink.
So, kudos. I hope you’re around if I ever drop my phone into something gross.

*is suddenly flashing back to the New York City sewer rat (read “large enough to be mistaken for a small dog”) that camped out in front of a friend’s dorm back in college*

*sung in crazy voice* “Two Four Six Oh ONNNNNNNE!”

These were not sewers from The SLC…

I actually love Hugo’s uberlong detour about the Parisian sewer system. I adore the unabridged book beginning to end. It was my favorite novel for years.

How could I forget buffy season 1! The sewers of sunnydale where the master lay in wait to no avail!

And it’s either let’s all kill constance or graveyard for lunatics where ray Bradbury and harry h. Take a storm drain from east la to the ocean. Yee ha for later Bradbury works!

I enjoyed that part in les mis too, it just threw me off a little.

And yeah, technically it was a storm drain, not a sewer, and it hasn’t rained recently so it wasn’t that gross. Christy has the pictures.

Generally speaking, the sewers of the Buffyverse were never a place you really wanted to go, even after season 1.

It seemed like in every season of both Buffy and Angel there was at least one monster of the week that called it home. And that’s in addition to a town/city’s regular vampire population, which used the sewers as the best method to travel safely during sunlight hours.

I’m pretty sure there isn’t a sewer on the planet where people really want to spend much time, Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller occupied or no.

And no, I did not have to look that acronym up. As I said, it’s amazing how often the subject of “C.H.U.D.” arises in my daily life.

So glad you finally spelled that one out, Amber. At the risk of losing my geek cred, I admit i was totally lost on the meaning and significance of C.H.U.D.

Two things I learned today:

1) Gunn refers to “Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers” in an episode of “Angel.” I’m sure I noted that at the time, but I don’t remember the event now.

2) There is talk of a remake of “C.H.U.D.” If you have ever seen this movie, you will understand how this just sums up all that is wrong with movies these days. All I can say is, at least this time I don’t have to fear they will sully the original.

Let’s see….sewers….there was this one time we went out to the country and crawled through like two miles of sewer line in a new area being developed. At the end of this two miles, we had to jump 10 feet in the air out of a sewer hole, shimmy around a fence on top of concrete rising and make our way back to the field we parked in. Is it bad that this was done at like 1 am in the morning?

Don’t forget the movie Ben. With a then normal Michael Jackson. You cannot mention that you took pictures of such an event and not share them.
