Discovered by Lorne Michaels, creator of "Saturday Night Live", "The Kids in the Hall" - Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson - exploded into the American consciousness when their half-hour sketch comedy show debuted on cable’s HBO in 1989. The troupe’s distinctly edgy humor broke new ground with their characterizations of secretaries, prostitutes, gays, drug users, and oddball creations like the half human Chicken Lady, the vengeful "head crusher" and the chauvinist Cabbage Head. Critical acclaim, Emmy and Ace nominations, and a legion of extremely dedicated fans quickly followed the debut.
The show itself ended in 1995, but lived on in constant re-runs on cable’s Comedy Central, offering new fans the opportunity to fall under the "hilariously warped" (Entertainment Weekly) spell of the "Kids’" spin on life, love, lust, middle-class values, and the dark corners of suburbia. Since the show ended, each member of the troupe has been involved in a variety of extremely successful projects, but finally acquiesced to the steady demands from fans to take their classic sketches out of the hall and back in front of a live audience in 2000. A movie version of the tour, “Same Guys, New Dresses” followed, along with another tour and DVD in 2002 (“Tour of Duty”).

I live in California and I need your help getting alternative medication ツ for my spine injury and subsequent mental breakdown. I have been unable to work and have been on workers’ compensation for almost 3 years now due to a misdiagnosed and mistreated work injury. I’m currently taking 12 prescription medications twice a day including multiple pain and psych meds. When the pain gets exceptionally bad I have to drink alcohol with the pain meds just to get through the day. Drs have stated that my chronic pain and psych problems make me an excellent candidate to benefit from medical marijuana legally used per California state law. My Drs are unable to prescribe it for me but have given me the ok to see a Dr that does prescribe it without assistance from any insurance. That will cost me $150 to see the Dr and get my card for the first year and whatever the amount is to get the medication itself. I have tons of bills from being off work for 3 years and just don’t have the money.
I’m asking for help to cover the costs of medical marijuana for my own, legal and private use. I should be able to afford it if some of my friends could please help by sending even one dollar to my PayPal account maxxsullins@msn.com. I want to sleep again, overcome my agoraphobia, spend my days with decreased pain, decreased anxiety and decreased depression. I want to decrease my use of prescription medications before I permanently damage my body. Thank you very much for any support you can give me.
