Christine Baranski Friday - Camping with Pugsley

In the 1993 film Addams Family Values, Christine Baranksi (shown here with Peter McNichol) plays Becky Martin-Granger, a counselor at a summer camp the Addams Family children were sent to.I was reminded of this when I drove by Camp Pugsley the other day. Yes, Camp Pugsley. No, it is not a place where they send bratty little boys like Pugsley Addams. Well. maybe it is, depending on how Pugsley Addams would grow up. It's actually a prison.

It's a little out of the way, but near by on the highway there's a sign with an ominous warning not to pick up hitchhikers.

No, I haven't picked up any there. Not that I am likely to pick up hitchhikers anyway. Sorry, Michael and Lincoln Scofield, you'll have to walk,

Below is a photo I got of the inmates at Camp Pugsley playing baseball and running.

Oh no! That is just too funny. :D
Happy Christine Baranski Friday!
I think I'll celebrate by watching Adams Family Values today.

I wasn't the only one who thought this when first hearing the name of this place

From a <a href = "http://www.flickr.com/photos/wordollhouses/2644389081/>Flikr photo</A>:

"Camp Pugsley Prison-wow. It sound like the name of a jailhouse drawn by Charles Addams."

I love The Adams Family, in all of it's incarnations...or should I say incarcerations?
