And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Kristen Schaal will be huge

That whole crop of Mee-ow-ers is doing fantastically. (SNL a few weeks ago was practically a reunion show -- Seth in the cast, Liz in the monologue, and Ryan as Prince Harry during Weekend Update.) Schaal wasn't even close to being the funniest in her cast, but she's got a quirky look and voice that'll take her really far.

Now tagless for your comfort.

It makes so much sense to me that the IRS would want people filing online -- it's got to be so much easier for them.

I think the savings was so much last year that they're extending it to everyone instead of just select taxpayers.

Nora, DON'T MELT YOUR BRAIN! You may need it later.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My company has its own version of Turbo Tax that it markets, so they let us use it for free. Unfortunately, since I own nothing, I just file at the state and federal websites using the EZ forms, so I don't need to use the very convenient corporate benefit, nor do I need to access the "Ask the tax expert!" discussion board that they have from Feb. 1 to April 15, staffed by co-workers whose regular job is to write tax analysis for the Federal Tax Reporter we publish.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If I go down for chai now, I'm scared that "Doing The Butt" will be lodged in my brain. Better by far than "Say My Name" which was my only companion coming in (rental doesn't have a tape drive).

Must wait. Earworm will eat me.

I have this urge to buy stuff. Like right now. It is so silly. I do not need anything and certainly do not need to be spending money. Where does this come from?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't want to beat up on this guy too much-- although the section Heather quoted was remarkably stupid, for the following reasons among others:

1. Men have just as many weapons at their disposal for attracting women, if not more;
2. Women can "grow breasts" if they want to get attention? WTF?!
3. And I don't think female social development is predicated on attracting males.

I've got that feeling, too. It's caused by my anticipation of a tax refund check. I have about three different things I want and I'm trying to justify buying them.

he really should have said "buy breasts". Breasts are not chia pets. duh.

I don't know how she was then, but she's amazing now; Bob thinks she's the funniest woman he's ever met, IIRC. But you're right, her whole "look" is going to make her a star.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

The "men are just funnier" thing just bothers me a lot- not least because my sister is (generally) a comedic actress and writer. He was writing it as a companion or commentary on the Summers remark, which I thought was just as dumb.
