That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Where was that really bad show, with what's his name the blonde guy from Miami Vice, and Carmen Electra, and there was a yellow corvette-like car, and that short dark little guy that you see everywhere, and I think the blonde guy ended up dating the girl who played his daughter... was that set in San Diego?

If you're talking about Nash Bridges, that was San Francisco.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Nash Bridges? Don't know where it was set, but the commercials were all over the NCAA men's basketball tourney one year.

Yeah, Dynasty seriously. All the opening credit shots are downtown Denver.

RE: Nash Bridges. That starred Don Johnson & Cheech Marin. Yasmine Bleeth was in it, too, but not Carmen Electra.

Thanks, ChiKat. I am indeed talking about Nash Bridges, and Don Johnson, and Cheech Marin, and I meant Yasmine Bleeth, and not Carmen Electra. I just imdb'ed it. So now I'm chock full of knowledge again. And, yeah, San Francisco. I knew it was California, but not LA, so it was worth a shot.

ETA: x-posty, of course. Sometimes I just like to give pedantry a chance in the spotlight. (Kidding, there, since it is reading oddly, to me, even though I know what intonation I am trying to use.)

Man. I think I need to eat, and grab some caffeine, or something.

I believe that Macleod in NYC? Wasn't that where the funny came in?

Wasn't it McCloud? Dennis Weaver, right?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I just read a report that the SUV was left on the track by a man who intended to commit suicide, changed his mind and got out, leaving his car there.

There has been much talk of it here on campus.

I'm trying to figure out the logic for driving the SUV on the tracks instead of taking the more usual approach of throwing himself. I'm guessing it was either 1) ambivalence--wanting to leave a message, but not sure he wanted to actually die, or 2) it was someone so identified with his car that he wanted to take it with him.
