Natter 34: Freak With No Name
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
David Hyde Pierce is freaking genius.
He really has an impeccable sense of timing, and in terms of physical comedy, I can't think of many who are better.
Though one of my favorite episodes, which I caught completely by accident, since I had stopped watching it years before, was the bar mitzvah episode.
I saw DHP do a Ricky Martin spoof in which he ripped off his Niles-esque suit to reveal Ricky-like leather pants and a tight top, all while singing about "pantalones de vaca" (to the tune of "la vida loca").
I about died. So brilliant. He can hold a stage like nobody's business.
Damn, I wish I'd seen that!
I didn't see the Bar Mitzvah episode either.
I found the text to the pantalones performance.
The NYT Magazine article about autopsies is also very good.

Well, that's QUITE the x-post.
Penguins and airport security.
Did they make the penguins take off their shoes?
That really is a cute picture. Kinda' absurd that the penguins have to get out of their carriers to be x-rayed.
I am very happy with Grey's Anatomy, for the record.
I find, in comparison to ER, I can barely remember the medical things that come up. I can recall them by tracing back through the emotional narrative. Which isn't a value judgment, but I was wondering if it'd still be off limits for Plei since it's almost coincidentally in a hospital.
Teen screen star Lindsay Lohan was shocked to discover burglars had broken into her plush Los Angeles pad when she returned from a trip to New York earlier this month. The criminals relieved the Freaky Friday actress of more than $10,000 worth of electronic equipment including two television sets and a DVD player, according to American TV show Celebrity Justice. Police told the notorious program they are sure they are hunting more than one suspect due to the size of the TV sets, and that they discovering discarded liquor bottles at the crime scene. Lohan is reportedly happy that no life was lost in the incident, which saw her bedroom ransacked, only replaceable material goods.
Now, that sounds like a clever girl who locks her sex tapes up somewhere nice and safe.
I've been reading up on the Mitch Albom scandal and its repercussion (or lack thereof). It sure sounds like he's earned himself a cushy job, immunity to consequence aside:
Hutton said Albom ordinarily writes a column on Sundays, which may or may not focus on sports, while writing sports columns during the week “when he wants.”
Since they're not sure if he was paid during his suspension, he's certainly not compensated by article. Nice gig.
