Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Isn't that a Lubitsch film? Very saucy and charming as I recall.

Lubitsch-ish, but Rouben Mamoulian, actually.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'll miss you terribly.

Hey Tim, your name shows up on TiVo's "Wish List" function, under the director category.
Yeah? Well my dream is to win the lottery and never have to write, kill or leave the house again.
Of course, it possible to do the first two without having to resort to the last.
C'mon, you'd miss the writing. All right. The killing. Surely, you'd miss the killing?

P-C, Hinduism came up in the Sunday School class I'm teaching. I quoted your tagline (sans the "In conclusion,") saying, "My Hindu friend says, 'Hinduism is a famous religion, plus, sexual congress'," but I actually heard it whooshing over everyone's head. Where's the tag from, anyhow?

"Love Me Tonight." Chevalier, MacDonald, Loy, Rodgers and also Hart. Soooo good.
My father-in-law's favorite musical. And I'll take this opportunity to pimp his new book. My favorite illustration of his is one of character actors from the thirties & forties who usually ended up playing the star's wealthy father, including LMT's Charlie Ruggles, Eugene Pallette, Charles Coburn, Edward Arnold, and... someone else. I'll ask him if he did an LMT painting or one of Rodgers & Hart (he's done a lot of songwriters.) Seems like he said he tried a Thin Man series but gave up because he couldn't figure out how to caricature Myrna Loy to his satisfaction. His favorite bit from LMT:

Haaaa. It's from Dinosaur Comics. And I know it may not have worked in context, but as they say: it's the "In conclusion" that makes it art. Also, I'm more of a Hindu agnostic.
I was looking at my tagline and noting that I hadn't changed it in a long while. Although now I am wanting to change it to the punchline of today's comic: "Am I the only dude who truly wishes it were possible to clean a house with METAPHORS??"
