Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Explain, please.

I used to walk around singing "Whoa Nipsey Russell" for Roam all the time, but I never knew Nipsey Russell was a real person, I thought it was just a made up name. Several years later I was listening to a Jazz show on the CBC. When the announcer said "and that was Nipsey Rusell..." I went into hysterics, and I couldn't stop laughing long enough to explain to the people I was with why it was so funny. The more I tried to explain it, the harder I laughed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. I love it when stuff like this happens.

Wasn't Nipsey Russell on Hollywood Squares a lot? </too lazy to Google>

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

What about @@^∞?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe Match Game?

Maybe both.

yes, both. His latter career was being on game shows and being funny. He was also in The Wiz (scarecrow) and Car 54, Where Are You?

lest you think that I am a trivia repository, they talked about him on the radio this morning.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Harriet Miers is the official machine justice, a made woman, the one whose only committment and loyalty will be to Karl Rove and George Bush.

I do tend to wonder how long this sort of loyalty would last once the "made woman" became a Supreme Court Justice. I mean, yes, there's loyalty based on believing in the cause of your superiors and all that. And then there's loyalty based on hitching your wagon to someone else's star. Once the robes are on, the second kind of loyalty wouldn't exactly mean much. What are they gonna do, fire her?

ETA: by the way, I'm loving the legal analyses in this thread.

I actually don't think I knew he was a musician -- I thought he was just a comedian.

Sue's Nipsy experience is my Bix Beiderbeck. Though I thought it was Bix Spiderbeck.

I hate to be that kind of superficial person, and appearances shouldn't matter as much as brains, but at the moment, I'm less concerned about her lack of judicial experience and more concerned about when she's going to get an eye tuck.

She really needs to start wearing less eyeliner ASAP.
