"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

The most famous sketch is the 'Going for an English', I think. Did you catch that one in the episode you saw?

I don't think so, but I'm not sure I could match sketches to titles, although there was an amusing rap about Bollywood: "Where the men go, 'Ha!' and the women go, 'Eee!' and the villains, they go, 'Ha! Ha! Ha!'"

It's almost like he's mad because she wouldn't sleep with him or something....

Strange...

With a table and chair, the easier to pour himself shots of vodka while spouting his nasty brand of ultra-nationalism to the media.

Sounds just like her type.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Today I suspect I shall either a) die of boredom, or b) get up to some hijinks that I will regret on the morrow.

I think you should write me some porn.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

You know what I have discovered today? I am a terrible editor.

You know why I am a terrible editor? Because I loathe bad prose so much I'd really rather not read it.

Unfortunately, reading bad prose is kind of an editor's job.

And OMG how bad is this prose? It is not literally incoherent, but it is written by somebody with tenure and way too much stature in the field for his own good. Who needs to be BEATEN with The Elements of Style.

So I'm going down Michigan avenue and I see a bunch of picketers, so naturally I turn to see who they're striking against and...huh. They all have on blue wigs, and the signs say "ROBOTS ARE YOUR FRIENDS."

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

Um... huh?

Some sort of marketing scheme?

Anyone carrying signs saying, "I welcome my robot overlords"?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Joe just got a book called "How to Survive a Robot Uprising".
