This is really freakin' cool: State of the Union Visualizer, a java applet that lets you see which words were most often used in every state of the union by year and president. It's facinating to watch the changes from 1793 to 1847 to 1905. Also has links to Wikipedia describing the events around that year, too.
Slap my hand now!

OK, I'm somewhat more calm as they're bringing up my furniture now. Should I tip them?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
So, is "applause" a big word in all of GWB's because "wait for applause" is in the script, or... what? Because otherwise, I'm thinking I've been missing a whole lot of comedy by not watching. ("Applause! Applause, my minions!")

I think I would. Even if they missed the time, they did get there early, which is kind of a feat for any delivery person. Hey, did you get my text from yesterday? My phone dead-zones out in this basement, so I might have missed something.
"Applause! Applause, my minions!"
Ha! I don't know, but I'm tempted to look up the SOU now just to see.

you should make sure to check out the commentary tracks on Robot Chicken. There's one for every ep
Sob. I want. So much. And I want Venture Brothers even more. And I'm trying to have some financial discipline. I know they won't suddenly stop existing in the next month. But I want them now. Waaaaant.

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

That doesn't even look real.
Has anyone done the Sonoma Diet? I think I might try it. It apparently allows wine. And since I just bought a case of wine (damn those tastings with the yumminess and the getting you a little tipsy before you decide what to buy), taht is of the good.
