"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

so while finishing up stuff in the chicken I knocked a half-full can of tomato sauce off the counter.

"stuff in the chicken"? Or "stuff in the kitchen"?

We just watched the last episode of S2 of Arrested Development. Now we are sad and sitting on our hands waiting for the S3 set to come out.

It has superceded Fawlty Towers as The Sitcom Which Made Me Laugh The Most.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

David, isn't it wonderful?

Sometimes, I think about Arrested Development, and I stop being able to breathe from laughing.

S3 had a rough start, fan-fucking-tastic finish.

I miss it so.

When I first started watching I didn't think I could stick with so many selfish and unlikeable characters. But you just hang on to Michael and George Michael and eventually they get a little twisted as the others are getting a little more rounded. I realized that it's this very odd mix of extremely incisive and subtle with extremely broad and goofy.

But man is it fucking funny.

Also, you didn't tell me Alan Tudyk was on it!

Some things are best discovered for yourself!

Oh, and by the way, it gets BETTER on rewatch.

This will be our consolation.

I expect Will Arnett and Tony Hale to be guesting on How I Met Your Mother by next year.

It's in Season 2. One episode.

Thanks. I've seen scattered eps, but just about bust a gut laughing when I was able to watch a bunch straight through on a friend's DVDs. Too many tv shows, too little time.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Here's the thing, someone (not me) is writing something. They're having one of the characters say something about a friend ordering "Garlic Prawns" and another character ordering "lemon chicken". I'm thinking "Shrimp Ailio" or "Shrimp Scampi" is probably more likely, but maybe that's a regional thing, on my part. (The author is an Australian; the character is a Californian, but one who has been to a private school--possibly a boarding school).

I discovered over the weekend that for the Wallybee, there's little difference in pronunciation between 'prawns' and 'prunes'. Made grocery shopping just that little bit more interesting.
