I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Did you get tickets from us? Please send us a photo and your phone number." WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

Mostly lurking...

Well, huh.

I just got an e-mail from the Chair of the Boston Election Department thanking me for the letter I sent last week (thanking them for staying open late on the last day of voter registration for those of us who are procrastinators). I almost deleted the e-mail. I was certain it was spam.

Every one of her sentences ended with an exclamation point. Either they don't get letters like this often, so it's a VERY exciting thing, or this woman could never be a Buffista.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I bet the letter was very exciting!

Woo hoo! I've been meaning to call in for Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me since it's been a while since I've been in the mass media.....

I've been meaning to call in for Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me since it's been a while since I've been in the mass media.....

I'm convinced if I got on this show, I'd know all the answers to the pop culture stuff and miss all the sciency and international affairs crap and my parents would be listening and they'd be all who is this person and what have they done with our child as they REALLY don't get anything pop culture and dad especially is a big fat snob about anything entertainment gossipy and I'd be rolling my eyes explaining that and just ...no.

So I'll never try to call in. But you should.

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

The status is NOT quo.

Things that are always funny to me, no matter how many times I see them:

  • Dory speaking "whale" in Finding Nemo
  • Robin Williams doing his impression of oral sex in his HBO comedy special a few years ago
  • Steve Martin as Ruprect in Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels
  • The Star Trek vid set to Monty Python's "Camelot"

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I went in on the inside as I was much faster than him. He was intent on me not passing him. Locked 'em up. Came into me. Then spun in front of me. I almost t-boned him. Damage to my car is from the sharing of "rubber." I took the blame for the accident just to appease him, but I know people who were watching that said that it was all him, including the announcer.
Ah. I was trying to piece it out from two pictures.

I forgot how much fun historics are to watch. Need to see if anyone is running up here soon. I sense a trip to the track...

Something that is always funny to me no matter how many times I see it:

MST3K's "Poopie", which I made someone watch last night because she hadn't ever seen it.

I think their thing on "Mr. B Natural" is about the funniest thing they've ever done.

Do they sell DVDs of just the MST3K shorts? They totally should.
