Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Now tagless for your comfort.

We had cookies for breakfast. Heart shaped sugar cookies.

What is even happening?

Have you tried one, Brenda, they sound good, and no HFCS.

The dog isn't just getting cookies for breakfast. Her cookies are probably better than yours.

They smell pretty good, I won't lie. But so far I'm resisting.

See, Kat comes in here every morning and taunts us with food we do not have! Sheesh.

OK, it's snowing. It's not supposed to do that.

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

Victorian joke book proves that the old ones aren't best

I say, I say, I say - have you heard the one about the Victorian gags that hadn't been aired for 130 years? Well, when you hear them you'll probably understand why.

A long-neglected stash of jokes will this week be revived for the first time since their 19th-century prime. The material was gathered in two notebooks by the touring clown Thomas Lawrence to perfect and preserve his pioneering stand-up routines. This Victorian equivalent of Bob Monkhouse's joke book will by performed at the spiritual home of variety - Blackpool.

It might not be sufficiently sophisticated or bawdy to tickle the audience of today, but in their time, this material would have reduced the crowd to peals of laughter.

The books contains such gems as: "What's the difference between a rowing boat and Joan of Arc? One is made of wood and the other is Maid of Orleans."

That's, um... not very good.

I am drinking a very large cup of coffee, and trying to convince myself to listen to my work voicemail.

I feel very out of touch with movies this year. The only nominated movie I've seen is Little Miss Sunshine.
