"When are you gonna stop making Cylon toast?"
"When I have enough to destroy all the human toast on the Battlestar known as Galactica."
Visual jokes that only geeks will get. Once again, I adore The Big Bang Theory.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Yay, it's real!
Oh, that's too cool!
And now I have to go on and on about wanting to be able to make Cylon toast, until The Girl gives in and buys me that for Colonial Day Christmas.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I couldn't get past nit-picking the kite-fighting details.

OMG - PBS (or at least my affiliate) is showing Bill Cosby receiving the Mark Twain award for storytelling, and it's just reminding me so much why his comedy records from the 60s were so damn formative for me. Plus, footage of him doing some of his classic bits in a variety of contexts (including the Noah bit on the Jack Paar show - he's SOOO young there!).

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Thank you Frank - now I have something to watch instead of Glee. Stupid baseball.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I saw Cosby live last year--I was nearly crying I was laughing so hard! He went completely improv for the first 15-20 minutes of his performance when he started chatting with the backstage guy who brought him some water and found some terrific hilarity in this man's life story.

Bill Cosby was my first serious comedy experience. Before Python, before the Muppet Show. I have very, very dim memories of his first show where he was a teacher (and he re-used a number of his routines). Then, of course, there was Fat Albert. But I was already listening to the records by then.
I've even heard a semi-adult show he did. Not quite working blue, but seriously purple given his usual stuff (a bit beyond the drug stuff he did in Himself).
