"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ha! I'm sure there are Southerners who are Greek, I think I even may have gone to school with one or two, but no, I think it is safe to assume there is no Greek in our background.

We've got the whitebread Europe covered though.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Office fans -- remember, new ep tonight!

By the way, do we approve of the Get Smart movie starring Steve Carell? (My vote: Not really, but if anyone can play Maxwell Smart today, it's probably Carell.)

(ETA: Aha! Punctuation trouble!)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I approve. It looks pretty funny. The WonderCon panel was hilarious.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I really really adore Get Smart and have piles of old videocassettes of the episodes, so I hope for the best with the movie, but am dubious. Best possible actor for it, though, given the constraints of our era.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Once again, it's a great casting choice, but whether it holds up is another thing entirely. Truly funny movies have been made out of beloved sitcoms (i.e. Addams Family and The Brady Bunch Movie) but that's not the way to bet.

Also don't forget there's a new Earl tonight. :: waves her tiny but earnest Earl flag ::

I have one of those too, Theodosia!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I am cautiously hopeful about the Get Smart movie.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Earl was great tonight. I wonder if the show is going to become too boring if/when they go back to a format of Earl crossing things off his list while not in jail or a coma.
