Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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

I used to have that comic. Sold it years ago.

I think I've still got mine.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

very wierd. I was just watching "Swingtown", and the main character was so familiar, I couldn't remember who he was, and I finally figured it out, it's Steve from Coupling. Whoa!

Art Crawl!!!

That bad hair and the accent fooled you. (He is the reason I tried it last week. I can't decide if I want to watch again. Of course, the fact that the character playing the daughter is playing somebody my age makes me slightly more interested. That and their living somewhere in the general vicinity of where my family lived a few years later than that.)

OMG, I just watched Dana Carvey's standup special on HBO, and I think I laughed more than I have in a while (some great TDS/TCR double excepted). It's not quite as inspired as his last special (somewhere back in the 90s, which I had randomly pulled out to watch my ancient home-taped VHS copy of a few months back), but it was pretty close. I guess he basically took his career off to raise his kids (which i respect), but I hope he keeps doing standup at the very least.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

So, I dug the VB episode a lot. Is the show still a comedy? I'm leaning towards drama-with-humor now.

"yeah, scrap the nonlethals, we're going to have to go full on nerf"

I thought it was damn funny, especially the 24/21/Dean/Hank Vs The Moppets bit.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I found myself fast-forwarding through some of the cringeworthy parts of the last episode. And there were a lot of them.

See, I found the cringe-worthy stuff in these hilarious. My DVR is cutting of the beginning of the eps though (I've rectified that problem).
