Mm, nope. I seem to keep forgetting the half hour comedy format exists. It is a sitcom, isn't it?

I was asking because Tiny Fey's writing is nothing like the Farrelly Brothers-- she doesn't do gross-out stuff, though she does do sight gags. I would recommend catching up on the show, since it's the funniest one on TV. It's on Hulu.

Actually, the final straw was the car pacing me to make sure I couldn't make my lane change and turn as signalled, on an empty street, even when I stayed put through a green light.

See, that's way more actively hostile than Bostonians usually have the patience for. Most of the infractions I see/experience are of the "Mine! Mine! Get the fuck outta the way!" variety. Sorry you had to be the recipient of the Boston driving gift-with-purchase.

As for the street layout, maybe 16th century cows have it in for you.

ION, I just used the phrase "we were so open-minded our brains fell out" in a team building exercise at work today.

Ms. Fey might be a marvellous writer writing a character that gives me hives. My takeaway from the first trailer I saw was a vehement wish that the surrogate's jaw be dislocated by a bitchslap. Even if I'm not supposed to like her, that's too much reaction on my part.

I have meant to have a look--just keep getting distracted.

Man, I'd have to dig up my (very old) performance resume. Haven't done anything for a couple years.

I could mention my four minutes or so on that one G4 show.

"Science Qualifications: I know that most of Star Trek is horseshit. I've read Cryptonomicon seven gajillion times and it keeps getting funnier every. Single. Time. I read it. I go to SF cons and have even attended a panel. Once or twice. I once taught myself the very basics of fusion while bored at work. I designed a spaceship for a game. It uses steam and some very hand-wave-y application of the not-taken-seriously-at-all-by-any-scientists-that-I-am-aware-of 'electro-gravitic' drive as first theorized by P. Townsend Brown, who may have been a wack-job. Someone gave me a book called 'Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius', and I want to build a death-ray, but I haven't had the time. I can fix my lawnmower and install a garbage disposal and a light switch.

Danger Qualifications: Get me drunk and dare me, I'll probably do it."

shooooiee! All caught up now, sorta. Natter took off yesterday afternoon. Didn't get the memo!

Hilton Ave.

aha - so how many Tribune Sun reporters even know where that is? I'd like to see Sally Th. from channel 13 try a live shot from there. I can't believe no one is reporting on it.

peeing in the sink

cracked me up too - from the perspective of OMGmustpeepregnantWTFit'sLOCKED? more than dumb&dumber.

oh this day.

This is the snark I want to see in a tv host.

All they need is to give you a consultant with the basic facts and a microphone.

I might actually have to obtain my first tv in 15 years for this one!

I want to build a death-ray

HEY - transporter was supposed to come first. Then we use the death-ray for instant smiting.

Okay, but they didn't have a transporter in the Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius book.

What I was thinking is that I build the death ray and then incorporate parts of it into the transporter...I mean we gotta break the victim "object to be transported" down to its component sub-atomic particles anyway...

It's not just science, it's efficient science!!

Maybe that should be my picture submission, though they did ask for one from within the past six months...
