Isn't Newhart, like, the anti-Thompson? So much of Newhart is based on a slightly embarrassed calm niceness, while Thompson... is from a universe that holds none of those words. Including "slightly."

wrod. Hec, I told my dad to buy your book.
Well pimped!
Wow. High praise, dude. I'm very nearly shocked and humbled into speechlessness.
I could be wrong. You might be - as Tommyrot suggests - a horrible mutation. Or possibly a brilliant mutation.

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

Maybe sorta' like Brundlefly....

Hence the humor! Unless you're suggesting they cancel each other out. Though you are probably ignorant of Newhart's breakthrough comedy albums which were all based on one-sided phone conversations.

Well, in a breeding situation. Your point about humor is well-taken, I just think their actual genes couldn't survive in close proximity. Metaphorically. That is, a metaphor which is close to and yet different from yours in its... visualization.
No no, I think my mother had Bob Newhart albums. Also Bill Cosby, I think. Or else I'm getting them mixed up.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aww, vw, lovely lovely pics!

"No, no...seriously, Uncle John. You take this weed, light it on fire, and take in the smoke...hello?" Mom loves the Pilgrim Bob Newhart phone gags. Yes, Hec, my dad is a fuckwit. But he's a highly nostalgic fuckwit with money. Perfect audience for Smayage.

vw, your cousin looks nicely smug and abashed at the same time. And his bride is beautiful, love the dress!
Also, in case I haven't mentioned it before, I absolutely love your current hair color. It is perfect for you.
MM, I'd just turn the ringer off. The phone would really hate me.
