Natter 62: The 62nd Natter  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

His quotes remind me of that guy they interviewed a couple of times on TDS. The guy who couldn't make it through two sentences without dropping a f-bomb or two.

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

Wow, that's some quality human being there, isn't it.

His wife isn't much better:

During the call, ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife can be heard in the background telling ROD BLAGOJEVICH to tell Deputy Governor A “to hold up that fucking Cubs shit. . . fuck them.” ... Later, ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife got on the phone and, during the continuing discussion of the critical Tribune editorials, stated that Tribune Owner can “just fire” the writers because Tribune Owner owns the Tribune. ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife stated that if Tribune Owner’s papers were hurting his business, Tribune Owner would do something about the editorial board.

NATLBSB: "hold up that fucking Cubs shit. . . fuck them."

Was that the private detective guy (or security expert - something like that)? I remember that interview; it was hysterical.

Yes him. That's right, they called him a security expert.

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

I adore the linguistic effects of bleeping people's real names:

Tribune Owner can “just fire” the writers because Tribune Owner owns the Tribune

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wow, the buffista version of the Blagojevich affair is so much more interesting than the NPR version.

I am so into that rocket, Kat. I can think of another little boy who'd love it, although we were planning on getting him a skateboard.

Tribune Owner owns the Tribune

That sounds like a LOLcat caption....

Let's see - the picture could be a cat wearing a Cubs hat.

If any of you were headed to London to see David Tennant in Hamlet, cash in your plane tickets.

He's hurt his back and can't perform. But Patrick Stewart's still there.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Also the kitty toys at PetCo that say Cat Toys (large font) for cats (smaller font). Loves!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That Tennant article contains a major Doctor Who spoiler, BTW.
