Now I want a practical and futuristic jumpsuit to go with my flying car.

I am loving Parks and Rec this season. Community irritates me more than it amuses me, so I stopped watching, but I never liked Chevy Chase and I apparently don't like that Soup guy, either. Extras I loved, more than The Office UK. Gervais has an animated show coming on HBO, I know nothing about it beyond having seen a promo for it - the promo was very funny, Gervais and Merchant and someone else sitting around talking about the show's prospects

Bwah!

When you have finished, you take your plate, cup, knife, fork, and spoon and drop them down the waste disposer. They are ground up and washed away into the sewers.

Even better:

You never need to go shopping for the weekly groceries. You just dial the supermarket on their vision phone....You give your order over the phone and it is recorded at the supermarket by a tape recorder. Later the same day the electric delivery truck arrives with your order.

Man, why does the Coffee Bean chai latte have to be so sweet? It's almost perfectly tasty.

Heh. I enjoyed

The toast starts life as ordinary sliced bread.

Even better:

Heh. I was just about to post that.

Someone should alert Peapod and tell them they need tape recorders and vision phones....

If you want to get back into comedy, I HIGHLY recommend Better Off Ted.

Seconded. (even if the uncensored promo for last night's first ep did ruin the real show for me)

I am loving Parks and Rec this season. Community irritates me more than it amuses me, so I stopped watching,

-t is the anti-me in this, apparently. I never laugh at Parks and Rec. But it is true that I watch Community for everyone except Chevy Chase and Joel McHale.

Chevy Chase

I knew there was a reason I wasn't watching Community.

Other than the tape recorder and the fact that my vision phone is a MacBook, that IS basically how I order my groceries.

AWESOMECAKES:

At the town depot there are also other pipes—giant pipes that run the length and breadth of the country. This is a clean, efficient way to ship anything from a box of nails to a crane.

If someone buys a new electric car, this is the way it is delivered. The car is wrapped at the factory and dropped into the pipe full of liquid. Large pumps along the pipe keep the liquid flowing. Detectors at the pumping stations make sure there are no blockages and that the goods arrive at the right place.

When the car reaches the town’s main depot, it is lifted from the pipe, unwrapped, and delivered.
