I love that that ad seems to boil down to "Busses are neat because you meet people, like my wife, who is dead..."
It shouldn't be funny, and yet here I am, making embarrassing noises at work.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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

Bunch Of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger
CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn't do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. "He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of readers," said hot-shot English professor David Clarke, who is just like the rest of them, and even works at one of those crumby schools that rich people send their kids to so they don't have to look at them for four years. "There will never be another voice like his." Which is exactly the lousy kind of goddamn thing that people say, because really it could mean lots of things, or nothing at all even, and it's just a perfect example of why you should never tell anybody anything.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I guessed it. Not the submarine name, just the location.
Me too. It was kind of like being on QI.

Why the hell were Phelps's whackaloons protesting Fiddler on the Roof?
1. It's about Jews, who are going to hell. 2. Tevye is being played by Harvey Fierstein, who is gay, and thus going to hell. 3. Therefore, everybody involved is going to hell.

My cousin's response to the NFL/WhoDat business.
the whole thing is so ridiculous - they have no idea who they are messing with -- I think we should all go downtown with white Ts and sharpees, make a bunch of who dat t-shirts and sell them to each other -- with daiquiris and live music of course

It almost makes me wish that they protested here, so we could have a fun counter protest.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The Phelps organization is a few dozen people who are mostly related to one another, right? They don't have a justification or significant following. There is literally no reason to talk about them here as much as we do.
