The man obviously is having problems with the lag time between the question and when he hears it over his earpiece, which is common to newbies on his show, but his delays are longer than usual, and his responses are nearly catatonic in their brevity and lack of emotion.

I saw the same thing in his interview with Shep Smith that seemed to be a phone interview. I thought that the pauses were people telling him what to say.

Scientists: 'Monkeys like TV'

Scientists in Japan have published a new study which they say proves that monkeys like watching television.

A three-year-old male rhesus macaque enjoyed a video of a circus elephant, giraffe and tiger performing, according to scientists from 1 University's Primate Research Institute.

Scientists used a technique called near-infrared spectroscopy to examine various aspects of the blood flow to the brain of the monkey while it was watching the television images.

The study found that when the monkey was witnessing the acrobatic performances of circus animals on a television screen, the frontal lobe area of its brain became vigorously active.

Another recent study conducted by scientists at the same Kyoto University institute showed how mother monkeys teaching their young how to floss their teeth in a similar way to humans.

Nice fucking try, Tino. Next time you tell someone in the office that they need to talk to me because I need to order a supply we are out of in an attempt to make me look incompetent, check your fucking inbox to see that a) there are 4 Office Depot orders pending for YOUR fucking release and have been there since MONDAY and 2) one of those orders contains the exact supply your temp is looking for.

Eff you, dillweed.

There's also an Amy in Sondheim's "Company." Really, you're in luck if you have any one of the women's names in that musical. So Jenny, Joanne, Sarah, Susan, and Amy.

According to Sondheim on Sondheim, in one of the earlier versions of that show, Amy didn't marry Paul, but she ended up marrying Bobby at the end, and the show ended with a song called "A Multitude of Amys," or something like that.

Bah - my pad thai is too sweet and they didn't give me any lime wedges. t /firstworldproblems

And the show ended with a song called "A Multitude of Amys," or something like that.

Yeah, "Multitudes of Amys." [link]

Let us hear no more complaints from the Amys.

they didn't give me any lime wedges.

Those fuckers!

I didn't even complain! I was too busy hiding under the desk pounding my head against the floor to escape that Other earworm that is so very not Sondheim.

I think I hate all songs with my name in them: Wake Up Little Susie, Boy Named Sue, Crocodile Rock, Susie Q, Oh Susanna.

I especially dislike being called Susie.

When I was a kid I loved the song "Tom Dooley." (Yeah, I was kind of morbid.)

That's the only "Tom" song that comes to mind....
