Watching Jeopardy with Watson, the computer that plays Jeopardy.
I watched that! It was pretty cool.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The Irish pub around the corner is about out of chances with me despite the convenient location... went over there tonight for a late dinner of bangers & mash and they were out of mashed potatoes, as well as all sides except green beans. Yes, they have great bread pudding and $3 pints of Guinness on Mondays, but since I'm trying to lose weight and not supposed to drink the appeal is limited.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I had strawberries. And ghiradelli double chocolate chips. So i made myself some chocolate covered strawberries. And nommed them. Partial consolation for a really crummy yoga session. Total waste of 1/5 hrs of my life. I tried a particular instructor once and found the class frustratingly boring and the instructor irritating. Thought it might have been a one time thing so i gave her another try. Still awful. I want my evening back. Oh well.

They've been doing television commercials for decades, P-Cow.

Bonus points if you can name the Type used (almost solely) by filmmaker Wes Anderson.

Maybe you weren't paying attention when they were blathering about Dianetics, and - as bon notes - showing off a volcano for extremely mysterious (space clams!) reasons.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I don't think I've ever seen a Scientology commercial.
