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.
Sorry about your grandmother, Jesse. Seems like a bad day to have to be at the ER with all the firecracker and bbq-related injuries.
It's just her throat thing, which is better than her heart thing, and it sounded like they got seen right away, so not the worst. But seriously, my poor mother!
Shameless begging for anyone with clicks to spare. My Dude now gets paid 10 cents a click for every repeat visitor to his blog site at Forbes. He used to just get paid per visitor--and he did all right on his own. If you feel like visiting five times every single day from now on, that would be fabulous. Or, you know, once or twice a week.
Ten clicks! Slap my hand up high!
When conversation turned to Brendan Behan, it occurred to me that he was one of the few people I knew of who could engage in extended self-deprecating humor without it sounding like pride in being a jackass on the one hand, or self-hatred on the other. Then it occurred to me that maybe the Irish, and Scots, and Brits and Welsh are better at that than Americans. Bob Newhart managed it sometimes. Do any other names (literary, stand-up comedian or whatever occur to you? Any nationality - not limited to English speaking.) Who else can do self-deprecating humor well without self-hatred or pride in jackassery?
sarameg, that is a lovely garden!
Louis CK does self-deprecating humour. Dave Chappelle does too. I've never thought of it as something restricted to a population more defined than "pulls off self-deprecation." I have suddenly forgotten the name of every other comedian I would normally think of, but I'm sure you could throw a rock at female comedians and hit quite a few that use it--and a few that use it as a crutch.
(Who is Behan, and when did conversation turn to him? I'm kinda missing a leadup here.)

Mike Birbiglia would be a prime example.
Dear neighbors, if the VERY LOUD firecrackers you are setting off in your driveway set my house on fire, or more importantly, wake up my kid, I will stuff the next one down your pants and then light the fuse.
How does one even begin to shop for this wig? I'm stocking up against a cosplay emergency.

Like a lot of Archer, it's an update of a sixties look.
I'd look for a Bouffant Flip wigs and try to side style it a bit.
