I look forward to reading this article on disabling YouTube ads once someone posts an article on how to disable the autoplay ads on Lifehacker.

When I was scriptreading many years ago I was given a script by an executive who had heard it was good, but didn’t want to waste time reading it if he didn’t have to. It was called Night Fox, and was a pretty paint-by-numbers attempted update of 1960s European cat burglar films, and I didn’t pass it along. Imagine my…

Don’t worry your pretty little head about it. It ain’t your concern.

I personally plan to bid on $240 worth of pudding. Why not $100 worth of pudding? Because then I wouldn’t have $240 worth of pudding. Aw, yeah!
