Now I really want to hear Mads Mikkelsen pronounce the word "emu."

I think he'd make a great Maester Pycelle! All nervous and nebbishy!

Well, now I'm not going to be happy until Richard Kind appears on GoT.

The A.V. C— ahhh never mind.

I really hope that you posted that in-character as Dick Cheney.

And I suppose it's not surprising that Pete got the reference, given his own brief flirtation with short fiction. "The bear is not talking!"

Bing!

I'm not sure what compelled to read these old comments, but damned if this didn't make me laugh like hell. Thanks Miller!

He's taken a interest!

Me too, old buddy! I get giddy just thinking about it.

Boy oh boy, this one made me laugh like hell.

I know those words, but this post makes no sense!

I would die a happy man if an aged, even-more-embittered Barton Fink made a cameo in this.

When I started college back in 2006, my answer to this would have been The West Wing. That served me well, as many of my eventual friends were also big fans, and to this day we can quote episodes and discuss plot points with alacrity.

Speaking of LucasArts, I don't believe I've ever actually met someone who loves Grim Fandango as much as I do, or anyone who has even played it, but if it ever happens, that person will be a friend for life!

RONNIE LOVES TWIZZLERS.

"Ronnie tells Harry that he's a pot-of-coffee-by-day, bottle-of-wine-by-night type of guy. Harry says, 'Triple that and you got me.' They laugh a congenial laugh and both of them realize that they are instant friends, friends forever."

Also, when Llewellyn is lying in bed at the hotel and suddenly realizes that the satchel of money must contain a tracking device!

No past tense needed! He's still around, so perhaps you'll get your wish!

Veers also has a pretty neat story in the EU! If memory serves, his son joined the Alliance, which brought great shame upon Veers the Elder. He was eventually demoted to Captain and was lost when he was sent on a hopeless suicide mission.
