Tom Scharpling used to mix Stanley-isms into his sound collages a few years back: "I wanna know if we got any people here tonight who like to get HIIIGH!… I want to know how many people here like to take a taste of alcohol?" A theme emerges.

Really? That's crazy. (Checking amazon.co.uk… Kindle 6" for 39BGP, Prime Exclusive Deal of the Day.) Uh, mine's not linking to the US.

Amazon's doing this Prime Day thing in the UK as well. Can't remember where (radio? twitter?) but this morning there were a bunch of jokes about how it will wreak havoc on the morning commute. It was akin to the panic of over-Americanization that surrounded the introduction of "black friday" that retailers introduced…

Opie and his thug friends broke my barber pole.

The dead ringer for sibling weirdness will be tomorrow's fake vulva article with Jeremy Irons.

Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo in You Can Count on Me.

Trump is an accumulation of exaggerated features affixed to nothing. He's a clown wig, red nose, and floppy shoes. He's like a Koons sculpture. Or Pamela Anderson. Or the Las Vegas strip. Or KISS.

We run our cattle through her Vatican?

Ah, well, we'll see. Now I'm truly curious about this bit.

I'm 'upset' about how the review writer described the joke! I just want clarity. As for the joke, well, I guess if it is about a foreign person not recognizing our categories of fruit, then there's a good chance I won't find it funny, again, at least as it is described here. It could be funny; I'm not against the idea…

The bit is not described well. I haven't seen it. We need to know the bar patron's cultural background. If it's not simply American, then certainly any disdain must be focused on the bartender's reaction. And the possible 401k manager; is it the patron or the -potentially moonlighting- bartender?

Yep. This one has stuck with me for what must be decades at this point. My memory morphed it into:
"Looks like it's going to rain."
"It already has." [crossed out of script: In my pants.]

Little known fact: that line was dubbed over. Watch the actor's lips and he's really saying: "Just remember what ol' JJ Gittes does when the earth quakes and the poison arrows fall from the sky and the pillars in Heaven shake. JJ Gittes looks that big ol' storm right straight in the eye and he says, 'Give me your best…

Was Chris Elliott on in the final month or two?

Sex with the staff.

She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge… tracts of land.

So much gun play in this show.

Canadian late night television, ladies and gentlemen: "Who knows if their [hoser] cat is going to be able to distend its anus in front of a live studio audience. You don't know that." Indeed.

If you love jokes about gays, minorities, and being overweight, this comedian's built for you.

And to still be using the word, chicks.
