It's a real game-changer!

What about a transdermal gin and tonic that'll get me through the workday without having to have the drink out in the open?

Earlier movies like like Dressed to Kill definitely did not help, either.

A few years back I was at Staples or one of the other office supply chains and the clerks were doing the offer at checkout of a special-edition pen as a benefit for breast cancer awareness. It didn't cost a lot, so I bought one. Turned out to be a really good pen, with a black gel ink cartridge inside, and I'd use it…

Dear Mr. Viking,

Oooh. Many thanks for that suggestion. Headed over to scope that one out now….

How lovely that you not only spammed the discussion, but that you upvoted yourself too.

Andy and Don: The Making of a Friendship and a Classic American TV Show by Daniel de Visé, which examines the relationship between Andy Griffith and Don Knotts, and the story behind The Andy Griffith Show. Andy's son-of-a-bitch tendencies didn't really surprise me, but the book's telling of Don's troubled childhood…

"Hi, I'm Captain Sully Sullenberger. The airline I worked for was gobbled up by American. So when we look at how our competitors at United really stepped on their dicks while wearing golf shoes…."

And all the college students inspired by the CSI family of programs to get involved in the sexy, high-stakes world of forensic chemistry, only to have reality hit them in the face when real-life crime scene investigators show them what real crime scenes are like (and that it will always rain on a crime scene), and how…

In that case, Dad will just get hilariously punched in the nards by something.

Via the late Lewis Grizzard: guy walks into a bar with his dog, tells bartender he has a talking dog. Bartender says "Yeah? Prove it." Guy says, "Rover, what's on top of a house?" Dog says, "Roof!"
"Rover, what's on a tree?" "Bark!"
"Rover, who was the greatest home run hitter of all time?" "Roof!"
Bartender angrily…

As somebody who quit the NRA in disgust in about 1988, I could not agree more.

Yeah, that tip from Jimmy the Persian didn't turn out as he'd hoped.

(cues line from Quiz Show where Martin Scorsese, as president of Geritol, tells Rob Morrow's Congressional investigator that the one thing you have to understand is that the public has a short memory, and that Geritol's gonna go on, and NBC's gonna go on, so it makes me wonder what you really hope to accomplish)
