The idea of Ron Glass playing Walter Winchell delights me to no end. "Zoe and Wash are making whoopee on the second deck . . . Mal and Inarra are pffffft . . . Jane is a pinko . . . Fuck Ben Bernie . . ."

Squire Fridell and Woody Harrelson star in Coupe Defective.

My Irish mother laughed with joy whenever those two Brits said the word "tits." She laughed a lot.

God help me, but I enjoy watching some of the House Hunters episodes, if only because my wife and I are thinking about selling soon.
