That reminds me of a little song…

Bill: This may come as a surprise to Dave, but slavery was abolished in this country! No offense, Catherine.
Catherine Duke: Why would I be offended by slavery being abolished?
Bill: I don't know. I just like to cover my bases.

"It smells like an ashtray when I pee. Is there anything you can do to help with that?"
"Gosh, I hope not."

That is a great one. I could've kept naming more awesome Catherine moments, too, like her skill at card-sharking (Beth: "she does not liiiiiiiiiiieeeeee") or her faux-innocence when she manages to win the Big Bonus.

I love his delivery when he's talking about why he doesn't want a bridge to be named after him.
Traffic today is backed up on THE JIMMY JAMES! Some guy jumped to his death off of THE JIMMY JAMES!

It really was incredibly disappointing when Khandi Alexander left. I agree she wasn't given enough to do, but she gelled with the ensemble so perfectly, and she had some absolutely hilarious moments on the show.

You've got to stop getting your history from Gore Vidal.

I'm gearing up for another homoerotic adventure on the Big Muddy.

This is not the time for cunning plans and crazy capers!

Where were you last night at 3 AM when I was crying my eyes out watching Steel Magnolias?

For my money, the best bits of physical comedy on a show that had a LOT of great physical comedy…

"Look at Disney. If the Hunchback is running a deficit, you'd think Mickey Mouse would bail him out? Hell, no!"
"What about Scrooge McDuck? He's the one with all the money."
"No, no, no. Ducks hate hunchbacks."
"Then I guess they're just staying together for the kids."

"As I predicted, we have something of a mutiny on our hands."
"Oh yeah! You're completely under siege. Just like that guy in that… that movie… What's it called?"
"Under Siege?"
"No.."
"Under Siege 2?"
"No…"
"Under Siege 3?"
"That's the one."
"I don't think they made Under Siege 3."

"Bill, I worked in Milwaukee, you know, it's a city with a population of a million people."
"So that must've been quite a hubbub when that cow got loose."

No, that part's still true.

If you follow the links through to the source's source, it's already added a "It's a faaaaaaaake!" update. C'mon, guys.

No.

"It's Hollywood;"

The thing I love about Heinlein is his ability to swerve between frightening authoritarianism and kooky libertarianism.

The legal stuff for which he was never convicted and for which he hasn't even been forced to make a settlement?
