Yeah. I routinely walk through rain without an umbrella and I've caught life threatening double pneumonia only once!

Didn't the first modern Olympics have a poetry competition?

That may be the best sport ever invented.

What about the Modern Pentathlon. Horse jumping, fencing, pistol shooting, swimming and cross country running. You know, those most modern of sports. It's still Olympic.

You mean my patented brand of SorkinSticks.

Ha, stuff like that always makes me laugh. Recently on some podcast they were marvelling how everybody instantly knows you mean showbusiness when you mention "the industry".
No! When YOU say it, I know that. When my neighbor says it, I know he means the restaurant business, when my friend says it, I know he means the…

The china from Big Trouble in Little China.

But how does it rank against the gympie gympie?

That Sad European looks uncannily like the type of sandwich that would be served at a funeral in The Netherlands. Not kidding.

Maybe they can have her take a shower twice an episode.


For artistic reasons.

Woohoo! Three day weekend!





(I actually do have off on monday! double woohoo)

And wavier!

I'm just three years older and I recently remembered that we had a black and white TV when I was really young. That seems insane to me now.

When I eat a gold coin in real life, the ghosts can still kill me!

Same here in the Netherlands, where we've had a pretty successful multi-party political system from around, say 1880, with a small pause in 1940-1945 due to nosy neighbors, until the late 1990's.
