Dammit. Until you brought this up, I had forgotten that one.

Ha ha, no doubt.

"No they didn't.."

To say Merle played Okie from Muskogee with a wink is fairly accepted though, right?

It took me a while to be ready to listen to it but I was similarly wowed. An extremely compelling LP throughout & not really instantly reminiscent of anything he did prior either (seriously, what's more Bowie than that?).

That's not Steve Carell?

Sharp or gtfo.

I think that you're some kind of freak, Uhhh…….HUH.

Ha, too good. Sheffield at the end was akin to a joke that we all saw coming, but killed nonetheless.

Can you take them back where they came from? Brother, can you take them back?

"No, all true."

He knows things about pigeons, Lily.

Hold up - is Phoebe Cates in all of them?

At least it has pizza, dude!

I almost wish it was the all-Carrie show. I'm far from a Portlandia super fan or anything but I find her far more entertaining than him through the sketches, almost without exception.

Billy?

He took somebody's record & he looped it.
