Well, you've read the notes, the notes were of today and had comedy, and now it is time for you to post until the comedy cows come home.  

[bk]

And the word of the day is: CENTO!

[bk]

Just in case you're wondering, Cento was not the long lost brother of Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Gummo, and Zeppo.

[bk]

Two people just sitting there like so much fish - THAT'S comedy.

[bk]

It was so cold this morning that I fell out of bed and broke my pajamas.

[bk]

Why do they sit there like so much fish?  They just sit there, like a gazelle in pantyhose.

[bk]

And one of them is a comedy writer who can't seem to post a joke.  THAT'S comedy.

[George]

I'm still catching up on yesterday's posts...and I was watching "Mad Men."  

[George]

And I just read Singdaw's post, saying that he's back.

[George]

And TCB's!  Yay!

[George]

I'm still ketchuping on yesterday's posts...FJL, that's a nice "Herringbone" review for Skip!

[George]

Topic of the Day...an oldie, but a goodie:

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker-function and begins to talk.

Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: "Hello"
WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"

MAN: "Yes"
WOMAN: "I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure, …go ahead if you like it that much."

WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked."
MAN: "How much?"
WOMAN: "$60,000"
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."

WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing…the house we wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000."
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $900,000."

WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you!"
MAN: "Bye, I love you, too."

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment. Then he asks: "Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"

[George]

I just checked my e-mail and my friend Rick sent this to me (and others) yesterday evening:

Hello All!
   
I'm sure you've all heard of the "six degrees of Kevin Bacon."  Well this morning at Darby's cafe here in Olympia, we were having our breakfast and who sat right next to us but his wife Kyra Sedgewick and their son!  
So, I guess that means we are two degrees from him!
 
Rick

What's Kyra doing in Olympia, Washington??  Pretty cool!

[George]

And now, I'm finally off to bed.

[Ben]

At 2:30 in the morning? You should be getting to bed young man!

[singdaw]

CONGRATULATIONS to Skip on the Times review.

[singdaw]

For joke day, DR Vixmom could just re-print her whole microwave story from yesterday!  

Glad it all ended well.

"Kiss me, you fool!"

Yes, yes, I think I see it now... Yes, like this, you do look like Daffy Duck!

[S. Woody White]

Sorry, can't think of a joke right now.

But I loved Vixmom's shot back at me from yesterday!

RE: the first episode of THE MENTALIST



(not really any real spoilers, just what i thought of the show in general mostly).

I had already read what DR MattH had posted and i agree with some of what was said. I have seen a few episodes of PSYCH and to me the description of the show sounded similar.

Although i don't think it really is that similar). PSYCH is more comedic and that guy is pretending to be a fake. In this story the GUY used to be a fake but now is basically honest about how he figures things out.

I agree with what DR MattH said about Simon Baker's character and how he figures things out. In PSYCH they do a close-up of whatever the guy is looking at and show us how he figure it out. I guess THE MENTALIST could not copy the exact same thing. And i actually partially do not think it is lazy writing.

Some of the time we can figure it out for ourselves. And some of the time the exact way he figures things out do not really matter. Although it did bother me a lot in relation to the first case of the missing girl. He was able to tell a lot of stuff to the mother and i had absolutely no idea where he was getting this stuff from. I really think they should have helped us out there.

This show is pure drama. And the characters are quite interesting. I especially liked Simon Baker and the lead detective (robin tunney)

I can't say i loved the show. But i do think it has potential and was enjoyable.

I read at Playbill Online that Liz Calloway is working on a new solo album.

Good for her!  I love her previous three solo discs.

The only problem is, it's going to be released by PS Classics.  I don't know what it is, but there isn't a single disc they've done that I've heard that I've truly enjoyed.  They just... I dunno... sound flat.  They kinda sorta lack zing.

 

[Jennifer]

Tonight there is a bunch of stuff i want to watch on tv:

CW: Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill.

NBC: Chuck, Heroes and Life (what a great line-up, i cannot wait for these 2 new ones).

ABC: Dancing with the stars (2 hours).

[Dan (the Man)]

A little old lady visits her doctor and says to him, "Doctor, I'm having a terrible problem with gas.  I fart all the time!  But the strange thing is that my farts don't make a sound and they don't smell at all.  In fact, since I've been sitting here, I've farted about twenty times.  But you probably didn't know that because they were completely silent and have no smell at all."

The doctor nodded his head and scribbled on his prescription pad.

"I'd like you to get these pills immediately.  Take three a day after every meal and then come back and see me in a week."

The little old lady thanked the doctor and went right to her pharmacist.

A week later, she came back to the doctor.

"Doctor, I have no idea what was in those pills but now my farts smell something awful!  Those pills must contain some kind of skunk extract!  I'm still farting all the time, and they still make no noise, but my goodness they smell bad!"

"Very good!” said the doctor.  "We fixed your sense of smell.  Now we have to take care of your hearing."

Which reminds me, der B has a doctor's appointment today.....

[Jennifer]

Did anybody else love last night's TAR???

[elmore3003]

Good morning, all! I slept late, which was nice, but now I'm feeling disorganized.  I was also just suspended from TalkinBroadway for calling a poster an "inflated frog" for making negative comments about my friend Seth Rudetsky. I have no idea how long the suspension will last, possibly forever, but I'm really glad I didn't call the poster an asshole. I did however want to call the administrator who sent me the suspension email an asshole. I didn't though.

I'm listening to the great OBC of NINE, and I already am fearful of what Rob Marshall will do to the film.

[Matt H.]

Good morning!

Not as cool this morning as I was hoping (the attic fan had to run all night to keep the house colled down), but in a day or two, we'll be back to really cool nights which is what I want. A high in the 80s today.

[Matt H.]

Since DR Jennifer has already posted part of today's ON TV TOnight, I'll just add:

CBS - comedies and CSI: MIAMI
FOX - SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES and PRISON BREAK
