And now for something completely different...John Fugelsang tweeted this earlier today:

My bank allows me to choose my own personalized ID question to prove I'm me.   
So now when I call, they *have* to ask me 'Who's the black private dick who's a sex machine to all the chicks?'   
And I must answer, 'Shaft.'

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Nice photo of the license plate and frame, George.

Thanks, John!

I've got to take the car in for an oil change first thing in the morning. Since my usual place doesn't open first thing, I hope the new place is nearly as good. .

Good luck.

I expect to be awake, I just prefer to relax and read for awhile before I get up.

John, are you reading anything good?

Just finished a book of short stories called Look for Me and I'll Be Gone. It's by John Edgar Wideman. Angry stories about race relations. Beautifully written, but hard to take.

Now I need to finish The Girl in His Shadow. The writing is atrocious. But the story's fairly interesting.

I want to thank Larry Moore for telling us about his watching the 1999 BBC production of "David Copperfield."

I had not heard of this production, but I found it on Hulu and enjoyed it immensely this evening!!

So much better than the 1935 MGM adaptation.

Speaking of Larry Moore, where in the "fat hell" has he been since his last post this morning?
