The boat in Gilligan's Island was named after the FCC commissioner who gave the famous "Vast Wasteland" speech.

There's a chunk of turd on the side of my toilet bowl above the waterline from when I had a Breakfast-All-Day blowout after hitting Perkin's.

I'm leaving it there for the housekeeper, just to remind her of her station in life.

Why is there no supernatural this week? I can't think of any American holidays in March :hmm:
TV takes a break after February sweeps.

I miss Perkins.  We used to have one (right by my office, in fact), but then it burned down after some dumb hillbilly threw a lit cigarette into the mulch.  It was a vacant lot for years and has now been replaced with an IHOP. :(

The fire was OSSUM to watch though. :menace:

You are supposed to keep him in the dark. After all, American TV has been explained to him repeatedly.

For various reasons(not having to shop out material to different writers, stars wanting to do movies, simple fatigue, etc) they generally can't produce more than 25ish episodes of a decent scripted tv show in a year. But the networks have traditionally stretched that out over 9 months, so there are days when they show reruns or other programming.

I think they are facing bankruptcy.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Looked for the Book Thread: could not find.

Currently reading "In Hanuman's Hands."  Junkie memoir, with the twist that the author is second gen dothead Indian immigrant.  With the added, added bonus that the author's pop was the first in his family to escape the duty of serving as priests in a shitty little village temple to Kali.

The author is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and a bud of mine from karaoke.  He comped me the book and inscribed it, so if he ever makes the big time I'm golden.
