Go get yourself a monkey kidney
God I love the office. I finished watching the bonus features to season 2 yesterday (since I have to return the DVD today). So, so brilliant.
Michael: I am … like Superman. And the people who work here are like citizens of Gotham City.
Jim and Dwight: That’s Batman.
Today’s NZ stats are on health. And not as interesting (to me anyways). Although there were a surprisingly high number of self-inflicted injuries (I thought). That’s what surprised me too when they came out with stats about gun violence after VA tech – there were what seemed like really high rates of suicides in other countries. In America, I’m so used to violence centering on homicides.
Kristl passed along this. I get such gleeful pleasure whenever republican congressmen are caught in a sex/drugs scandal. Hypocrites.
Speaking of sex in bathrooms, here’s one of the moments from strangers with candy that made me laugh loudest;
Mr. Noblet: Is there no Mrs. Jellineck?
Mr. Jellineck: No.
Mr. Noblet: Divorced?
Mr. Jellineck: She was murdered.
Mr. Noblet: Sometimes that can be just as painful.
Hahahaha. Ahem. Clearly I’m being productive. But I got most of my work done yesterday. Unfortunately, it’s labor day – meaning not much is on in America. C’est la vie.

OK, now I have to see Strangers with Candy. What a terrific line!
I have all 3 seasons on CD (you’d have to watch them on the computer). It is totally, totally brilliant and very absurdist. Stephen Colbert cracks me up so much. The whole show is a take-off of afternoon specials (from the 50s and 60s I’d assume) and such. The line above is from a burden’s burden (episode 102). It’s where they set up that Noblet and Jellineck are going to be closeted lovers. (You’d know Paul Dinello who plays Jellineck as Tad the building manager on the Colbert Report).
My favorite episodes are Yes you can’t (203), hit and run (206), the blank stare pt 2 (209), Ask Jerri (307), and the last temptation of blank (310).
After school specials started in the late 1970s, I think, and were on through the 80s and maybe 90s. After my time. Heather may have watched them. I take it that you didn’t?
