Someone should always be around to feed me grapes too.

On Saturday night The Ten Commandments came on at work and I was watching it. Yeah, yeah it's a tough job sometimes. Anyway, there is a scene early on where Charlton Heston, still a prince of Egypt, goes to see his step dad, Pharaoh. And two women prance around in front of Heston throwing rose petals at his feet. I think they were chanting something like, "Make way for the prince."

Brady: See, that's what my life should be like. Everywhere I go there should be people should be there to throw flowers at my feet.

Editor Person: Oh My God now I understand you completely. (Mimicks a lightbulb going off over her head.) This explains so, so much.

Brady: ... Surely you agree that I deserve it!

The worst Trek

Topless Robot names the worst TNG episodes ever here.

I dunno that one where Worf was injured and wanted his (very young) son help him commit suicide was pretty awful and probably deserved to make the list. That one ended, as I recall, with Crusher remembering that Worf had two spines or some such nonsense.

Actually nevermind every episode of TNG was miles better than any episode of DS9.




Q: Picard wouldn't have hit me.
HAWK: I'm not Picard!


And while we're on the subject why wasn't there a Spenser for Hire spinoff called Hawk: SuperFly Street Hero.

You know every episode of HSFSH ends with Hawk about to get killed and then Spencer shows up and saves him.

I like music

But not like these guys like the Grateful Dead.

I mean if it were the Allman Brothers I could chat with you about which version of the band was the best. The first one of course when Duane was still alive. Or how Steve Earle should make more bluegrass albums or whatnot. But man, there's liking music and then there's obsessive compulsive disorder.

The New York Times has it here.

What the GI Joe movie should be

But won't be. This one is kind of hard to watch. Or at least it was on my $10 monitor. Make it full screen and hang on.

The president feels it too

"Last night he said he felt like he had just discovered David Axelrod was one of the Final Five, whatever that means."

The Battlestar Galactica finale made Obama sad. Or so says The Onion.

The Answer

Newspapers are dying in this economy. Finally, someone has come up with the answer to save us all.
