Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
One of the greatest television characters of all time.
I didn’t realize ’til I stumbled across this there is a certain “critical mass” quality to Al Bundy humor. You have nine straight minutes of the “best of” and it becomes exponentially funnier. Didn’t seem like it when the show was on, because I was freshly divorced, up to my ass in debt, and it kinda hurt.
But even then, with just five seconds of Al Bundy humor at a time, you couldn’t keep a straight face if you tried. And Al Bundy makes a lot of people try. Hard. They stare down on him with that disapproving scolding visage…and it doesn’t work. “With a pepperoni slice in my face and a greasy hooter in my hand” — how can you not crack up at that? Really.
Update: They missed the one moment of Married With Children that made Jefferson d’Arcy an even greater character than Bundy.
You have to fast forward to 9:16. Not that many chuckles on the laugh track, but I think this is completely awesome. We have all known a “guy” like this at some time in our lives, haven’t we fellas? We’ve all known an Al Bundy too, but that guy tends to keep to himself and remain relatively harmless.
What a great show. Even Ted McGinley couldn’t kill it.
