“Let us not talk falsely now…

Ok. In my office, a college student has an assignment to do something on a computer. The program acts weirdly. She says in a valley girl accent (which is her natural tone), all the while acting presumptuous as if the computer has wronged her:

After the night of anticipating the end in 2004 (where I left Jake Ivory’s to go home and watch a disaster movie in complete darkness), Howie Long made the connection. Howie Long knew it. We all knew it. We all though the Yankees had it that year, but they let their guard down. What Howie thought, though, was that in the NFL the Patriots had it.

It is a remarkable time to be living in New England. Read more »

Obviously, I missed the memo.

Carson Daly is a comedian?

I just watched a few minutes of Last Call with Carson Daly doing an imitation (he likely didn’t think so, but this is me talking now…) of Letterman’s awkwardness and body movements, Conan’s humor and body movements, all with a slight, hint of his own style.

But, not much of his own style. Read more »
