For Mr. Greer 1

I stole this from Dave, but this is also for Mark, whose love for Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Cartoon Network knows no bounds. Which Aqua Teen Hunger Force character are you?? I am Frylock. Score.

Direction

Caution: Job Angst within. Proceed at your own risk. I’ve realized that I have no idea what I want to do with my life, at least on any sort of permanent basis. I know I want to keep working at the show, and try and get brought on as a production assistant next year, but ...

News In Action 3

The local news that shows up in the “Headline News Local Edition” here was interviewing people at the Grammys last night about Boobgate and its impact on the awards show.

The Onion hits the nail on the head yet again: This is so me trying to write a paper when I was in college.

Viewer Alert

Anybody that has seen the show has probably seen the wonderfully dippy little opening gags we do each day when they whoosh the door back to reveal Ellen at the very beginning of the show, right after the opening credits roll, and before the monologue. It’s a bit like the couch gag on the Simpsons. ...

Rubberneckin’

Sometimes I can understand a bit of rubbernecking. And sometimes it just makes no goddamn sense. I ran into both on the way to work this afternoon.
