Shut up or I'm going to punch you in the throat*


How about those Red Sox? Somewhere around the fifth inning, I started to feel sorry for the Rockies--they ran into a buzzsaw. I suppose we'll find out tonight if they'll be able to shake off those cobwebs or the Sox are going to keep beating them senseless. Jenn is going to tonight's game. Look for her on the teevee if you're watching from home--behind first base about 16 rows back. I will be home watching with Buzzy--where it's warm, the beer is plentiful, and there are no lines for the bathroom.

Marty was a little peeved (in comments) at what he took to be my suggestion that Canadians aren't funny--in the context of my opining that Seth Rogen wasn't funny on SNL (or, for that matter, in Knocked Up--made watchable for me only by the presence of the lovely Katherine Heigl and the actually funny Paul Rudd). I will note, in my defense, that I do think Canadians are funny--some of them anyway. The many Austin Powers quotes--written by Canadian Mike Myers--on this site ought to be testament to that.

Also, Myers new movie, The Love Guru, looks like it might be quite funny. On the plus side, it was written by and stars Myers himself. Its also features the awesome Romany Malco (who, despite the fact that he has a funny name, is not Canadian), Justin Timberlake (playing a villainous French hockey player named Jacques), and Mini Me. On the minus side, it's got Jessica Alba, who, while undeniably fetching, is, as we have mentioned before, a terrible actress. Overall, I think we've got the potential for some really high-quality Canadian comedy here.

While we're on the topic--of Canadians, not bad actresses--Marty also points out that the recently departed Lois Maxwell--known to immature boys and men everywhere as Ms. Moneypenny--was Canadian. He points us to this very nice piece by Canadian journalist Mark Steyn. The piece reminds me why I used to read and enjoy Steyn's stuff (mainly in The New Criterion)--before he became a rather shameless apologist for the most vicious and appalling stuff done in the name of the GWOT (TM).**

RIP Viva Laughlin. I watched about 12 seconds of it the first week and it was pretty bad. Still, more Madchen Amick please. (This may have to do for now.)

*Just found this site with memorable quotations from often brilliant "The Office"--from whence the title of today's post comes (in which Dwight is threatening the smartass pizza delivery kid).

**"Global War on Terror", for the uninitiated.
