Rewind Sunday
I’ve noticed a whole lot of folks who I just started following and who are following me are still confused by Tumblarity. So as a public service I re-present, “What is tumblarity.” I hope this helps! Ag
Well That's Just Great

“ Give a man a fire and he’s warm for the day. But set fire to him and he’s warm for the rest of his life.
Terry Pratchett (via thebaffled)
I think it is a mark of my maturity level that I still find the Muppets hilarious and pertinent.
“Modulate!”
“What’s that?”
“You did it!”
“Thank you! Whatever!”
How about a little “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” action every day between now and Thanksgiving!?

“ There’s one thing people have to understand: Comics are not happy clowns. They are dark people, all of them, no matter how they grow up or what color they are. Anyone who has devoted his life to comedy and making people laugh wants to see that joy reflected back at him by rooms full of people because he’s never seen that kind of happiness anywhere else. Comedians are comedians because they need that laughter and joy; it fills a hole in them. Some of them will never get that hole filled either. For some comics, no amount of success and no amount of laughter is enough - that pain can never be relieved, that emptiness can never be satisfied.
Tracy Morgan (from his new book ‘I Am The New Black) (via danhacker) (via brvtalbrodeo) (via anthonybergen)
I would like my life written and directed by the Coen Brothers and scored by Carter Burwell, thank you very much. Ag
Because I am at heart an 80 year old man. Ag
“ I don’t think we are a delicate country. And I don’t think we’re a fragile country….The people who continually tell me how much they love this country and I don’t also say how little this country can accomplish to overcome the problems that all countries face.
Jon Stewart, talking to Lou Dobbs. Part 2. Part 3:
Dobbs:
We have a country that is fragile. That it is being governed as if it had unlimited resources. That we had every reason, because we are a superpower, to squander wealth and lives and blood…
We have a responsibility not to push this country farther than it can bear…
It is a time in which we have a nation that is extraordinarily delicate, extraordinarily vulnerable. And it’s time to start rethinking some of the orthodoxies, whether one is a liberal, a conservative, a Republican, or a Democrat.
Stewart:
I don’t think we are a delicate country. And I don’t think we’re a fragile country. I think that we’re an incredibly tenacious. The whole fabric of this country was born of people who came from a place they didn’t want to be to a place they wanted to be, to do whatever they had to do to make that. And that ethos still lives in this country.
The idea that trying Khalid Sheik Mohammed in New York will destroy us, or trying to bring universal health care to people will destroy us, or trying to solve the problem of global warming will destroy us is trumped up fear that’s being used as a wedge to flatter people into voting for them. And it is absolutely not a part of our national character. The people who continually tell me how much they love this country and I don’t… also say how little this country can accomplish to overcome the problems that all countries face.
It might be worth remembering Jon Stewart saying this to Lou Dobbs’ face.

Did you know that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s dying wish was that his most beloved characters be used to sell “Go-Go Taquitos” via advertisements on gas pumps at convenience stores across America. Well it was. I swear.
And although I joked about it earlier, I now think there is a better than fifty percent chance that this movie will in fact feature the phrase, “No Sh*t, Sherlock!”
Geez, Doyle! Cut it out! I can barely hear myself think over your spinning! Ag
