Harvey Korman - R.I.P.

Somewhere, in the back of my mind, I can see Tim Conway coming up to the coffin at the wake, looking at the body for a second too long, and Harvey Korman starting to laugh.

P.S. Too many memories of this guy to leave it at that:

Harvey Korman: One please... Uhh... Student?
St. Peter: Are you kidding?
Harvey Korman: Pain in the ass.

P.P.S. Yes, I know he did not write his own jokes in the movies I love him in. However, a less talented comedian would have simply said the lines and the jokes would have had to carry their own weight. Korman was one of those guys who takes a written comedy script, adds himself to it, and makes it even funnier. It takes a lot of talent to say "Don't get saucy with me, Bearnaise" as a straight man. He had that type of talent.

An expressive rendition...

The Sex and the City movie is coming out soon.

I do not think I can put into words how much I loathe this concept. I mean, when I hear the music, I get sick. Nothing, NOTHING can convince me that I will actually enjoy seeing the Four Whores-women of the Metropolis on the big screen.

However, by way of an expressive rendition, I will show you how I would feel if I had to watch it:
That is all.

P.S. Yes, darling, that was for you, so, don't even ask.

The most important thing to learn about Modern Adult Life

The most important thing about Modern Adult Life I have come to learn is that it consists primarily of doing shit for other people when you can think of a million better things to do with your life.

"It is what it is"

Next time you hear someone say this, do me a favor, punch them in the face.

It's OK.

I give you permission.

To anyone who uses this phrase, Aristotle, over 2,000 years ago, developed "formal logic." Its three basic laws are 1) the "law of identity" (a thing is always equal to itself, or A equals A); 2) the "law of contradiction" (if a thing is always identical with itself, it cannot be different from itself, or if A equals A, it can never equal non-A); and 3)the "law of excluded middle" (everything must be either one of two things; when two opposing statements confront one another, both cannot be true or false; the correctness of one implies the incorrectness of its contrary).

These inseparable laws are the axioms of Aristotle's system of thought and are the foundational underpin of everything that is based or grounded in logic.

By saying "it is what it is" are you trying to convince me that the law of identity is true?

Really?

Things I never thought I would hear myself say:

People who poop on the floor do NOT get to yell at their sister for being bad!

P.S. This occurred on the day of the Kentucky Derby. Perhaps this was an oracular event as Big Brown won the race?
