Look out, Poppy — IT’S RIGHT ABOVE YOU!!!
Oh, THANKS. My insomnia wasn’t bad enough already, now I’ve got clowns and raccoons on the same Grill.
That’s some goooooood eatin’
… and when there was no raccoons, we ate crawdads and when there was no crawdads, we ate tapirs and when there was no tapirs to be found, we ate clowns.
You ate what?
We ate clowns.
You ate clowns?
That’s right.
We figured there was too much happiness here for just the two of us, so we figured the next logical step was to eat us a critter.
Edwina’s insides were a tiny car where my clowns could find no purchase.
I’ll be taking these cream pies and whatever cash you got.
I seriously love you right now.
You ate SAND?!
Raccoons are your friend, Poppy. They keep the river clear of crayfish, which are creepy mini lobsters.
There will be an epic post-apocalyptic battle between raccoons and clowns. The last survivors of the human race will be caught in the crossfire and annihilated.
Especially if they continue to insist on switch hitting.
… which is why Sarah Palin is urging that more raccoons and clowns move to Israel.
Clowns are genuinely creepy. I will be aligning myself with raccoons to wipe the clowns off the face of the earth. And don’t underestimate the cleverness of coons.
plus our facial paint is much cooler.
Mike Huckabee feels your pain.
Ewwww!!!
Now I have the nightmare trifecta: raccoons, clowns, and I just sympathized with Joe Scarborough.
When I run the SW wing of the Raccoon Army, Scarborough goes first.

8. Well, “Rocky Perone” shattered that record. Though Parker is impressive for having made it to the majors.
I remember that story!
Did everyone who’s going to watch Project Runway already watch it?…
Was there a new one?
Yup. I hope some more interesting personalities emerge from the designers, that was a big shortcoming last season. The gal who got booted might’ve made for good drama later on, except for her sucks-as-a-maker-of-clothing problem.
Yes, last season had very little personality. I’m hoping to get more of that this time around, though it’s impossible to tell at first. It takes a few weeks before I can really tell people apart. Right now I’ve just got Ping, Georgia Queen, Crying girl from Oregon, “Punk Rock” guy with the waiter bowtie, and the guy who looks like Ilan from Top Chef.
My big frustration from last night was how much they liked Bowtie Guy’s plaid number. Have these judges never been to a Hot Topic? I swear every time they’re confronted with anything sort of “punky” they just fall all over it (for example Jeffrey Sebelia)while to me it just looks completely tired.
Ping was entertaining. It doesn’t seem like she’ll last very long, but she’s fun to watch.
I think it was the Bowtie Guy who had that crazy zipper on the back of the dress he designed. Not a fan. I did like the dress that won the challenge, though.
Is Beardy Weirdy competing?

Re 1: Mrs. nevermoor is a tribe fan.
poor mrs. nm…
Re 4:
Holy crap, who invited Cheney?
George Will.
That was his Triumph.
#7 – I’ve always kind of liked Kimmel, though I don’t watch his show much. The Man Show was a guilty pleasure – so wrong, but sometimes hilarious.
This describes me too
so wrong, but sometimes hilarious?
This describes me too.
so long, but sometimes in a rush?
This describes part of me too.

This is a Man Show thread – would TMS exercise discretion?

Mariners claim Everidge
bummer.
Once again, my peeps are being dissed.
that’s a sign of the apocalypse, no?
Needs moar clowns in the truck
I like Jimmy Kimmel, and think Jay Leno is an unfunny jackass…
Twenty years ago when he was doing stand-up he was a little funny. But now, I agree.
One of the many reasons American football sucks:
Baseball doesn’t come out much better in that measure.
yeah, soccer’s a joy.
Lot’s o’ scoring.
WordPress “technology” question:
How come I don’t get to see all of the posts in a particular category, or in an archive month? It only shows the last ten or so, and then I don’t see any way to go to “older posts” or “previous” or whatever. Am I just not seeing it? Or do I need to take the long way through the dashboard to find older posts in each category/month?
I think you do have to go through the dashboard, but here’s the direct link for you.
It’s the clowns.
TWSS
Hmmm… That’s probably something I could play with (once oblique either succeeds or gives in on his fancy stuff)
TWSS?
“fancy stuff”? TWHS
I saw that!!
Did anybody else see Kimmel’s hour-long Leno impression last Tuesday night, complete with wig, lisp, and silly-puddy chin? And then he follows that up by showing up on Leno and delivering the interview embedded above, “one of the most jaw-droppingly ballsy few minutes of television anywhere.”
I like reading Goodman on this: “how long can this car crash be televised? Right now it’s the best drama on the air.” And I like that his best barbs are for the NBC executives. And I have always enjoyed Conan in the past (less so since he moved to 11:30) and would love for him to get to keep his show.
But at the same time, don’t you have to give a couple of points to Leno?
1. He gets the highest ratings.
2. I kind of admire his having been able to take an evisceration like the one he took on national television and to handle it as gracefully as he did. “A plea from Jimmy Kimmel!” Indeed.
Geez. I at least embedded that same second clip.
“At least embedded” —> TWSS
Mark Mulder sighting
“new p. coach”?
DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS!
Any of you hip mothers listening to Meaghan Smith?

How come I never suggested “The Trough” (or The Trough Urinal) for this category?
works for me. Grill’s kinda generic anyhow.
You can’t dump in the trough.
ITYM shouldn’t
It’s where you dump if you want everyone to piss all over your link.
I’ve seen it done…
It’s where we piss away our day, after all.
ASVD
The Trough would be for a Man Show Thread
But that excludes us girls! If we make a link dump, can we call it The Stall?
Or, following mjd’s line of thinking, The Trampoline?
The Trampstampoline
The Lady J
The Freedom Squat
FREE SQUAT!

Well, he has reason to overreact–after all, look at all the environmental disasters that took place under the Glover administration.
I watched that a few weeks ago. I haven’t laughed that hard in a movie for a long time. Seriously, it was so hilarious, that I’m sure that RE was going for comedy. You know that scene in those movies where the hero falls into an abyss, and then suddenly his hand appears out of the darkness, and he’s safe? It was 140 minutes of that.
Rob Neyer: overrated at analysis:
How about using a better proxy there Rob?
Well, they were last in team OPS+.
A puppet! A proxy! A pawn!
Suresure — some jerk we can really push around.
Um, speaking of which — how the hell did I miss this?
Fucking bankers.
You know — for kids!
Yep. I was right.
That people in Texas are insane? Big leap.
