This show was great. And Comedy Central’s doing it right - a 3 show series. Even Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the show it’s parodying, is getting tired with age, and this one would even faster. But there’s certainly enough to parady for three episodes. And as Comedy Central goes, I’m sure they’ll be replaying it ad infinitum, so if you missed it, you’ll have more chances to catch it.
Make sure to look for the prime decoration plucked from the dumpster. If it doesn’t look familiar, and you’re a Houston Continental Club (HCC) regular, perhaps you should practice your observation skills next time you’re there.

Unfortunately, I had to skip the everwonderful TG’s bingo at the 3700 Main - with sister #2 in the house, no less. But I needed some Bill Time. I enjoyed hanging out, watching some boob toob, and making some fabulous soup, which cninety9 mentioned a while back.
Also managed to get a month’s worth of recyclables on the curb last night. All gone.

Is it a good idea to memorialize dead people with a hospital?

Monday’s horoscope.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most social blunders start with the ego. Of course, you’re wonderful, and it is awful hard to keep quiet about such things. Cultivate a confident place in the world. Trust that others can sense who you are without your telling them.
Did you see it?
Prob’ly not, but I see it and hear it dozens of times a day.
It’s killing me slowly.
I may be a mathematician and scientist by education, but I try to treat the English language well.
You should have learned it many years ago: an adjective modifies/describes a noun, period; an adverb modifies/describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
Most often it is the [ADJ][VERB] (heard every minute on sports talk radio) grouping that gets me riled, but yesterday Joyce Jillson decided she wanted to use to the [ADJ][ADJ] of “awful hard” to piss me off. So perhaps my ego is leading to this social blunder (I will invariably smash some grammar here), but anyone who’s paid to write should know those two simple rules. That phrase rings of Jethro Clampett.
