In today's Zits comic strip, Pierce says "I believe that paperclips are the larval stage of wire coat hangers." http://www.arcamax.com/zits/s-235240-821437I'm not real pleased about this. The comic's writers (Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman) lifted the joke from a wonderful story called "Or All The Sea With Oysters" by Avram Davidson. The story was first published in 1958, but it won a major award and was widely reprinted, most notably in The Hugo Winners, Book One.*daha*

My truelove was shopping for groceries and encountered a person set up at a table of used books, being sold to fund some charity or another. She bought a small hardback reissue of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes which I re-read with delight. I then sought out more of the canon online, and in reading the story "The Silver Blaze" I encountered the word "penanglawyer" which from context is a type of walking stick, suitable for clubbing a horse trainer to death.A google search on penanglawyer brought me to a youtube account by that name, at which has been posted favorited a number of Holmes-related videos. Therein I discovered The Adventures of Wassup Holmes and laughed my ass off. It helps if you've read The Hound of the Baskervilles and it helps if you can enjoy white boys rapping.*daha*

Must rent movie: Hoodwinked. Sure, they marketed it as a kids movie, but it works all the way for adults. Stoned adults will love it even more, but you don't need drugs to enjoy it. Just turn it on, and laugh, and smile between the laughs.If I tell you that it is an animated musical retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, you'll probably decide that it couldn't possibly entertain adults, so I won't tell you that. *daha*
