So now I go Bronco. Or Caprice. Remind me to tell you my former locktician's theory about black men who drive white cars one day.
George touched on the D.C. sniper thing a few days back. Oliver has mentioned it a few times, too. Could lie and say I wish I had something to add, but I don't. There's the irony of all of us buying the line that it had to be a crazed white guy, but there's only so much sarcastic (supposed) humor to be wrung from multiple deaths.
Unless it's slow car chase white Bronco jokes, of course.
Christopher Priest mentioned losing some respect for David Letterman when Dave finally gave in and started doing OJ jokes along with the rest of the cool kids.
Letterman, sadly, succumbed to OJ jokes after first taking the high ground, shutting guest Howard Stern down with the withering disclaimer, "Double murders just don't crack me up the way they used to." Thunderous and sustained applause. Letterman forced Stern to keep his coat closed, to cover a Simpson parody tee-shirt, and Letterman has not, to my knowledge, ever re-run that segment. I wish he'd stuck to his guns, letting Leno be the jerk, but after a few test shots across the bow, Dave was fully in the Simpson gag reel, though still not to the gutter level of Leno.
Rarely watch Letterman, Leno or Conan, and I don't have a tv at the moment -- anyone want to tape "Angel" for me tonight? I'll be your friend -- so I gots no clue if they've been doing jokes about the sniper lately.
Don't especially want to find out, to be honest. I'm still catching up on reading various sites. There could be something utterly hilarious out there, and any pointers or suggestions are welcome.
Just not seeing anything funny about people dying right now.

I need to catch up on Angel, I think. People keep telling me it's gotten to be really good. I can't really explain why I just sort of drifted away from watching it when the last ep I watched ended on a set of lines that completely knocked me on my ass.
That being the exchange that ended with "No, Gunn, I'll know I can depend on you when you have to kill me, and you do."
I think Fred was the problem. Is she less annoying... or gone?

did you happen to see that thing going around as "voted funniest joke" in which the guy calls 911 saying he thinks his hunting buddy is dead, the dispatcher says "okay, first i need you to go over there and make sure he's dead," followed by silence, then a gun shot, and then the guy gets back on the line and goes "okay, now what?"
sorry, that was insensitive toward gun nuts.
while channel surfing i accidentally caught a glimpse of that hunting show on cable and almost barfed, yesterday. worse than just seeing them hit the deer was seeing them miss repeatedly, scaring the crap out of it, before finally hitting it. i'm trying to remember the writer who said "cruel and inhuman" was a misnomer...

Say Bill, seems like nobody really cares.
You'll have to go troll somewhere else.

Thanks, Laura. And Bill? You maybe don't want to do this sort of thing from IP Address 152.163.188.162, since AOL's Rules of User Conduct do not look favorably upon such behavior.
