Channeling Larry King, I don't know why

Item! Tom Skerritt should be making more movies.

There are few positions I enjoy more than sitting.

I know this will make me unpopular, but flip-flops are insufficient footwear.

Ignore your lumbar region at your own peril, gang.

Don't be a goof! Patronize your local library.

What's with clogging?

There are few living actors who smell better than Joel Grey.

I don't care what anyone says: for me, rye bread is the choice of kings.

You can argue all you want that gnomes don't dwell beneath my floorboards, but I'll wait to hear from the experts, thank you.

So... you are in the habit of sniffing celebrities, eh? Come to the cabaret my friends, Have sniff of Joel Grey my friends... Yeah. I can see it.

I want to know HOW you know the smell of Joel Grey. Seriously.

Very interesting. I'll concur on the point of Tom Skerrit. Underutilized talent.

You and Mimi Smartypants are in complete agreement on flip flops, while some of us readers choose to disagree politely ...

Hilarious! This is a great list. I think I have gnomes underneath my floorboards, too.
November 13, 2007 | Unregistered CommenterMischa
Rye, gnomes and library patronage - I concur wholeheartedly. And the flip-flops, too, though as a San Diego native I could be stoned for saying such things.

I like sitting and watching Tom Skerrit movies while flipping my flops and eating a good rye sandwich.

Hate flip flops. Prefer to be barefoot. But really just in my home and underneath my desk. Besides, shoes should be cute, not disturbing with evil thongs sticking between your toes. Yuck.

And, oh my God, rye bread is the best. Mmmm.

"Gynecology or kung fu: Discuss!"

I, too, loathe the infernal *fwap* and the possibility of toe-cheese contact invited by society's flip-flop epidemic.

Flip-flops are the tool of the devil. I see all these 20-year-olds wearing them and I think, Just you wait until you tear your Achilles.

Then I shake my fist at them and yell GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU PUNKS and go have a Geritol with a gimlet chaser.

Libraries, yay!

Also: yay to flip-flops. Sorry - it's a SoCal thing...I do, however, think they are inappropriate when it snows.

I might have gnomes in my ceiling.

this is what happens when you spend too much time on the west coast....

If Joel Grey smells like toasted light rye, I am a lost, lost woman. Tom Skerrit? He can wear my flip flops anytime (which is not, used here, as a euphemism for sex, but could be, in a foot-focused beach culture - or maybe just some place nice, with a pool). And also? Say "thespian" with a lisp. Really. It will cure what ails ya.

Not sure I understand the post, but it cracks me up. And I am TOTALLY with you on the flip-flop issue. I work at a university and they are standard footwear, regardless of season.

NaBloPoMo is totally kicking your butt, isn't it? tee hee
November 13, 2007 | Unregistered CommenterSue
I've actually seen/met Tom Skerrit a bunch of time since he lives near Seattle; and yes, he SHOULD be making more movies.
November 13, 2007 | Unregistered CommenterBethanyWD
Perfection.
November 13, 2007 | Unregistered CommenterBOSSY
You would be horrified at the number of flip flops that I own. I have gnomes in the basement, and something lives in the tree outside my bedroom window, not sure what yet.
November 13, 2007 | Unregistered CommenterBri
I can't even tell you how hard this made me laugh.

But then again, I guess I just did.

Clogging is to my People as Riverdance is to the Irish.

It is the Irish, right?

Clogs, on the other hand, are just wrong. On very many levels, for lo, several generations now.

halarious post, but....whaat??? Larry King?

yep, I think you've officially lost in the war with NaBloPoMo.

Tom Skeritt? Highly underrated. Love him!JulesHouse of Jules

As a library worker, may I also suggest:

Patronize your local library, and don't be a goof!

Flip-flops are the footwear of the devil.
November 14, 2007 | Unregistered CommenterCandy
Rye bread is very awesome, I heart my local library, and flip-flops are necessary when you can't be actually barefoot. They're not really shoes, they're just to wear so you don't kicked out of places all summer long.
November 14, 2007 | Unregistered Commentersuperblondgirl
Yes! Tom Skerritt! Where are you?

I'm one of the flip-flop lovers. I wish I could wear them all year round. Even though I know it is just a small layer of plastic keeping my foot from disgusting things on the ground.
