Will the Duggars Inherit the Earth?
In which I am inspired by a snarky comment on another blog. My normal routine involves a fair amount of procrastination, but I tell myself that's OK (really), because sometimes it leads to work ideas. Like, a couple of months ago, when I was browsing through the Onion AV Club and stumbled over th... More.
My son, the nude model
John Schwartz at the New York Times writes about what it's like to have a son in college whose job is to sit around with no clothes on. Hey, from the son's perspective, what's not to love, right? The only job requirement is that you have a body. Snip: As a little boy, Sam once asked me: "Dad, is ... More.

Is he gonna be okay? Sounds like he's about to have a coronary event of some sort.
Still not as funny as the weatherman who flailed at the cockroach :-)
@ 2:
I feel like I should get the reference, but my brain isn't being cooperative. Weatherman? Cockroach? Bzuh?
I still love the German weathercaster best

Whoa, that's channel 13 here in Indianapolis. I think that is retired weatherman Bob Gregory. David Letterman once worked there as a weatherman as well.

heeeelarious!
yep that's Bob Gregory. He used to host that Brain Game show too...now that takes me back...
@ Jmigmac:
That absolutely made my day! I have no idea why I missed that the first time around. Thank you!
I'll take two of whatever he had...
amazing how many hoosiers there are on here
The weatherman being from Florida, I'll bet it was a palmetto bug (gigantic roaches).
And why did Muttley laugh at every damn thing?
Strong wheezes from the east today, with a 100% chance of strange hand gestures over most of Central America today..
Yup...that's Bob Gregory, all right. I appeared with him several times on the Brain Game (as a contestant), and he was always a lot of fun. He never had any idea what he was talking about, though...
Wow. Sadly, I remember the wacky races show. The show (or I think it was a space-themed spin off of the show) was part of a larger show called "wake, rattle and roll." Which was about as "cool" as the Super Mario super show. :P
Punchline: "She wouldn't eat her mushrooms."
Muttley! That's so excellent! Good catch, Mark!
However, his laugh does not beat Arthur the Weatherman's laugh.

Whats the joke, grandpa?
Am I the only one that thinks his laugh sounds kinda otherworldly? He sounds like he is possessed or something. Maybe if we slow it down we'll hear a secret message?
Not a weatherman, but this is the BEST LAUGH EVER.

You can't help laughing with him after a while.
A many repeated English one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbGwdIYph6Q
that was the Laff-a-Lympics, wasn't it? With, heavens to Murgatroyd, the first gay cartoon character, Snagglepuss.
He is the cutest thing in the world. He deserves a raise.
NOT the laff a lympics. The characters from the laff a lympics team the Really Rottens were made to resemble Dick Dastardly and Muttley but were not actually them. Dastardly and Muttley (glances fondly at T-shirt acquired at thrift) are from Wacky Races. From wikipedia,
