Better Chatter: Make Em' Laugh
http://betterchatter.blogspot.com/2009/01/make-em-laugh.html
Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Just wanted to clue you loyal fans in on the new PBS documentary Make Em' Laugh. Which starts tonight at 8pm EST. Their website describes it as "A six-hour comedy epic showcasing the most hilarious men, women, and moments in American entertainment and why they made us laugh." Sounds good to me. TONIGHT'S EPISODE: "Would Ya Hit a Guy with Glasses? Nerds, Jerks, and Oddballs". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe in a reader. Bryans 2008 Music Picks. Books, Booze, Eggs.

Better Chatter: July 2008
http://betterchatter.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 21, 2008. Last night at a barbecue I had a chance to rediscover School House Rock! One of the great tribute albums of my childhood. Much like The Crash Test Dummies' God Shuffled His Feet. I probably played this slightly jokey record about 39 times more than anyone reasonably should have. That being said, this collection, composed of 90's artists putting their own take on the entertaining, if slightly dippy, School House Rock. The real gem remains Blind Melon's "Three is a Magic Number," a s...

Better Chatter: June 2008
http://betterchatter.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. Dream of Glory on the Mound. With the Detroit Tigers finally playing better, the all-star game coming up, and because there's never a bad reason to share some George Plimpton, I wanted to include a link from the SI Vault (a treasure trove so vast that I've barely touched the season) to an article that Plimpton wrote almost 50 years ago about his experience pitching to a group of major league All-Stars. During a pregame batting contest. S tenure the inner voice refused to stay conta...

Better Chatter: May 2008
http://betterchatter.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 30, 2008. Our Nation Is Crumbling. I can't help but think NYC is falling apart. A crane on East 91 St collapsed this morning, becoming the second construction incident like this in the last two months. The Times. Something needs to change. Unfortunately our flailing. Stimulus package, and love of blowing things up. Are all drawing our attention away from this problem. Here's what I propose we do to get our infrastructure back on track:. Instead of one gigantic crane, use 10-12 big cranes.
