Technically I was sitting in for Jeeg, but then Jeeg had to sit in for a Pax, so we just all piled onto one chair and started talking about the movies we would like to turn into TV shows. <br />

You probably won't be surprised by my pick... Humorous science fiction?
Hmm, we never would have guessed. There is also a Harold Ramis film in
the mix. Let us all have a moment of silence for one of our favorite
writers and directors. And actors! How many of us started collecting
spores, molds, and fungus because of Egon? We recorded before hearing
of his passing, but now I see it as something of a tribute. <br />

Kristina is a funny lady and March is women's history month, so I thought what could be better than to write about the history of funny women? Make sure to head over there and check it out.<br />

This companion post is an attempt to collect a list of women who are funny right now in that great big improv room known as Twitter. Not trusting that I would know all the funny women (who could?) I crowd sourced to compose the list. Please add more in comments and I will update the list.

<b>RIGHT HERE IN NEBRASKA</b><br />
Smack in the middle of our great nation,<br />
Is a state which requires some explanation,<br />
To east and west coasters who’ll come up and ask ya,<br />
“Is there anything of interest in the state of Nebraska?”<br />
La... la...dee... da... right here in Nebraska! And there’s more...<br />
<br />
It’s true we don’t have mountains covered in snow,<br />
But we do have the world’s biggest live chicken show.<br />
We’re the makers of Spam... we invented Kool Aid,<br />
And this is where the first Rueben sandwich was made.<br />
La... la...dee... da... right here in Nebraska! And there’s more...<br />
<br />
Our insect... the honeybee, our bird... the meadow lark,<br />
The strobe light, our invention, works best in the dark.<br />
As governments go, we’re a freak of nature,<br />
Cause we have the only one-house state legislature.<br />
La... la...dee... da... only in Nebraska! And there’s more...<br />
<br />
On Arbor Day, when you plant a tree,<br />
Remember that it started in Nebraska City,<br />
We were once called a desert, but that name didn’t take.<br />
Since we have the country’s largest underground lake.<br />
La... la...dee... da... right under Nebraska! And there’s more...<br />
<br />
We have the world’s largest forest, all planted by hand,<br />
And more miles of rivers than any state in the land.<br />
The College World Series calls Omaha home,<br />
And this is where the buffalo used to roam.<br />
Until we shot them... right here in Nebraska! And there’s more...<br />
<br />
We were the first state to finish our I-80 section,<br />
And the first to pit two women in a gubernatorial election.<br />
We invented 9-1-1 emergency communication,<br />
And we’re the top producer of center pivot irrigation,<br />
La... la...dee... da... right here in Nebraska! And there’s more...<br />
<br />
Our woolly mammoth fossil is the largest ever found,<br />
And our monumental “Car Henge” is bound to astound.<br />
We have a few museums that you could call “odd,”<br />
Dedicated to fur trading, roller skates, and sod.<br />
La... la...dee... da... right here in Nebraska! And there’s more...<br />
<br />
We built the world’s largest porch swing, indoor desert and rain forest,<br />
And anyone who visits is sure to adore us...<br />
So pack up the kiddies, the pets and the wife,<br />
And see why Nebraska is called “the good life.”Sue Londonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12820606642097170654noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636566.post-52634987826353123722010-07-20T13:34:00.004-05:002011-02-11T14:19:14.971-05:00How To Find Jesus In An EmergencyDo you remember when the Worst-Case Survival Handbook was big and it was funny because, well, it kinda wasn't trying to be funny? Problem solved. With <a href="http://www.amazon.com/OTHER-Worst-Case-Scenario-Survival-Handbook/dp/0595261523?ie=UTF8&tag=thougthatgets-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">The OTHER Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: A Parody</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thougthatgets-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0595261523" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> it really IS supposed to be funny. Let's try a sample:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">How to Find Jesus</span></div>Finding Jesus can be critically important in an emergency. The key is knowing where to look.<br />
<br />
1. <u>Don't Panic</u> Many people, after realizing they have lost Jesus, become panicky. This can be very dangerous. Instead, take a few deep breaths, relax, and think: where was the last place you had Jesus? Go there.<br />
<br />
2. <u>Look Around</u> Be thorough. Did you look behind the couch? He might be there. Don't just glance around the room, either. Lift things up. He might be in the clothing hamper, for instance. Check there. He's probably right where you left Him.<br />

<i>"The only difference between Bob Newhart on stage and Bob Newhart offstage – is that there is no stage."</i> ~ David Hyde Pierce <br />
<br />
To continue the "March is Irish American History Month" theme we looked up the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Irish-American_comedians">Wiki page of Irish-American comedians</a> figuring there would be more than a few of the silver-tongued devils to feature here. The one that immediately leapt off the page was 1961 Grammy-award winner for Best Comedy Performance, Best New Artist, and Album of the Year: <a href="http://www.bobnewhart.com/">Bob Newhart</a>.<br />
<br />
In case the title to this post didn't strike you as funny we'll do a little history on Bob's humor. (You don't mind if we call you Bob, do you Mr. Newhart? No, no we didn't think so.) He has built a fifty year career on being a straight man... even when there was no one else there for him to be the foil against. They always say that it's really the straight man of the two who is actually the funnier one ("they" includes people like Jerry Lewis talking about Dean Martin). That being said, Bob Newhart is apparently SO funny that the other half of his comedy team is just the absurdity of the world at large. In his early work he played out this "solo straight man" by using the simple prop of a telephone where he would carry on one-sided conversations. You may remember that this style worked its way into both <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bob_Newhart_Show">The Bob Newhart Show (1972-78, Emmy-nominated)</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newhart">Newhart (1982-90, Emmy-nominated)</a>, but wasn't as out of context on sitcoms as watching one-sided phone calls being performed by a comedian on a stage.<br />
<br />
So what's Bob been up to lately? You might have noticed that he played Will Farrell's adoptive elf father in Elf (2003) and that he's also playing Judson in the Librarian series of TV movies (2004-). <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/thougthatgets-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=48">Check out the Bob Newhart page at Stuff That Gets Stuck in Our Store.</a>Sue Londonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12820606642097170654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636566.post-59255845683641637632010-02-23T11:38:00.000-05:002010-02-23T11:38:57.226-05:00U.S.S.

Apparently it was so great that it made some people forget that <a href="http://twitter.com/billcosby">Bill Cosby</a> had about twenty years of brilliance, fame, and success before it came along. At least that's what I have to figure after getting an email from the Huffington Post titled "The Twenty Most Influential Black Comedians in America" that purported to celebrate black comedians for Black History Month but listed Cosby's influence in the 80s. Sorry, Bill, but in their book the eight Grammys (six for best comedy album) and four Emmys that you picked up BEFORE <i>The Cosby Show</i> just don't matter to them. If you link to the article, which is now called <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/13/the-20-most-influential-b_n_454276.html">The 21 Most Influential Black Comedians</a> (don't know who got a last minute add) you will see that there is no attempt at getting any historical perspective on the struggles and contributions of black comedians. It was a "Hey, it's Black History Month, get a bunch of pictures and quotes and throw them together for people to vote on" sort of approach. Interestingly, the quote they use for Cosby is one of the racier things I've ever seen him say.<br />
<center><i>So Bill, this thing in 1965 where you started a six-year domination of Grammy awards for Best Comedy Performance? They don't so much care about that.</i><br />

<i>And why isn't 1970's "Sports" on Amazon?</i></center><br />
<br />
In a way it's easy to see how Cosby's accomplishments can be overlooked. It's because he managed to make it all look so damn easy. But it wasn't easy, he just made it look that way with his innate charm and class, so you could say that he's the Sidney Poitier of comedians. And you want to talk influence? <br />
<blockquote><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Seinfeld" title="Jerry Seinfeld">Jerry Seinfeld</a> states in the inner sleeve of his album <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Telling_You_for_the_Last_Time" title="I'm Telling You for the Last Time">I'm Telling You for the Last Time</a></i> that [Bill Cosby's Grammy Award winning <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Is_There_Air%3F"><i>Why Is There Air?</i></a>] was the first comedy album he ever listened to, and that it subsequently helped inspire him to become a stand-up comedian. Seinfeld was finally able to meet Cosby in person in 2002.</blockquote>So not only did he break ground as a black comedian, he inspired a Jewish kid to go on to become one of the most famous (and rich) comedians of all time. And the Cos influences me, too. <a href="http://cmdrsue.blogspot.com/2009/07/dont-you-love-bill-cosby.html">As I've said before</a>, Bill Cosby is one of the comedians whose bits work their way into my daily speech. Whenever a TV character is about to walk into a situation they shouldn't my husband and I say, "Tonto! Don't go in to town!" And the recent snowpocalypse inspired a lot of snowballs and shouting of "I'll get you Junior Barnes!"<br />
<br />
So, in case no one else has done it, let me say it here and now. Thank you, Bill Cosby, for all the contributions you have made to comedy, comedians, and the laughs in my daily life. I never go to the dentist without thinking about you. I never wave people around my car without thinking about you. And I certainly never have chocolate cake (especially for breakfast) without thinking about you. You make all these annoying or mundane moments in life more bearable because now we can laugh about them.<br />

Yes, it's time for a change to our lineup. Like so many things lately, this is coming a bit late to be considered a "New Year" change; but better late than never I always say. There are changes to Monday, Tuesday, and Friday while the rest of the week stays pretty much the same. The change I'm most excited about are the plans for Friday (yes, this is the requisite teaser to scroll down). Feedback is always appropriate so make comments.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">MONDAY IS MOVIE DAY:</span> Do you know what we do all weekend? Watch movies (and tv shows) that's what, so on Monday we'll be ready to tell you all about it. There will be old stuff, new stuff, borrowed stuff, and blue stuff. (Ok, we're a G-rated blog, it won't be very blue. Unless Stitch or the Genie from Aladdin count.)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">TUESDAY IS COMEDY DAY:</span> Do you love the comedy like we do? Just a few minutes ago we tromped out in the cold while reciting Steve Martin's bit about kitty handcuffs. Come by on Tuesdays to check out a funny video or song. Or if you can't remember a particular comedian or bit then maybe we can help you out.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">WEDNESDAY IS WRITING DAY:</span> It's still all about writing! Fiction, non-fiction, screenwriting, writers' blog roundups, and updates on our writing pursuits. Come sit at our round table, have some coffee or tea, and do your best Dorothy Parker impersonation. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">THURSDAY IS TOYS DAY:</span> A day for all sorts of geek interests like internet games, new toys from <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/">ThinkGeek</a>, updates on the D&D campaign... that sort of thing. Also reports on other bloggers who have posted fun things on their blogs (so drop me a tweet, email, or comment when you have something good).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">FRIDAY IS FRESH VOICES DAY:</span> Extending the writing theme into another day where we will post interviews with aspiring authors under the theory "it is that which is nurtured that grows." Feel free to recommend Fresh Voices to be posted on the <a href="http://twitter.com/#/list/cmdrsue/fresh-voices">Twitter List</a> or featured on the Thoughts.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">SATURDAY IS POP DAY:</span> Pop psychology (yes, we will try to contain all of the personality tests and pop psych ruminations on a day when you're not likely to come by, isn't that kind of us?), pop culture, and sometimes soda pop. If you like all this stuff as much as we do then come by and let's entertain each other.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">SUNDAY IS GOD AND CHEESE DAY:</span> We will explore deep thoughts on philosophy, spirituality, or if nothing else occurs to us - cheese, in a bit of an homage (fromage?) to G.K.

</div>After contemplating Leonard Nimoy's "I Am Spock" and "I Am Not Spock" came up with <a href="http://twitpic.com/s6iqs">this logic problem (link to Twitpic)</a> which I'll be using on the Cracked.com "Topic" page for Leonard Nimoy.Sue Londonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12820606642097170654noreply@blogger.com1
