Title: My best friend's Canadian bride
Post by: Andy on February 06, 2008, 11:43:45 PM

I want to get her some sort of a book about how great America is that is obviously obnoxious without being hateful to immigrants.

I'm thinking about getting her a biography of Leon Redbone because he's the greatest thing to come out of Toronto.  If ou don't believe me watch this video:

Excerpted from Philip Roth's latest work:

Streaks on the china?  Never mattered before.  Who cared?  When you drop-kicked your jacket?  When you came through the door?  No one glared.  But sometimes, things get turned around.  And no one's spared.

There's a change in the status-quo.
Gonna need all the help that we can get.

According to our new arrival,
Life is more than mere survival.
And we just might live the good life yet.

When that show ended, I got ready to move to Pittsburgh.  Then someone told me that dude was an ACTOR and not even a real butler.  And that it wasn't even FILMED in Pittsburgh.

Another dream crushed.

My creaky brain just performed an act of heroism:  I read those lyrics, found them vaguely familiar, slowly began to hear the bullfrog stylings of Leon Redbone, and finally, as though hauling a heavy trap from the depths of the sea, my brain laboriously heaved the name of the show out of the murk of my memory.

I am exhausted.  And for what, I ask you?
