T-Bones doesn't like it.... he LOVES IT!

[Kid Icarus]

I know that intentional lack of knowledge is part of the Best Show humor, but you're all a bunch of idiots if you don't realize that the phrase has been around for hundreds of years. It's a simple concept.

[Emily]

since "hundreds of years" is a long time, on a hunch, I shot an email over to my good friend Bill Safire, and he confirmed in a matter of seconds (because that's how obvious it is to anyone who studies the origin of phrases) that Tom Scharpling was in fact, the very first person to ever utter this phrase.

Rest assured, it will most certainly be the subject of this Sunday's "On Language".

Am I way off in assuming that Tom maybe-kinda-sorta lifted this phrase from Arrested Development?

I could be wrong.

You ARE wrong. Tom doesn't 'lift' things. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Tom.

Sorry, Tom. I am shamed.

[Kid Icarus]

Tom Scharpling did not invent that phrase. I'm not joking. ......I'm KIDDING!!

Hey guys, FOT Jixby here. I called into the T-Bones show and he put me on the air and I called him, quote, "A MOTHER FUCKER" unquote. He stopped doing the voice and started screaming at me with his fists balled up so hard that blood was coming out of them. before he hung up on me i shouted out FRIENDSOFTOM.COM. Naked Trucker had to do the rest of the show while T-Bones just glowered at the screen.

I gotta go smoke some doobage so see you later, I'm fucking baked

[Sarah]

Gee, I'm so happy you're representing the Best Show, Jixby.  What better spokesperson could the FOT hope for?

Also on SNL, Dakota Fanning just read the new Thomas Pynchon book.
