Whatcha reading?

Mostly that he won't admit that he was Tony Clifton.

Is that to further the Andy mystique? I mean, it's no great secret that they shared Clifton duty to confuse.

edit: Just grabbed the book off the shelf. He confirms that he was Clifton part of the time, that it was Andy's idea. So he's since backtracked on that?

Sorry, I was just joking.

Damn you for playing my curiosity as some kind of gullibility tuba!

It wasn't a good joke. I take full responsibility.

You owe me a Mr. Pibb.

Are you sure you wouldn't prefer the competitor? He's a doctor, honey, a doctor.

I apologize for Kory. Bob Zmuda and I created him, and he's just the worst.

Well, I hope you two were laughing because absolutely nobody else ever laughed at anything Kory did!

When we lived in NC, the cheapo grocery chain closest to us, Food Lion, sold their brand, Dr. Skipper. Somehow it couldn't even get Dr. Pepper right.

I'm surprised it wasn't John Skipper, PA.

God, shopping at Food Lion was, in retrospect, a full and open confession that we were poor and had awful diets.

What are the chances the "beef" was actually lion?

We later learned that the company got busted for unsanitary practices handling meat, so …

Food Lion and Aldi are my teo grocery stores of choice. We go to Harris Teeter sometimes but it's overpriced.

Piggly Wiggly wins hands down for most adorably named chain.

Zmuda's frustrating because of how full of shit he is.

Details? Is he self-aggrandizing or continuing the shell game of his and Kaufman's partnership? Or something else?

It's the continuation of the Kaufman partnership, but not so artfully done and come on, it's been forty years, that's enough.

I sez, Zmuda, I sez. Don't bullshit a bullshitter. Zmuda.

21) Here's Johnny by Ed McMahon. Audiobook as read by the author. This memoir of the man's years sat to the right of Johnny Carson won't break any new ground, but it delivers on the blurb's promise of being like having lunch with Ed. A boozy, repetitive lunch where decades old jokes are retold and Johnny's honour is diligently defended and any claims of Carson having ice in his veins roundly denied. Fun escapism, no literary worth.
