The way he (or I should say Mike Judge) can simply tell someone to "stop being a jackass" is so much better than anyone else saying the same thing.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544216856514863432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172537695359417126.post-83338128056500547672009-04-20T12:45:00.000+10:002009-04-20T12:45:00.000+10:00Uamada - I'm thinking Pete Griffin should make the...Uamada - I'm thinking Pete Griffin should make the grade.<br />Doc - Steve Waugh had that latent comedic genius. Clarckson does come up with some good ones, particularly in relation to bicycles, the environment and electric cars. Had a couple of quick beers on Friday with Lermie. He's doing fine.<br />Bangarrr - missed that one. "God sent me" has always been a good excuse to open fire.<br />Abe - I reckon its more nostalgia than anything else and I'm trying to avoid that sort of sentimentality. I avoided Boston Legal mainly because of Shatner.Therbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02152748667559020695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172537695359417126.post-29146550481807349412009-04-20T07:50:00.000+10:002009-04-20T07:50:00.000+10:00I thought of one...Alan Shore in Boston Legal, pla...I thought of one...Alan Shore in Boston Legal, played by James Spader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172537695359417126.post-83652280403236934822009-04-19T11:22:00.000+10:002009-04-19T11:22:00.000+10:00They don't make 'em like they used to, Therbs.They don't make 'em like they used to, Therbs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172537695359417126.post-66808722761308042022009-04-17T20:54:00.000+10:002009-04-17T20:54:00.000+10:00B5 had some good ones,
