I Let My Fists Do The Talkin’

Oh Bob. Still at it.

Bob Newhart in “The Challenge”

Bob, I love you. But I’m scared of your teeth. They look like robot teeth.

I mostly posted this to justify my “Newhart” category.

The Barack Obama show airs tonight…

New York Magazine has an article making fun of it. But the best thing about that article is this picture which gives me another item for my “Newhart” category on this blog.

One Manga

I found this site back in January and started obsessively reading the most bizarre titles on the site (top picks: competitive makeover artists vs. a reluctant “Iron Beautician,” another good one is about a tough guy who’s face burns off in a bus crash and a mad “perverted” doctor gives him the face of the girl he has a crush on; sexual hijinx ensue). There’s a huge network of “fan translators” who do titles that no publishing house in the US would touch. Too weird. Too niche. Too old. Too Japanese.

Between this and the videos on crunchyroll.com (go there and watch Bartender if you haven’t) and episodes of The Bob Newhart Show on hulu.com), I will never pay for entertainment media again. (You hear that, all megaproducers of entertainment on the fence as to whether you will make a profit from putting things on the internet? I WILL NEVER pay you money or support your advertisers. Haw haw. Jokes on you!)

Although you’re all distracted by the recent, unexpected death of Heath Ledger, I’d like to point out another fantastic Hollywood star recently taken from us too, too soon at the spry age of 70.

(I am mostly noting this because I have this picture already uploaded. But I just read her bio on Wikipedia... did you know she was married to Tom Poston? Bob, your wife left you for the handyman!)
