Like Anchorman crazy? ‘.. there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident…’
I have to try Anchorman again. I found Will Ferrell really irritating for years. I'm starting to appreciate him a little more lately.
reply
Small doses… I haven’t seen half his films as I assume, perhaps unfairly, if you have seen one you have seen them all. I have similar feelings about Jim Carey…
reply
Exactly. I can't really warm up to either. I did find Jim Carey funny early on in "In Living Color" days, but I'm sure that show is dated and seems pretty offensive now.
reply
I don’t recall seeing it. ‘Man On The Moon’ is excellent and it’s claimed tipped him over the edge.
reply
I was a big Andy Kaufman fan. You either loved him or hated him. Carey did a good job. I actually like him better in his recent unhinged state. Maybe that's cruel.
reply
We should have guessed that we both liked Andy Kaufman… certainly surreal enough for us.
Not cruel as much as appreciative of the gift of his mania perhaps.
reply
Way back when Kaufman did his Mighty Mouse thing on Saturday Night Live I almost died laughing. My family wanted to know what the hell was so funny.

I go full Tony Clifton singing ‘in the club style’ on occasion….
That's what I'm talking about. Does SN seem a little overwhelming since this little price run? I'm finding it tough to wade through all the detritus.

I am actually avoiding reading posts from anyone I don’t recognise. I don’t have time for other people’s faux excitement…
Like lemmings charging,
‘Follow me! cries FOMO crowd
….straight over the cliff…

That gem deserved its own post.
reply
Yes, we haven't seen SN in a bullmarket. Should be interesting.
reply
I hope it's interesting, and not just chaotic. I have to learn to use mute more effectively.
reply
Slightly more interesting than here then….
Highlight of my morning has been the neighbours cat spying on me and putting sugar in my coffee instead of sweetener… (that’s me putting sugar in my coffee, not the cat. That would be very strange.)
reply
That would be one useful cat. I drink my weak US coffee black and unsweetened. I suspect you start with a stronger brew.
reply
I grew up drinking tea… these days it’s a double espresso injected into my eyeballs while attaching myself to a car battery. It takes that to get me jump started these days…

I like to work all morning while gradually raising my blood caffeine levels.
