These are a few of my favorite choad things
Denny CraneOn Boston Legal, played by William Shatner. Shatner perfectly captures the way-out-of-it, ignorant yet cunning, self-serving Republican power choad. He's got the Mad Cow, and he's in love with/best friends with Progressive fellow lawyer on the show, James Spader. Gotta love him! You know he'd be a fun friend.
"The Dog"
Played by Duane "The Dog" Chapman, on the show called The Dog. I came across this show on a recent Jet Blue flight, and I don't need to tell you that upon first glance I was truly horrified. It's not pictured here, but "The Dog" is currently sporting rows of triangular-shaped beads woven into the front part of his bigger, more-fluffed-out-than-pictured-here ape drape (a.k.a extreme mullet.) Also, pointy wraparound shades that when he takes them off, there are pale areas in the shape of the pointy wraparound shades. But what is it the Buddhist masters tell us...that anybody we are either imediately attracted to or repulsed by is our teacher. "The Dog" is my teacher. Within five minutes I was completely hooked in. Turns out he's really charismatic, and his wife and family are kind of great, although the premise of the show is deeply problematic. It's like a terrible car accident that you can't help but look at, but then it kind of works out to be ok.
Tony SopranoDo I even need to say anything at all about this? Team Shredder is actually considering getting cable for 12 weeks just to make sure we don't miss any episodes, and then cancelling it.
you are not just a capt'n but a master if you could get with the dog-so what your saying is you got past your initial horror with the dogman
your an inspiration to me
I'm sorry you had to watch this show on Jetblue and I'm sorry the last thing you saw here was a dirty diaper on the curb
: 11:58 PM FUCK YOU David Brooks and stop talking out both sides of your lipless little mouth
today he writes about how its too bad that poor people don't have enough time or money to give their children a decent quality of life if only there was something we could do about it
and about 10,000 times I've heard him make this kind of pronouncement
I know there are worse crimes like just this week the man, you know who I'm talking about pushed aside decades of nuclear anti-proliferation to cut a deal with India because it's good business
that kind of greed is evil yes, it has a history people have written opera about it...
but it's the selling of it to people is what makes me crazy and there is something about the contempuous way Brooks makes this kind of evil palatable that is above average awful. It's like he's trying to assuage his own guilt of doing nothing by constantly saying there's nothing any of us can do anyway and he does it a lot
so next week he'll make a case for spreading nuclear weapons because if we don't sell it 'em someone else will or something fucked up like that as long as the end result is damn, I better sit back down on my couch
Capt'n I know this is more than maybe you wanted but can't we show up at his house or something I know I lean on you nearly everytime my head is about to explode but I'll do the dumping on his lawn you just got to have my back-you know I'm speaking figuratively
but maybe being direct is the way to go here
: 3:23 PM so many things. #1 being how you gonna go wrong with William Shatner? You can't.
When you get back here you know we will be rocking hbo nonstop. I support the "Sopranos and Cancel" move, kind of like the 2 for 1 hotel scam, but beware! You can get trapped by starting to watch other shows! Then you get like me, having to watch "shows." I have seriously reached the point where I'm like my grandmother, "When's my story on?"
There's no shame in our game!

Gree C, it wouldn't have felt like New York if the last thing I'd seen there was anything BUT a dirty diaper on the curb. One time when The Mrs. and I brought a west coast friend there for her very first visit, we took the train in from the airport, and the very first thing the friend saw of NY after stepping off the train was a giant human pile of dookey right on the train platform. It was existentially harsh but we had a crack up anyway.

Denny Crane is too pathetic and loveable to hate, "The Dog" is downright confusing, and Tony Soprano...well, even though he's a murderous lying psychopath, I'd much rather have him as our actual president than the MLP currently up in there.

sorry about this but Capt'n as long as there's choad talk happening I am driven nearly off the road after reading the paper and although I know you've heard this before I'm putting it out there again

Dagger,
so many things. #1 being how you gonna go wrong with William Shatner? You can't.
