Weโ€™re two episodes in, and really enjoying it so far.

Gigi, but I wonโ€™t say which song.

I had a few hard and fast rules during my years of Federal employment. One was that work events/events with coworkers do not involve bathing suits.

The Anti-Deficiency Act (basically saying you canโ€™t expend funds unless appropriated by Congress) does contain criminal penalties. To date no one has been criminally prosecuted, but that needs to change.

โ€Come on, Oscar. Letโ€™s me and you go get drunk.โ€

Iโ€™m Oscar.

I also love the way Angela says โ€œideas just POP into me head.โ€

I think Miss Piggy would be an excellent Charlotte Vale. Janice could play Tina since they both have stringy hair.

Has Jeff forgotten about Libbyโ€™s origin story? Will Mary spend several weeks and a trip to the Bum Boat (not a euphemism) explaining how she gave her cat to Estelle?

Why would strategists stop Harris/Walz from saying how weird these guys are? They are incredibly weird.

And I was thinking it would be a song in Sherry! since sheโ€™s name-checked so many times in The Man Who Came To Dinner.

Felicia and Wallingford were a PAIR!

If weโ€™re recasting, as much as I love Coral Browne, I would like to see Talullah Bankheadโ€™s Vera Charles.

Just like in the beginning of Arsenic and Old Lace!

Right next to childrenโ€™s books. Maybe Jimmy will have a line of some sort of alcohol.

Katerina Witt is not โ€œyour grandmotherโ€™s doiliesโ€ by any stretch of the imagination.

No longer a WaPo subscriber, but I imagine the author wasnโ€™t around for the โ€œbattle of the Brians,โ€ or Katerina Witt (certainly nor grandmotherly-like), not to mention Elvis Stojko.

Of course McEldowney makes heavy use of a thesaurus. He tells us a lot about himself with these strips (derogatory).

This sounds great! I loved Derry Girls. The interrogation scene with Liam Neeson (on YouTube) never fails to make me laugh.

Screenshot from the episode of The Simpsons where Homer sued The Frying Dutchman Restaurant for cutting off the โ€œall you can eatโ€ buffet. His attorney, Lionel Hutz (Phil Hartman, RIP) is asking โ€œdid this sound like the actions of a man who had all he could eat?โ€

Please do it. Iโ€™ve had at least a dozen colonoscopies (thanks UC!), and theyโ€™re a breeze. The prep is the worst part and thatโ€™s moreโ€ฆunpleasant.

He was so young. He was always doing interesting things, including five episodes of Pose (I think he played Evan Petersโ€™s boss?).

Murder, She Wrote! I love Angela Lansbury would find parts for her fellow old MGM stars.

We just rewatched it recently, and it is Joan who eats the candy. I agree with Little Mary that the bathroom is โ€œperfectly ridiculous,โ€œ but I mean it as a compliment.

My Joan go-to would probably be Flamingo Road or Sudden Fear. There are so many to choose from!

I think I saw this scenario in an art film once.

Ooh! These are all great. I would especially like to see Nicole Byer.

People magazine has just been on fire lately.

Probably both were off in some corner of the store in case someone gets offended by their existence (not for the bad design).

For Pride the โ€œQueen Tingsโ€œ tote bag has rainbow stripes?

That makes sense, and it does sound like heโ€™s a one person shop (or at least heโ€™s not throwing an associate or clerk under the bus).

So how about every question from the press is "When will the president apologize for his disgusting racism and also resign?" and they just keep asking that, and only that, till he does both (though I'll be fine with just the latter)?
