Remi writes (in the comments to this post): “…the fact is that Garfield, instead of just feeling worn-out and soulless, is designed that way specifically to sell the most crapola.”

The article to which he links seems to support that argument. But we’ve already had the “Garfield is crap” discussion here, haven’t we?

Over in the Cappers eGroup, TheDiva posed the following questions, taken of course from Inside the Actors Studio:

  1. What is your favorite word?
    Mellifluous
  2. What is your least favorite word?

    Cancelled
  3. What turns you on?
    Smart girls are sexy.
  4. What turns you off?
    Phoniness, hypocrites
  5. What is your favorite curse word?
    Frell
  6. What sound or noise do you love?
    Thunder in the distance on a summer evening
  7. What sound or noise do you hate?
    My alarm clock. Actually, any electronic alarm clock. I cringe just hearing that sound.
  8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
    For now, let’s just say full-time writer.
  9. What profession would you not like to do?
    TV pundit or the guy who follows the elephant act with a shovel (I’m not completely convinced that they’re two separate things)
  10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
    “You’re wearing THAT?”

Feel free to answer ’em yourself if you like, although I ain’t no James Lipton.

For the next three days, they’re testing the fire alarms in the building because — and this is only a guess here — they hate us with a fiery passion and want us to suffer.

An amusing link from Neil Gaiman:

“We’ve been wondering if we’re going to get 12,000 Yanni CDs,” said Wallace Hoffsis, director of collections development for the Sacramento (Calif.) Public Library.”

That’s one of the signs of the apocalypse, isn’t it?
