So either nothing inspiring or interesting happened on this date in history, or Garrison Keillor really likes William Wordsworth.

From today’s spam: “People say you are corpulent.”
Well sure, what with all those pancake ices you keep sending me, it’s no wonder!
From Sci Fi Wire:
Kristy Swanson, who played the title character in the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie, told SCI FI Wire that she’s just completed shooting another horror film, Living Death, which is a kind of Double Indemnity with blowfish and paralysis.
I think more of Billy Wilder’s movies should be remade with blowfish and paralysis. I’m thinking, particularly, of Some Like it Hot and The Seven Year Itch. In fact, while we’re at it, what movie wouldn’t benefit from a little blowfish and paralysis? I even like saying blowish and paralysis. It’s the perfect addition to any movie plot.
Except, ironically, for Blowfish and Paralysis , that John Wayne classic.
Incidentally, I was going to pick a real movie, but the only one I could find in the IMDB was 1997’s Blowfish. Yeah, me neither. I mention it only because I like the film credit for actor Jim Leavy — Man that Tows the car. I think more films should be credited this way: Man that Opens the Door. Woman that Says the Lines. Animal that is the Family Dog. It’s so much easier than thinking up names for characters.
Oh, and the IMDB has plenty more of these! The Toxic Avenger‘s Man that hates his mother in law. La Dolce vita‘s Man in sunglasses that helps Nadia strip. And of course who can forget the Woman Who Pays Beaver $5 to Mow Her Lawn from “Leave it to Beaver”? I know I can’t.
