- Feeling nostalgic for old British sitcoms you’ve never heard of? Then try TV Comedy Classics. These are obscure enough that I’m wondering not just about the “classic” or “comedy” part, but also whether these were ever on TV. [via]
- The next time you’re at the ballpark and your favorite player hits one into the stands, think before you try to catch it: it could be taxable income in your hands there. [via]
- Want to travel out of state or to a national park? You soon might need a passport for that. [via]
- Wondering what Cormac McCarthy’s Toy Story 3 might look like? Ruben Bolling shows all. It’s funny, but the use of commas is pretty liberal by McCarthy’s standards. [via]
- I’ll admit, I haven’t actually read all of Adam Gopnik’s piece on Philip K. Dick in The New Yorker, but passages like “Since genre writing can support only one genius at a time — and no genre writer ever becomes just a good writer; it’s all prophet or all hack — the guy is usually resented by his peers and their partisans even as the establishment hails him. No one hates the rise of Elmore Leonard so much as a lover of Ross Macdonald.” are more than a little worrisome. [via]
