I was looking through the cable guide for something good to absorb, and my eye was caught by the title of a Lifetime movie: "Nice Guys Sleep Alone". How true, how common and how unfortunate. It's a shame that what women really need is seldom what they desire. Who knows, I may be just talking out of my ass, but it seems to be true when it comes to the men they choose. Just watch COPS sometime and look for the bleeding woman with the black eyes who begs the police not to take her man to jail ("Please don't take him away, he's a good man, he's passed out undah the trailer right now with his dawg, Skeeter"). For the rest of you nice guys out there, don't give up hope. The girl for you really does exist, but for some reason karma chooses not to let you find her until you give up looking. But you will find her, or rather she'll find you, and you'll know it when she turns those mischievous eyes upon you.

Shit, that reminds me, I was going to tape The Shipping News for Molly, and it started 6 minutes ago. Well, I'll just have to keep a lookout for it in the coming weeks.

Ok, here's some more Simpson's highlights, this time from tonight's brand new episodes instead of from my unlabeled library of 30 - 6 hour tapes full of episodes; one of which is always in my VCR for random viewing. There's also Ren & Stimpy and South Park tapes in the library, and every Family Guy episode (including the banned from FOX and never aired "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" episode).

#1. Bart and Milhouse are both on a kids bike with lots of aftermarket frills on it. The gang of bullies (Nelson, Jimbo, etc.) ride by on mountain bikes and surround Bart and Milhouse. One of the bullies (sorry I don't know his name, but he always wears a white t-shirt, spiked bracelet and has a shaved head) yanks the tassels off of Bart's handlebars and says: "Thanks for the tassels! My mom can put them on her boobs when she goes to work."

#2. Marge and Lisa are burying the cat in the backyard, and Marge gets indignant:
MARGE (scowling and pointing at the sky): "...and Lord!, if you think I'm making lemon bars for your bake sale on Sunday, you'd better stop killing our cats!"
LISA (worried): "Mom, I'm not sure God responds to threats and intimidation."
MARGE (forthright): "It's the only way to get through to bullies."
