Robbin' the deaf!


I have posted about My Name is Earl before, and I gotta say that it makes me laugh so hard some times. Of course this is one of those shows where my wife doesn't appreciate it as much as I do, so I get to spend time watching it by myself. Because I am by myself, I can say the laughter is completely genuine. I am not laughing in response to someone else laughing. I am not laughing with the subconscious motivation to help others watching laugh. I am laughing because I find it funny.

On last night's season finale Earl hooks up with a deaf lawyer only to find out that he had robbed her in the past. He and his brother Randy break in making all sorts of noise. What did me in was Randy kicking through a door and yelling at the top of his lungs, "Whoooohooooo, robbin' the deaf." It's the comment combined with the perfect delivery that made me laugh for a good ten minutes. I actually rewound it on my dvr a few times before moving on with watching the rest of the show. To my delight, I found this scene online. I hope it stays there for a while so you can enjoy it whenever you come cross this post.

Something you don't want to do is give a crackhead more crack...

One of the cool features of TiVo is a feature called TiVoToGo which lets you download any shows you have recorded on your TiVo box onto your laptop. Unfortunately, this only worked with Windows-based machines. That is, until now.

I think the only barrier I had from watching television 24 hours a day was the fact that I actually had to go to work, and couldn't justify bringing in a TV into the research lab. I now have free Battlestar Galactica on my iBook to watch at my desk.

This is the end of me.
