Tuesday Afternoon

Here are some of the highlights of last night's Arrested Development.  If you don't watch this show, you are not living life to the fullest.

Lindsay: How do you think I feel? Bob Loblaw’s a handsome, professional man and I’m only used to... well, none of those things.

Tobias: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over— an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first anal-rapist.

Lindsay: Yes, and you were almost arrested for those business cards.

Tobias: Yes. No, it did not look good on paper but I didn’t stop because of the police inquiries, I stopped to raise our little daughter...

---

Michael: That’s a great idea. Honor Buster tomorrow night. We’ll get the whole family over to the penthouse, show him our support.

Lucille: Well, I suppose it’s better than drinking alone. What time?

---

Buster: Well, Mom’s probably right. I couldn’t even stand up to a seal. I don’t real deserve a medal or a party.

Tobias: No, you deserve this. Here, take my business card.

Buster: Gah!

Tobias: No, no, it’s pronounced a-nal-ra-pist.

Buster: It wasn’t really the pronunciation that bothered me.

Tobias: You see, Buster, it wasn’t the seal that you couldn’t stand up to. It was... Lucille.

Buster: (Gasps.)

Tobias: (Gasps.) Oh, I’m getting chills. If this was a Lifetime Moment of Truth movie, this would be our act break.

LONG SILENCE...

Narrator: But it wasn’t.

Lucille: What’s a Forget-Me-Now?

G.O.B.: They’re pills that create a sort of temporary forgettingness. So if somebody finds out how you doa trick, you just give ’em one of these, and they forget the whole thing. It’s a mainstay of the magician’s toolkit, like how clowns always have a rag soaked in ether.

Tobias: G.O.B., this is Flunitrazepam. It’s a roofie.

Lucille: Those are illegal.

G.O.B.: Shut up, Mom. Don’t make me give you another one of these.

---

Maeby: No, George Michael, we didn’t do anything. I just wanted him to think we did. Don’t you see? I drugged him not to go all the way with him.

George Michael: Well, I think even the anti-drug people are going to be okay with that.

Four consecutive winning weeks picking football.  I'm really starting to get nervous that it's all going to fall apart soon.  I was 9-5 this week and my overall record is 36-23, 4 games in first place.  In fact, if we had never added my wife, daughter and sister-in-law over the years, I would be winning by 9.  But like my mom said, all the extra people makes the pot bigger.

    Okay, I got all the regular stuff out of the way, so now it's time to talk about....nothing.  I got nothing.  Just sitting here counting the business days until my book gets here.  :-)
