MadTV got canned

November 30, 2008

Every time I saw that show I had four reactions:

1. This show is still on the air?
2. Is this funny?
3. This is pretty bizarre.
4. Is this funny?

And it lasted 14 years without anyone knowing anyone who watched it.

This is by far my favorite MadTV-related moment:

Yesterday I dropped a cup of water. Just dropped it. Nothing happened, I had it in my hand and then it fell onto the floor and sprayed everything.

Just a second ago, I went to drink some coffee. Poured it all over my pants. Apparently I’ve forgotten where my mouth is located.

Also, even fewer seconds ago, I just wrote out this blog post and there were four words missing. Just didn’t type them, made the sentences hard to read. I might be dying.

I’m kind of both tired of hearing about Lebron and in awe of Lebron right now:

I was trying to get videos of the Chilean author Roberto Bolano, but they’re all in Spanish. Thankfully Youtube has a helpful translation button:

Interview by Cristian Warnken to Bolaño, “with Roberto Bolaño was nervous because I had been warned, even his friends carefully this rooster is terrible, very nasty is going to attack you. I do not think he got all the benefits due.

I have a feeling “rooster” is losing something.
