IF READING THE BLOG, AND COLUMNS ABOUT COLONOSCOPIES, IS NOT ENOUGH...
...soon you'll be able to find out more about Dave's World - in this case, a mythical place where Dave (albeit a much taller version) drives down to the newspaper office to hand over his column, in a manila envelope, to his editor. Who never, btw, not ever, looked like this.
(Thanks to the all-knowing, all-seeing Bert Franquiz)

Colonoscopies? Will Vin Diesel make an appearance?
Posted by: CJrun | March 25, 2008 at 06:29 PM
CJ - I can't put my finger exactly on why, but it's just wrong that you used the words "diesel" and "colonoscopy" in one sentence.

Harry Anderson used to do magic tricks here in Austin on the Drag down by the university in the '70s. I
lavedloved watching him in Night Court and Dave's World. It was a kick when Dave guest-starred in the show about himself. Thanks, judi, for letting us know about the upcoming DVD.Posted by: Just Ducky | March 25, 2008 at 06:52 PM
That used to be my favorite show. I was not happy when it went off the air.
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | March 25, 2008 at 06:53 PM
I had to look it up too, MKJ. I'll NetFlix it.

/OT
Have you blogsters been wiki'ing Dave's Wikipedia entry? I googled "OIYDWYMTTY(NY)G" and it led me to Dave's page, which referred to Beth as his second wife. Now she's listed as his first. Which leads me believe he had a trip to Vegas in the 60s he doesn't want to remember/doesn't want us to know about
*suspicious contemplating*

My first experience at a sitcom writers' table was for Night Court. Wonderful people, constantly topping each other's jokes. D@mn them in the best possible way.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 25, 2008 at 07:06 PM
Holy cow, Annie, did you write for Night Court?
Posted by: Just Ducky | March 25, 2008 at 07:11 PM
My all-time favorite lines from Night Court:
Christine, when it was suggested she'd had "enhancements," pointed at her ample chest and said, "Hey! These are factory originals!"
Mac, completely surprised about something, said, "Well, pinch my toes and call me a jelly doughnut!"

JD - a little. I was petrified and just learning how to pitch lines. In the dog court episode, one of the characters, the lady lawyer, has my maiden name, in a little 'hello' gesture. One of my all-time fave trips was with the NC writers on a the 'Bloody Mary' train ride to Del Mar to bet the ponies. Missed the trifecta by a nose. And hurt my sides laughing at all their jokes there and back.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 25, 2008 at 07:32 PM
*snork* @ crossgirl. This blog at times resembles a writers' table.
D'oh, Dave's blog, a humor blog....

CJ - Cecily and I both missed the tri. She called her dad on the way home complaining about it. He was big into horseracing. Her dad was Don Adams from 'Get Smart.' Sometimes it's a really small world out here.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 25, 2008 at 07:54 PM
Hey, Mot, got your ears on? Please just keep her and feed her to the insects.
Posted by: CJrun | March 25, 2008 at 08:12 PM
Ooo, ooo, did she say "Dad, I missed it by that much!"?
Posted by: CJrun | March 25, 2008 at 08:14 PM
CJ -yes, she did. Did Paris really say 'West Africa is a great country?' You're right - no backs. Keep her, Mot.

Ok, I am happy for Dave that this show is on DVD, but gotta say, I thought the Mrs. in the show was pretty hot. So I am doubly happy. At least.
Posted by: bill hudgins | March 25, 2008 at 09:21 PM

Texgal, I just got a laptop in January and I bought a mouse too. I'm just not coordinated enough to use that square thingy.
Posted by: Eleanor | March 25, 2008 at 09:42 PM
bill - the real Mrs. Blog is way hawt, less bimbo. Honest.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 25, 2008 at 09:48 PM
Way hawt, less bimbo? That sounds like a Barbra Streisand version of a Miller Lite commercial.
Posted by: jug | March 25, 2008 at 09:52 PM
Note to Annie: CNN video links sucketh; they appear to rotate quickly away from whatever. I just got to watch Mahdi losers dancing about and it wasn't Dancing With The Stars.
Other Gals: Make yourself try, at least half the time, using the Track Pad (square thingy). I have mouses and a great Track Ball, but use nothing besides the Track Pad now; it rocks, once you get used to it. I hate when I'm helping somebody else with their computer and I have to revert back to a cluncky, sloppy mouse.
Posted by: CJrun | March 25, 2008 at 09:53 PM
I'm with you, CJ. I had a mouse, but chucked it. Love my laptop.
Posted by: baligurl | March 25, 2008 at 09:57 PM
Track pads rock!
Posted by: jug | March 25, 2008 at 10:02 PM
wireless trackball for me, CJ. Just HATE the touchpad.

Diva, it's all about progress.
Butt, in a good way. Some progress has a suck factor so extreme as to invite surrender.
Posted by: CJrun | March 25, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Okay, then. Stance on pizza? BIG fan of the thin crust, bacon chheseburger from Pizza Hut.
Posted by: baligurl | March 25, 2008 at 10:10 PM
*zaps back for a moment*
Having met Mrs. Blog many times, I will have to agree with Annie. She is way hawt, and I say this with total confidence in my femininity. She is also smart and a brilliant sports writer person. Dave is one lucky man!
*zaps out again*
Posted by: Siouxie | March 25, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Well, bali, that depends on the circumstances. Thin crust is good, but the beer needs to be very cold to really appreciate it.
If the beer isn't extra icy cold, then medium crust is better.
And if the service is slow, or the keg ran dry, its time to switch gears and go for Mexican or a steak
Posted by: jug | March 25, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Star Pizza in the Houston Montrose (think San Francisco Castro area) -- anything they serve.
Posted by: Texgal | March 25, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Steak: sirloin, medium rare, my cows, my grill. Right there with ya on the beer factor.
Posted by: baligurl | March 25, 2008 at 10:15 PM
There is a place across the street from me that sells it by the slice. $2.50/slice. Very handy to have on those nights when you don't feel like cooking or had to take the later flight home. Cheap, and good, but the crust isn't thin so bali might not like it.
Posted by: jug | March 25, 2008 at 10:16 PM
I can do medium crust if there isn't too much sauce. And I adore white pizza, do they have that, Jug?
Posted by: baligurl | March 25, 2008 at 10:18 PM
That's the ticket Bali. Put some cracked peppers on it, fire up the Weber and then you know that is exactly what God had in mind when he invented charcoal.
Posted by: jug | March 25, 2008 at 10:19 PM
Steaks -- so rare they still might be walking.

Posted by: Texgal | March 25, 2008 at 10:20 PM
bali - I'm coming down for steak one of these nights! You like it like I do. :D
Pizza - A few choices: Chicago-style stuffed pizza (2 crusts); thin pizza margherita with hot oil; and Quattro's meat lovers with spinach in Carbondale, IL. DIVINE.
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 10:20 PM
You want 'em walkin' on two legs, Tex?
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 10:21 PM
This place isn't a heavy sauce place. I'll ask about the white pizza next time I go. The folks behind the counter aren't too sophisticated. I may get "No sir, we cook 'em first" as an answer.

Posted by: jug | March 25, 2008 at 10:23 PM
1)thin crust
2)like playing with the ball (I use touch pad on the computer)
3)
Posted by: Jazzzz | March 25, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Steak: rare enough, a good vet could bring'em back.
The white sauce is alfredo. Add grilled chicken, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes and bacon...heaven.
'Scuse me a minute.

Jug, so it was overcooked??? (by my standards)
Posted by: Texgal | March 25, 2008 at 10:27 PM
bali - steak does not make a good Bob. Or so I've been told....
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 10:29 PM
Tex, tartare is more your style, I think.
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 10:32 PM
A steak simul with bali. That calls for a martini.
Posted by: jug | March 25, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Steak is pretty good cooked on a sharp stick with veggies. No place to put the batteries though.
Posted by: Texgal | March 25, 2008 at 10:33 PM

jug, I'd pay money to see that! :D One martini, comin' up! (I'm the girl in the glass - NOT!) ;D
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Everyday, Tex. Everyday.
Posted by: baligurl | March 25, 2008 at 10:39 PM
You got it bali. Blue cheese stuffed olives?
Posted by: jug | March 25, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Um, that would be one martini! Sheesh.
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Yes, please, Jug.
Hey, Diva, how'd you get my Christmas card photo?
(and that explains the scuba...)
Posted by: baligurl | March 25, 2008 at 10:42 PM
You would pay to see me blush Diva? That's good cause I could use the extra cash for a down payment on a new car.
We are talking big bucks here, right?
Posted by: jug | March 25, 2008 at 10:43 PM
Wow, bali - that's some scuba gear!
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 10:44 PM
I think Diva must have been doing some B&E when you weren't looking bali.

Elebenty O'Clock racin' at me and you guys are talkin' pizza (whatever, anchovies please) and steaks (black on the outside, pink inside, just like my heart). Not fair! Too late for me to even glance at the kitchen! No! Don't you dare go in there....
[good thing I have the last Thin Mints on the coffee table]
Posted by: CJrun | March 25, 2008 at 10:50 PM
Bali you would have loved this shop I saw in New Hope PA over the weekend. They had a 6' tall wooden carved mermaid among other things (including a very tiny dress and heels on a male mannequin, but that's a different story)
Posted by: jug | March 25, 2008 at 10:52 PM
CJ, those dang Keebler Elves make Grasshopper cookies, just the same as Thin Mints. Sorry...
