Been thinking about how good The Peter Serafinowicz Show was & this is such a good sketch. At least 4 lines from this have made it into the family catchphrase bank (MINI MINCE PIES; Proncess Dyahnah; it's BETTER than a box; SOMEBODY CALL NINE HUNDRED & NINETY NINE) www.youtube.com/watch?v=faM-...

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

While we're at it, can we bring back picking up the phone when I call my children and ex-wife? Also bring back not having all the young kids point and laugh at me whenever I leave my house. Also bring back people laughing at my jokes when I quote Andrew Dice bits. Society is falling apart.

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.
