The conspiracy theory I choose to believe (because I made it up) is that there's been a replacement Stephen Fry since 1996. McCartney-style, lads.

Life would have been better never knowing what I'd lost because of these racists. Because this might kill me.

I just decided if the rest of the police department ever looked into Columbo’s personnel files, it would be an empty folder and no one will actually remember when he he actually joined the force.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.
