Yes, I realize it’s pronounced “boat.” Â But these are size 13, so that’s not far off. Â Plus, I was using them to keep up above the water on this rainy day.

A little homage to my good pal “@thelonelypie,” who was our guest this evening.  Always a pleasure, sir.

Today at work, I spent a few minutes in the TV studio making some HD dubs. Â Not far from those machines is this almost-forgotten beast from back before I was born. (Sorry, Jon Hicks, if you’re reading this!)

…but this is what stores my LEGO. Â Growing up, we had a couple of tackle boxes like these packed with bricks. Â My brother hung onto those, so I finally got around to buying a couple myself for the LEGO I have. Â And yes, I know it’s a little reminiscent of “Gene, The Anal Retentive Carpenter” — but hey, it beats shoving it all in a giant trashbag (ahem, childhood Kelly).
What’s that? Â You don’t remember that classic Phil Hartman bit? Â Well, here for a limited time is one of the related sketches. Enjoy.

Found this little guy in a bag of old LEGO that my wife brought into the family. Â He interfaces with LEGO, but he doesn’t look like quite at home. Â I’m thinking he’s a cunning imposter. Â Probably something like “LEQO” brand. Â Kinda like those running shoes I once saw at an Israeli street market — they had all the hottest brands, including Nyke, Adibas and Reobok.

Fifty days ago, I launched an ingenious plan to encourage increased local baked goods production. Â I’m pleased to report that it’s been immensely successful. Â So today, I enacted phase two: Operation Transcendently Fluffy Sifted Ingredients. Â Yes, I’m working on a less cumbersome name.

Not much to say about this one — it’s  your pretty basic, garden-variety sketch.  It’s a little bit…you might say…wait for it…old…hat.
Sorry.

Ah, yachting — a pastime that combines three of my very favorite things: pretension, motion sickness and Sperry Topsiders.
