During dinner yesterday, I saw an older "Rhymes With Orange" comic strip featuring cows. One of the cows was holding a pitcher of milk and a plate of cookies. One of the other cows looks at her and says "Are you trying to one-up us?" This comic reminded me of one of the "zingers" Paul Lynde made on Hollywood Squares:

Peter Marshall: What are "dual purpose" cattle good for that other cattle aren't?
Paul Lynde: They give milk and cookies...but I don't recommend the cookies!

I was planning to go to a furry party tonight, but I don't really feel like going out. I'll listen to BigBlueFox's stream and take part in Steelwoulfe's game night instead.

Current Mood: bouncy
Current Music: Billy Ocean - "Nights (Feel Like Gettin' Down)"

I was hoping to listen to an online recording of Paul Harris' radio interview with comedian Robert Schimmel. Unfortunately, the link is broken. Some of Harris' other interviews are available, but I really wanted to hear the Schimmel one because he talks about his appearance on "Hollywood Squares" during its early-2000s run. He said the producers kept stopping the taping because of responses like this:

HOST: If you are reaching for your mashy or your niblet, what are you doing?
ROBERT SCHIMMEL: Playing Twister with Louie Anderson.

He didn't realize that "Family Feud" (which Anderson hosted at the time) taped in a nearby studio!

EDIT: Here's a stand-up video where he talks about his "Squares" experience:
