From Dilbert by Scott Adams...
telemarketer: Hello. May I interest you in long-distance phone service?
PHB: How long is it?
telemarketer: Ummm... It's extremely long.
PHB: I need to know exactly how long it is! If it's too short I'll have to shout the last mile. I hate that.
telemarketer: Okay... It's fifty miles long.
PHB: No, thanks. I don't know anyone fifty miles away.

M. Giant's first recap of The Amazing Race...
"So let's meet the racers, shall we? I'd like to tell you that I've researched them all in advance, or that I deliberately refrained from same as a way to preserve the purity of my viewing experience, but it's a little early to be turning my new digs here into a house of lies. I just never got around to it, is all."

Daniel's recap of Lost...
"'Why do you want to get down there so bad?' asks Kate, and Locke actually has the nerve to correct her grammar with a 'badly'. You know she's killed people, Locke. I'm just saying."

From Darby Conley's Get Fuzzy...
Bucky: So by this point, I'm just tryin' to provoke him, so I said, "Well, someone of your ilk would screw that up, wouldn't they?
Satchel: Wait....someone has milk?
Bucky: What? No, ilk. Ilk! Someone of that ilk.
Satchel: Elk? You talked to an elk?
Bucky: No, ilk, man! There is no elk! I gotta stop hanging out with dogs. Ok.... So now anyhow.... Uh... What was I talking about? Elk? No....
Satchel: I have no idea.
Bucky: I.... I was mad, right?
Satchel: Yeah. Yeah, that sounds right.

Lastly, a grammar lesson from the Fug Girls...
"Natalie Bassingthwaighte here is the host of So You Think You Can Dance Australia, which I really wish was punctuated differently. Say, So You Think You Can Dance: Australia, or So You think You can Dance, Australia? This way, it seems like "Australia" IS the kind of dance you apparently think you can do, like the polka or the hokey-pokey.

I'm Annoyed With Dancing....
Dancing with the Stars, that is.
My annoyance primarily lies with how the judges are treating Warren. I usually enjoy his dances, but I think the judges are waaayyy over-scoring him. He's fun, and he does a pretty good job, but he's not that much better than everyone else.
I'm also frustrated because I think they're treating Warren much differently than they treated Marissa last season. Warren and Marissa are both larger than average people, but Warren seems to get a lot of "Gee, we didn't know a big guy could move so well" comments, and Marissa didn't.
Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but it feels like a double standard to me.

Star Wars
I've seen part of the Family Guy "Star Wars" episode, but I still haven't seen the Robot Chicken version. I found a list online, though, that shows some of the best clips from each.
I think #3 is my favorite, with #5 and #4 coming in 2nd and 3rd for me.
