Ahhh, yes, after a long winters nap, the finger returns. Angry, and full of fingery fury.
This week, The Finger goes to Pam Anderson’s bullshit new sitcom, “Stacked.” See, it’s funny because it’s set in a bookstore stacked with books, and she also has big titties. You say how that works, the tit joke in the title? God, you can see the brilliance behind this intellectual juggernaut. And they got Christopher Lloyd in this thing? What, do they have pictures of him fucking a chimp? How did that happen? “If she takes one more step up that ladder, these won’t be the only buns on display!” Ha-HA! Zinger! I mean, I grew up on sitcoms, they shaped what passes for my sense of humor, and most of the time I can pick out the jokes three or four seconds before they happen (not like I’m Kreskin or anything, but still). I realized a while ago that I watch zero sitcoms now. Have I just grown out of them as none of them could touch something like “Three’s Company” or “The Jeffersons” or “Mel’s Diner” (was “Mel’s Diner” actually “Alice,” and she just worked at Mel’s Diner, where one was often invited to kiss the grits of sassy, redheaded waitresses?), or has the whole thing devolved to this wretched point where things like “Stacked” and “According to Jim” and “Two and a half Men” are what give us our laughs. I mean, there used to be a night of a thousand laughs, not too long ago. Seinfeld, Freinds, Fraiser, that other show.
Who will teach our children to laugh? Or will they just learn about spatter patterns of a dead-man’s semen on CSI & Law & Order & Shirley.
Congrats, Pam Anderson and “Stacked,” you’ve ruined society and you get The Finger.
Culturally elite, I remain…

The show was called Alice and she worked in Mel’s Diner. I loved that show.
Congrats on falling into the world of Harry Potter. Will I be seeing you sitting around with your little wizard pals at midnight June 16th to get the new book. ;)
Kiss my grits!

suggy,
That’s what I figured about that show. As soon as I put “Mel’s Diner,” I knew I was wrong.
As for Harry Potter, no, I won’t be waiting in line on the 16th.
I work in a bookstore. I’ll be reading the copies we’ve gotten in advance by then. ;)

I like your attitude and your passion. Just one thing. Your page would look better if you left two spaces after each period (now called “dots”).
Love, Dad

You bastard, you’ll be getting an advanced copy!!!!!! AUGH!!!!!!!!
So what about that sitcom you wanted to do based on me you and Nate? The single guy, the married guy, and the divorced guy? One of them should have his own novelty T-shirt company. Anyway, if you wanna do it, I’d be happy to lend a hand. I’ve been thinking I want to try writing a script, but I’m just not good with the ideas lately.
Oh, and your dad’s right… the page would look better if you did something about the dots. I can’t read this stupid font.
