I always love your metaphors for color, but these are particularly lovely for the hard-soft (cast iron & porcelain vs. the silky tie) contrast. So even when BW's tie is not a <I>Tie de Force</I>, the Tie Report more than makes up for it. And let's face it, Nance: it's always easier to wax humorous when it's a crappy or mediocre tie, LOL.

Of the few that I really liked were re-runs of <I>Seinfeld</I>, and also <I>Frasier</I> & <I>Third Rock from the Sun</I>. Most of the other sit-coms were filled with characters with no personalities, all shouting out banal one-liners, like so many stand-up comics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-38751955840569936182007-06-28T10:41:00.000-04:002007-06-28T10:41:00.000-04:00Ortizzle--are you a "Seinfeld" watcher?
