You mean SLOTH day, Kamesy. SLOTH day. How long will the tyranny of socialized R&R destroy our magnificent nation? I just heard that Satan actually encouraged his minions to take naps and play with their kids. The evil bastard.
As usual, I did the right thing and told my angels over my morning pedicure that if anyone slacked off today, I'd cut off their vision and dental. But then Archangel Michael reminded me that I had already done that to everyone last Sloth Day because I was totally coked out of my mind and it seemed like a great way to fuck with those nerds. So, I'll be reinstating my angels' vision and dental later this evening just so I can cut them again tomorrow morning. Fighting communism is a 24/7 job.
@Banjo-Sea Kitten: Vague recollection of the days when the telethon was an almost all-New York affair, Jerry was happy to break into 7 figures and every $5 donation seemed so important.
@snugbug: Ha. They were epic. I'll be around. If anything breaks, I'm sure I'll be on it, too. But yes! We can play here. Maybe Ian'll join us, who knows.
Definitely Roman Holiday, in which a leader with too much responsibility back home falls for a journalist in a romantic setting and considers chucking it all, but instead returns to a life of country and duty.
Maybe he was thinking of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, which was released in the UK as National Lampoon's Winter Holiday. This whole affair turned out about as good as anything Clark Griswold ever attempted.
@MisterHippity: It was definitely Half-Wits Holiday (1947). Only a moron would think taking a state jet to get a $10 haircut was "fiscally conservative." In fairness, I should mention he is extremely fiscally conservative with the Poors. He offered to pray for people whose unemployment benefits were running out. Sweet. It probably would've worked if he didn't make Jesus so angry by shtupping someone other than his wife. #maureendowd
If Sanford really was referring this film, he's an even bigger bigger hypocrite than I thought. In Sanford's shoes, the Cary Grant character in Holiday would have said, in the end: "The hell with this "political image" crap - I'm gonna follow my heart!"
Also, unlike Sandford, the Cary Grant character wasn't married yet and didn't have any kids.
@MisterHippity: I was especially fond of "Holiday" because the Hepburn character's brother had the same first name as I do, and I could totally relate to him. I was like, "That's me! That's the tragedy of my life, right there on film!"
Regarding Gawker's previous post about the needing to go to college, this is what going to college hath wrought on the world: Maureen Dowd. I would pay 5 grand to watch this pompous hack clean toilets at a truck stop. She exemplifies the absolute worst of a liberal arts education. Had she gotten a degree in science or engineering, she would have at least learned to STFU before spewing obscure bs.

Ah, what memories --those wee hours of the telethon when Jerry would start to get extra crazed and cocky.

Of course, Mark Sanford is no Audrey Hepburn.

It was pure "poetry of the penis."

In my dreams, Katherine Hepburn sometimes visits me and says, "Oh, Neddy!"
That was probably TMI, huh? Sorry.
