Brothers David and Jerry Zucker, along with partner Jim Abrahams, hit it big with the parodies Airplane and The Naked Gun, but first came Kentucky Fried Movie, a collection of comedy skits. Included are the arts spoof "A Fistful of Yen" and the legendary "Catholic School Girls in Trouble." Donald Sutherland, Bill Bixby and George Lazenby (of James Bond fame) lose their inhibitions and discover their funny bones in these irreverent sketches.

I have a favor to ask of all of you. One of our vendors at work is having a little photo contest and I need all of you to go vote for my photo.

The company's logo is a lizard and they send out little plastic lizards whenever they ship an order, so customers like us accumulate herds of lizards that just hang around on our desks. A while back I posted some pictures of my lizards when the cleaning crew took to posing them differently each week. Anyway, the idea behind the contest is to pose your lizards in a fun or unique way and photograph them. Because we work with a lot of old aerial photography, I decided to pose our lizards with our 1966 photo the Empire State Building. Sort of a Godzilla theme.

Anyway, everyone please go vote for my lizards! The URL is below and our photo is in the upper right corner of the page.

Howard, a cigar-chomping extraterrestrial duck, is accidentally beamed to Earth by physicist Dr. Walter Jenning (Jeffrey Jones) and his assistant, Phil Blumburtt (Tim Robbins), in this sci-fi comedy produced by George Lucas. In spite of being a giant bird, Howard soon finds romance with punk-rock singer Beverly Switzler (Lea Thompson). But their happiness is threatened when government officials and a nasty space thug come looking for Howard.

This is too funny. It's bad enough that Rush Limbaugh is just making up random shit again, but I about fell out of my chair laughing when Keith actually called him a "big bag of mashed up jackass" on the air. Almost as priceless as when Whoopie called Glenn Beck a "lying sack of dog mess" to his face on The View.

The fun starts about 30 seconds in and the LOL moment is at 1:27.

Good to know I'm not the only one who ponders these things [link]

It's finally official. There will be an SNL alum in the US Senate. Congrats, Senator Franken! [link]
