Eschew obfuscation !

My motto.

But-but-but ... then there would be no politicians! Think of all the unemployed comedians with no material!

I admit I am a little like John Lennon in some ways.

I do.. I try to "Imagine a world" with no Politicians, comedians, AND no lawyers....

Now you may say I am a dreamer... but I am not the only one... I hope some day you can join us.....

Had a bumper sticker with this for many, many years. Also, "Visualize whirled peas", "My karma ran over my dogma", and "Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos"

I just Googled Blackadder. I was a bit..shocked..at what I found. I must be missing something [&:]

Why shocked? IMO it is among the best British sitcoms ever.

Here is a Blackadder line of strange topicality on both sides of the Atlantic (we currently have primaries for the presidential elections next year here in France):

"I smeared my opponents, bribed the press to be on my side, and threatened to torture the electorate if we lost. I fail to see what more a decent politician could have done."

Did you look at the clips I posted?

The 2nd Blackadder is my favorite, with Miranda Richardson as Queen Bess.

I just about died laughing in the Fawlty Towers episode where Basil (John Cleese) gets so frustrated he starts hopping around like a frog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU3S14x ... K&index=62

No, just Googled the name. I'll poke at the You Tube once I get off work. I KNOW what I found wasn't what you guys are talking about [X(]

Wow, someone hasn't heard of Blackadder! Two of my SO's favorite shows are Blackadder and Absolutely Fabulous. The only Blackadder she doesn't like is Blackadder IV.

At Lecivius' behest I Googled and then Bing'd Blackadder and found out that there is a graphic artist who goes by that name and his cartoons are definitely not family fare ... 'nuf said.

So, Geoff, what happened to that obnoxious fellow who used to tag along with your posts?

Do you mean when I was new at this and did a fair imitation of a troll? I was being held at gunpoint and forced to do it. [X(]

We all are wondering, just how darn hot that Gorn costume really is ? Isn't like the Godzilla costume where the actor passed out due to heat exhaustion is it ?

I'm confused. Why would a Gorn wear a Gorn costume?

Reminds me of Rex Kramer - removing his sunglasses to reveal his...sunglasses [&:]
