Useful Frasier
Nick S Bensema
that occurred during Shelley Long's reign in "Cheers" that occur way
too often; mostly argument patterns between Diane and Sam, sometimes
enacted by other characters when the writers' formula book is
especially thin.
About a second after that, I thought, MAYBE... just MAYBE it's because
I'm so young that I grew up on Cheers reruns and not the show itself.
By the time I discovered the show, Kirstie Alley was already on it,
and her character was already beginning to flake out. Maybe I just
think the escalating-argument-into-kiss transition occurred way too
often because I just saw that one rerun five times.
Then I realized, after another four seconds, that the
escalating-argument-into-kiss transition occurred in "Frasier" as
well, between Frasier and some public relations chyq. And perhaps
I could identify which scenes are cliches and patterns and which
scenes are just really memorable, by whether they repeated themselves
in "Frasier".
Then I decided it was interesting enough to post.
But considering I thought all this stuff up in under a minute, don't
attribute it to me having "too much time on my hands". The post
probably took less than five minutes to write, but would have been
lost forever if I had thought of all that up there at work.
Now I'm off to techies.com.

Hey that's NOTHING! Yesterday as I was boarding a train to come back
from Liverpool, I saw an ad for Mary Reich's latest book "Death du Jour"
("From the writer of 'Deja Dead'!").
Now I noted the trend (common English phrase derived from the French
plus hint of mortality), and quickly came to the conclusion that her
next book would be named "Croissant of DEATH" or "Voulez-vous coucher
avec DEATH!".
I dismissed the thought as a mere throwaway, since I couldn't justify
writing a whole new post with just the above as a punchline, and there
were no current threads on ARK (pronounced AY-ARR-KAY by the
cognoscenti) in which the anecdote would be appropriate.
But then I decided that since I had nothing really useful, funny
or interesting to add to Nick's rather poignant post, I'd use this
leftover thought as a followup, which I would conclude with a .sig and a
nifty followup-buster.

Welcome to Liverpoo. <-- THIS JOKE IS BROKEN.
Note there is no Reich in it, and thank an American veteran. <-- FIXED!
HA! I say HA! You said not to post a joke about Liverpool OR Mary Reich's
last name, so I posted a joke about Liverpool AND Mary Reich's last name,
plus I dropped a ref to the villainess on Syd & Marty Krafft-Ebing's show
'H.R. Haldemanstuf', plus I ended the thread forever by mentioning Nazis,
see? The ghost of George Boole wins AGAIN!

Rad. So my post wasn't entirely useless after all! Though it was

No no no. She's just misspelling "Darth".

Actually, HM "H.R. Puffingiger".
I really liked H.R. Puffinstuff when he played with Black Uhuru. His

Dang it. What happened to my post here?
It had all kinds of neat laundry list nonhumor like "Je ne sais Death"
and "Le Recherche de Temps Death" and "Coq au Death". But it wasn't
really good enough to reconstruct, much like Georgia.

Also, there was a clever joke linking the "liver" in Liverpool
to foie gras, except of course it was "Foie DEATH", and how
Kathy (not Mary) Reich would last a thousand years, except it
was actually funny and not stupid.
It did not, however, use the "you said 'OR', not 'AND'" loophole
that Motis did.
