Stephen Colbert said that on May 16 after the BBT finale, the cast will be on The Late Show.

He's getting a sex change and a red hair transplant, and we'll see him in the finale. I'd prefer Allison Janney though.

Operation Smile

Sounds of a Glass Armonica

Exactly. I would have enjoyed this more if I understood Moclan genders. Apparently we are supposed to equate "male" with those who toe the Moclan line, and "female" with those who do not, but that comparison does not fit well.

Why isn't there a forum for Masterpiece, with subfora for short-running shows, as we had before?

"A Jury of Her Peers" is a good story IMO.

It might be more more realistic if someone told Shamy et al. that they might be considered for a Nobel in 10 or 20 years if their work is well confirmed. The Nobel Foundation would be wise to be cautious about not awarding prizes too soon. For example, the originator of the frontal lobotomy shared the medicine prize in 1949, but there have been calls for the foundation to rescind the prize.

Les Nessman, is that you? https://oddstuffmagazine.com/funny-pictures-april-7-2019.html/lizzard-warning

If you have that ticket, maybe you need this card.

Probably there are two kinds of astronauts: those who admit they are frightened, and those who don't.

Depends on the phase of the moon. Maybe on a Tuesday if it's dark [Star Trek reference].

Please say hello to the Piasa Bird for me.

What happened to Genealogy Roadshow? That explored ancestry for non-celebrities, and many of the stories were fascinating.

Suppose Henry Louis Gates had Kevin on his "Finding Your Roots" show. What might they find about Kevin's past and ancestry?

Now that Bess is resigning, will Henry keep his job at the White House or run her campaign? Silly me, he'll do both. And maybe be her running mate too. Speaking of NGOs, I hope Nadine is running one now, and comes to DC for a meeting some time.

Groucho Marx died three days after Elvis Presley. Some people suspect that Elvis is now Groucho's driver, and Groucho sends Elvis into stores to buy cigars, which is why Elvis is sometimes seen but Groucho is not.

Here, when a blizzard is on its way, many hospital employees go in early, planning to spend several days working there if necessary. For example, a real-world "Raptor" might go in before the snow begins. The news sometimes shows rooms full of cots and truckloads of supplies. Many medical dramas have blizzard episodes but I don't recall seeing much about the preparations. Of course there is more drama if they don't prepare. [/snark]

A better cup of coffee than Stuart can usually afford might make a difference to him. Or he might buy some art supplies ...

Didn't Stuart already find it? I think he said he was going to clear it and then sell the thumb drive for a few bucks. Thank you, I forgot that. OK, suppose he never got around to clearing it, finds it again, checks it, and finds the Bitcoin, which I hope would be worth enough to make a difference to him.
