The Pitch: It's like Larry King Live meets Memento!  

I was watching the TV while sorting comics yesterday, and caught an old sketch of Norm MacDonald playing Larry King at (I think) his wedding reception. It was basically a chance for everyone to turn in a celebrity impression (Cheri Oteri playing Fran Drescher, Dana Carvey playing Ross Perot, Mango playing Al Pacino), but it was the Larry King part that made me laugh. King couldn't actually converse with anyone in any meaningful way. All he could do was give opinions on products. "If you see only one movie this year," he'd intone, "make it Grumpy Old Men! Between Tylenol Tablets and Tylenol Gelcaps, I prefer...Tylenol Tablets!"

I had a pretty good laugh until I realized that's basically my blog. I wanted to actually write about something at the moment, but now work is waving itself in my face. People are litterally walking up behind me with work in their hands and saying, "Hey, Jeff. Working on anything?" Of course, I could've tried writing something in the first few hours when nothing was happening, but I was enjoying watching my emails disappear and my webmail crash out, I felt compelled to keep doing that. Oh, well. And Blogger is acting funky, too. I swear to god, somebody's cast a cyber-voodoo curse on me...

So I'm afraid I have no choice but to leave you with these words of wisdom: Between Tylenol Tablets and Tylenol Gelcaps, I prefer...Tylenol Gelcaps!
