911!

For example - there is a scene in the opening credits in which the inept cops are trying to corral a man outside his trailer home. The man, a mulletted, shirtless dirtbag, is howling and blindly staggering around, a metal Lawn Dart embedded in the front of his skull. To me, there is nothing funnier than Lawn Darts; in fact, all you have to do is say the words Lawn Darts, and no matter what kind of mood I am in, I will start giggling. Why any company thought that that toy was a good idea in this country of drunken, litigious idiots is beyond me. And by the way, please check out the Wikipedia entry, where some Lawn Dart apologist claims that the toy, when used responsibly and according to directions, is no more dangerous than a game of basketball, and that ‘almost all’ fatalities involving lawn darts are alcohol related. Indeed, how tragic and unfair that the nanny state will deny future generations the pleasure and joy of Lawn Darts and the subsequent emergency room visits. There was actually a Lawn Dart question on Jeopardy the other night, something along the lines of “Ronald Reagan signed a law banning the sale of this toy on December 19, 1988.” As all three contestants stared blankly, I (and every other redneck Jeopardy fan across America) screamed at the television, “LAWNDARTS! LAWNDARTS, YEW MORONS!” None of the contestants got it, and I was completely disgusted.

hi foxy
just prior to your jeopardy-referencing post, i was reading the blog of jeopardy champ ken jennings. you might get a kick out of it. he uses his site to manage his brand and promote his book that is coming out and that you'll probably encounter, but in the process of all that, he has some pretty funny/sharp things to say. ken-jennings.com

I think I have discovered the addictive charm of your blog. I have just realized your blog follows the same pattern of an episode of The Simpsons. The Simpsons always starts with an innocious plot, something like The family goes out to the movies. Somewhere in the first 10 minutes something completely different happens that makes you forget the initial plot, like Homer abandons their house to escape a duel-happy southerner and ends up growing a tomato/tobacco cross to which everyone becomes addicted.
I bow to your greatness.

my favorite food critic, dan leone, of the guardian, used to be in a band (Ed's Redeeming Qualities) that has a song about Lawn Darts. you might enjoy it.
Oh, and I'm getting married...
