Technical Difficulties

I'm having trouble publishing two new episodes through xtranormal, which is apparently in the midst of a major system upgrade. Please stay in touch -- Brad and Lily will be back soon.

In the meantime, enjoy this cool thing I had nothing to do with (but really like). I forgot Jerry Seinfeld was in this movie.

French Words

Why are the French so protective of their language? True, it is a beautiful language. Are they worried that if it gets watered down with English words, it won't be as useful in seducing tourists?



I'm surprised Brad didn't go with "crescent roll." I had high hopes for this one, but the ending feels weak. C'est la vie. Feel free to leave a comment with your own suggestion for Americanizing a French word used by English speakers.

"So, what do you like to do...aaaaahhhh!...for fun? "

"I like to take long walks on the beeeeeeeeeeeach!"

Optimistic Mamma

This gal has found the key to popularity in her workplace. I wonder if they have an employee policy about this kind of thing.



What guy wouldn't want to raise a child he fathered with the cleaning lady he shared with five other inmates? It's like they all have a one-in-six chance of "winning."

Choose Your Apocalypse

I can go either way on this issue. It's a tough call.



If you're wondering about the eyelash treatment Brad mentions, you can check it out here. The site is full of warnings about being careful where you apply the stuff or else eyelashes will grow where you don't want them. I wouldn't want that anywhere near my eyes. I'd be worried some would get under my eyelid and then eyelashes would grow inside there and I'd walk around always feeling like I had an eyelash in my eye. That's the stuff of nightmares.

Of course, I have long, lush eyelashes, more so than any man needs or deserves, so it's hard for me to imagine the desperation of an eyelash-deprived woman. Maybe this is exactly where medical research dollars should be going. Never mind those unprofitable rare diseases that don't have a celebrity spokesmodel.

Optimistic Mugger

You have to admire this guy's self confidence.



But if you think guys can be delusional in their relationships with the opposite sex, just wait until you see Wednesday's episode.
