Season 1, episode 13 "Lurch Learns to Dance". During the coldest part of the winter I binge watched the first 22 episodes of The Addams Family. What can I say, Carolyn Jones brought the hotness.
A former coworker of mine is friends with John Astin and sees him every year. Mr. Astin is 85 now and still lives in Baltimore, or thereabouts. He was perfect for the role of Gomez.
I'll tell you who isn't perfect for the role of Gomez, Rubio, that's who. He is more of a Cousin It type of guy - covered with hair and spewing gibberish.
That's a sweet clip. And you know what? That there's just great acting.
*whispers* I still love Angelica Houston's characterization. She said she lost weight for the role and never was that narrow again and her dress was so tight she couldn't walk or move. And that's professional dedication! Shhh shhhh your voice got louder.
How's this for grammar? Tell me if this is right. I'm going by the "man, that really sounds wrong" method of knowledge and that's failed me many times.
The sentence goes: " If a rider complains that a driver accelerated too fast and broke too hard, we can review that trip using data."
Should be "braked too hard." Past tense for brake. Broke is past tense for "break". Homonym. Pun.
Look at me, I'm a grammarian. And that's nothing to brag about. The class is still arguing about the plural for noun derived from an adjective. They're used various times, various ways in various situations and it bugs the piss out certain linguists, as a peeve, and since there is a class of students available and some are doing it they start and argument, endure it, every language on earth through history is dragged into the discussion inappropriately and then the person who started it presumes to end it as imperially as she started it off but that failed to stop anything, they're still arguing about it.
Linguistics aromatics Hieroglyphics
For example. These words bug people. It bugs them in their stratosphere among their fellow stratospherians. And then argue about the O34 door bolt about being an S or a Z sound, and stay stuck on this, people who already accept S or Z or Ç for s sibilant sound and accept either C or K for the same sound or accept either voiceless velar stop K or voiceless uvular stop Q for the same sound cannot accept either S or Z sound for door bolt. GAWL!
They cannot accept the great language betrayals they accepted of their native language as children; all the irregulars, and ridiculous silent letters and archaic spelling.

Yeah, Cruz is the whitest white (cuban) guy ever. He makes Nixon look like a "soul brother". But he won Kansas and Maine baby.
Troop: John Kerry already owns the Lurch character. You've just got to find some Al Lewis clip to nail Cruz. Maybe from that cop show.

Hey Troop - right this minute Drudge has a picture of Rubio. It looks as though he is not actually tall enough to play Cousin It.
You should steal that picture - it's a good one.
