Basil the Rat was the best episode in my opinion.

My favorite Fawlty Towers episode was...oh, bilge, I can't remember the title...the one about the ducks.

I've stayed in Torquay, where that's set, and it was lovely.

Hmmm...
More proof that coincidence does not exist:
Julian Cope spent an idyllic summer in Torquay as a teenage hippie working a summer job at a hotel there.

LOL Hola, Manuel. "Is that how they talk in Calcutta?" That line I just quoted from the racist old b*tch hotel guest never fails to at least get me to giggle. They don't do genuinely biting satire (as opposed to bald-faced racism, sexism, and homophobia all claiming to be satire) any more.

Sadly, too many people couldn't recognize satire even if it bit them on the nose

Satire bit me on the nose once. Boy, did it smart!

Satire prefers to nibble gently rather than to gnaw hard.

I prefer a soft gingerbread cake to the hard gingerbread cookies. Warm with lots of whipped cream

I'm supposed to meet mr_cleome for Happy Hour with his co-workers at some bar later on today. If I'm lucky enough to find hot chocolate on the menu, I'll get it. In weather like this, I won't be too proud even if it's the stuff from a foil packet.

It's also pretty gloomy outside now. But no fall colors or fall scents here, alas.

We don't really get that kind of fall here, either. We are supposed to have some lovely weather ahead in the next week, which is good.

I wish the rain here would come without the humidity. Sometimes it is just so sticky.

We're still deep in summer weather here (mostly high 70's/low 80's F).

J'adore the way Michael Hutchence sings "There's something about you, girl...that makes me *sweat*", in this song, especially the first time, when his voice drops to a whisper halfway through (circa 1:20-1:25):

Until I finally heard someone say INXS out loud, I thought they were "inks."
