Quotable?

Flattery will get you everywhere that bribery won’t.

Money goes through my hands faster than water. Though, with water, my hands are still wet.

I sleep, therefore I am.

My wife does the laundry and I do the dishes, except when I don’t.

Medium, double cream please.

The Number One Podcast in the World, etc.

So, Ricky Gervais, he of The Office and Extras fame, now has the number one podcast in the world. I’ve been listening for the past ten weeks and have done my part in contributing to Karl Pilkington’s new found cult status by submitting funnies and music to the gang.

On the subject of podcasts, check out the hilarious Harmon e. Phraysier shows done for Resonance FM and hope that The Wire’s Adventures in Modern Music shows will be available via podcast soon.
