Best lines (which is all of them) from that great 90s sitcom

How can I not give you a link to a feature on Phil Hartman for NewsRadio Quote Month? It’s for his work on SNL, but it can be applied to NewsRadio. RIP Mr. Hartman. I wish we had more years of you playing characters on the big and the small screens.
Kutiman has made another mashup YouTube video. Like his others, this one is pretty awesome. It’s amazing how this guy can mix things together. If you watch each individual YouTube video, you wouldn’t know how to stitch it into another song. Kutiman does, and he works magic. I can’t wait to hear the rest of these.

I saw this thing on the internet that was a preview of a graphic novel about spooky stories. I believe I saw it on AV Club. The thing is I saw that a while ago and lost track of what the graphic novel was about. I’m still sure I saw it at the AV Club, but I can’t find it there.
You see I like spooky stories. I love ghost stories, haunted houses, getting the creeps, and goosebumps springing up on along the arm. If there’s supernatural things about, I’m there. So a graphic novel with scares is right about my alley.
But I didn’t know who wrote it, because I could not remember anything about that AV Club article. Was it even an AV Club article?
Yet, here we are I found it from a link at Slate.com. It’s by an artist, Emily Carroll, and she’s got plenty of ghastly graphic tales on her site. I want to check them out, then get the book.

I’m only interested in the Apple Watch for figuring out what novel user inputs a developer can do with it. I didn’t really want one until I read this review. Woah. Maybe like the iPhone I’ll wander into the Apple Store and pick one up. Which to choose?
NewsRadio Quote Month is dead.
Long live NewsRadio Quote Month!
Where can you find useless USB dongles? Are they still making them or has the switch to USB 3 made them obsolete? Or has lightening made them obsolete, too?
“Suki desu” LOL! Sawa-chan.
Sawako-sensei is always good fun. Who would’ve known a rocker was hidden in such a kawaii package?

After the birthday luncheon, we wandered over to the National Portrait Gallery. It’s my first time there and I will tell you it’s an overlooked gem of a museum. It’s got a great collection of portraits from the earliest Americans to the most recent generation. It’s also got a wonderful atrium, which is now my iPhone wallpaper.
Currently, they have a display of Union Generals by renowned Civil War photographer, Matthew Brady. They are small prints from the original negatives, and they look like baseball cards. It’s nice to think about what the back of these cards would say: winning percentage – 0.756, rebels killed – 14574, errors – 4.
My favorite is the portrait above of Julia Marlowe, an actress. The relaxed position of her right arm, the look in her eyes, her leaning out toward you is arresting. It stopped me dead in my tracks, and I had to read the caption next to the portrait. That’s the power of art and a uniqueness in portraiture.
It’s a wonderful place to visit if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the museums on the Mall.
Have you seen the new illustrations on the cover of the Harry Potter novels? Of course you have. You’re staring at one now. They are amazing. I already own the set, but after seeing these I want to purchase them again.
