High and Low

My brother got me a couple of birthday presents via Amazon: The Young Ones – Every Stoopid Episode & The Broken Estate : Essays on Literature and Belief, by James Wood.

This makes me feel even guiltier about not sending out his (and his family’s) Chanukkah presents yet. No way around it; I’m a heel.

On the plus side, Amy & I got our wedding invites out this week, and the RSVPs have started trickling in. Today’s wedding-related missions: she goes for a fitting/alteration session on the dress, and then we get sized up for our rings, back at the Little King.

    Hey, it’s not like I was getting measured for a c-ring!

  2. Tina,

    That’s a line from The Young Ones you goose!
    Typical – you always have to go for the lowest common denominator. Get out of the gutter – it’s crowded down here!

  3. Gil,

    Unfortunately, I haven’t seen The Young Ones in (choke) 20 years. Which is why I’m glad my bro’ got me the DVD set. I’ll report back.

    I watched the quiz show episode for the first time in 20 years a couple months back, and realized the other team included Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, which is not something I would have picked up in the ninth grade.

  5. Gil,

    I knew that they were in it, for some reason, so I must’ve seen that episode a few years after it was first on MTV.

    First one I saw had Alexei Sayle playing a London policeman… who was Benito Mussolini.
