A Confederacy of Dunces (201?)

[Madeleine Maudlin]

I was passing by this with mild interest unfortunately because it's one of
those books always wanted to read but never managed more than 50 or so
pages.

Then I saw Galifunniakickas is doing it?  I love that guy!  But seeing how
moviegoers are about 187 pounds heavier today than they were in the early
80s, they'll appreciate a little heft in their hero?

So I clicked on the Monlink and somebody from Flight of the Conchords is
making it?  Can't go wrong there, can you.  As the best part of the show,
the manager, would say.

Speaking of great sitcoms of the last ten years.  I just glanced at the
Times today, who is this J.Zinoman wanker, where'd he come from,
WeekendArts, calling 30 Rock the best sitcom of the last ten years?  That's
not an argument, it's an insult.  *House* is a better comedy than 30 Rock.
