Sorry, Sean. I was probably dating myself there. God help me, I actually watched that show.

You should probably consider yourself lucky that you never saw it. And I bet our gracious host wishes no one ever did.

lol,
First thing that came to mind when I saw the post title was Bruce Willis and Nakatomi Tower – as in Die Hard films.

I would note, Oliver, that this is the FIRST time I’ve ever invoked Diff’rent Strokes… and only this time because you brought up the name.

If you think you got it bad, I once knew a guy whose last name was Virgin.

I could just imagine how that went. “Hi, I’m a Virgin. I’ll be a Virgin for the rest of my life. This is my sister — she’s going to be a Virgin until she’s married. My mother wasn’t a Virgin, but she became one when she got married.”

I believe Jaytea is (hilariously) referring to this gentleman's career: (Although if I had a dime for everytime somebody asked "whatchu talking about Willis"....)

If I had the money, I’d buy a 4- to 6-story building nearby and rename it the Arnold Building.

OK, not getting it. ??

One of those offices with 2 1/2 acres and an Olympic size desk and nothing else in it, ala Lex? You bet. And a sexy bodyguard.

So, Oliver, gonna put in a wicked-ass techno penthouse suite for your lair? One of those offices with 2 1/2 acres and an Olympic size desk and nothing else in it, ala Lex?

Dennis, how does this translate?:

“The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”

Maybe it’s out of context.

You’re about as accurate with that translation as Hillary’s Russian translator was, Sean D. Martin.

Dennis: Just throwing out some very red meat to see who’d get to it first. Translation: Um, yeah, um I wasn't really saying anything truly stoopid. I meant that ironically. Yeahhh! That's the ticket!" It was a test!

Obama has kept us safe from a terrorist attack for over one month now.

Why aren’t Dennis-type wing-nuts proverbially fellating him yet?

Beyond the fact that he’s black? Because Dennis, student of Grand Comrade Rushbo, doesn’t understand the concept of hypocrisy?

And hey, the stock market is up too. Eagerly awaiting Dennis’ comment about how awesome-sauce it now is to have a Dem president.

Is that your tower in Chicago or are you just happy to see me?

Because of one George W. Bush, I haven’t been eaten by a tiger.
