We were watching Jeopardy! recently, and there was a guy with an EXTREME Elmer Fudd accent - way worse than the woman in that video, which I've seen. I cracked up every time he spoke, and John just shook his head at what a bad person I am. I don't know how Alex and the other contestants didn't crack up. I would have had to ask for a different slot, myself, since I wouldn't be able to hold it in.

when i got called for jury duty up here in middlesex county, a woman in my jury pool told me that they've had the same juror instruction video since she first got called to jury duty in the '70s.

In Los Angeles, there are immigrants from Argentina who consider themselves Italian. Perhaps the restaurant is run by Brazilians who consider themselves Italian?

I'm doing a story on a group of Germans from Russia. It's a fascinating little chunk of history.

World War Z is awesome, I agree. Max Brooks has obviously given a great deal of thought to that whole pesky Zombie situation. (see also: his Zombie Survival Manual) I've heard that the audio version is even better and that each different chapter is voiced by various pals of his dad.

Yes, but far too abridged. Alan Alda is particularly good, Rob Reiner, particularly bad. I had a friend at work who had the very logical criteria for a boyfriend. She would ask herself "Is this the person I would want to be with during a zombie infestation?"

So, someone who owned a broadsword, shotgun, pickup, and 500 gallons of gas?
