It would've been funnier if he left his boss with some Coltrane.

I don't think anyone went to Mall Cop expecting a great movie. It was just a harmless family movie. It wasn't much, but I've seen dozens of movies that were much worse. Just because a movie does well at the box office doesn't mean it's any good.

An apostrophe? I thought it was called a comma-to-the-top.

I've never been to Detroit, but the stereotype of it being nothing but a huge, abandoned ghetto is unfair. Thanks for posting a positive piece.

It's what Kim Jong Il drinks whenever he eats ballpark nachos.

A bumper sticker that says "I'm not a bumper sticker kind of person." Now, that is funny.

So there used to be a canned meat product called Spork. It's too bad it's not around anymore, you could eat Spork with a spork.

This is strictly anecdotal, but from my travels Oklahoma seems to have to the most cities and towns derived from Native American words. Knowing the history of Oklahoma, or at least the little I do, it certainly makes sense.

@Scott: Yes, I was kidding. It's a little thing called humor. Calm down, sparky.

These are the people that aliens should abduct and give thorough examinations.

James Lileks had a funny retort to George Will's column: http://lileks.com/bleat/?p=1908

@voilet: Coltrane quit heroin in 1957 and lived until 1967. Any other examples od his dickdom?

I can think of several artists who aren't/weren't dicks: John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Bill Evans, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, Louis Armstrong, McCoy Tyner...

I'm sure I could come up with more; that's just off the top of my head.

The goofiest look of all is when a guy's pants are so baggy that he has to devote one hand to continuously hold up his pants. When it gets to the point to where you no longer have free use of both of your hands, it's time to wear tighter pants.

This just isn't funny. It's not as if the executives of the power company were going to be locked in a room and forced to count $350 worth of pennies. It's the poor unfortunate workers on the front line who have to deal with this jerk. Be careful, John Almany, karma's a bitch.
