Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our ongoing celebration of various forms of Pulp Fiction, here is Jack Webb (before his Dragnet days) as Jeff Regan, in The Man With The Key episode of International Detective Bureau, in 1948 (30:18, Real Player). Here are some of Jeff’s notable lines from tonight’s show:
- It had a tired look, like an old lady who had been moving furniture.
- He looked as happy as a sword swallower with the hiccups.
- I put the key in my pocket, but it felt hot, like a dynamite stick with a short fuse.
- I felt about as popular as a bald-headed chorus girl: nobody made a play.
- I began to feel kind of relieved, like a flag-pole sitter when the wind died down.
- I began to get an uneasy feeling, like a bubble-dancer with a slow leak.
- They found him full of bullet holes: I guess he finally got a cure for that cough.
- I had about as much chance as a violin player with no chin.
- I got kind of nervous, like a hula dancer in a forest fire.
- She was taking everything in, like a Hoover vacuum cleaner on a dirty rug.
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.
Thanks Vitruvius, I certainly knew this would not be new to you. From your site:
In its 50 years, computer disk memory has improved by a factor of 7.154 × 10^24, or 7.154 septillion or 7,154,000,000,000,000,000,000,000..
LOL. While I’m putatively (I think I finally own this word) a “numbers man” (my wife reacting to my cost control lectures!) I have to confess I DO have some trouble when I get more than a couple inches left of the decimal!
I was always puzzled by Churchill’s phrasing, i.e., 1000 millions until I learned (?) that a billion in the UK is a million million, not a thousand million. (?)
maybe the UK never had that much cash? 😉

To be clear, Me No Dhimmi, I did say that that
improvement was somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

The Taliban condemn poison gas attacks on schoolgirls. Sources say that they prefer the more personal acid in the face approach. — Spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said: “We strongly condemn such an act that targeted innocent schoolgirls by poisonous gas.”

No, just irrelevant.
Being a creationist I don’t agree with what he assumes but this is hilarious. He may have been a Liberal but he seen threw this Climate change for what it is. Complete BS.
