Recently saw Chris Rock's Netflix special...he tried, but it was just OK. 
Not nearly as good as Chappelle's show a few months back that caused an uproar.

I know. Fantastic, right?! He was great.

One of the comments: 
Met him backstage in Vegas in the early 90s. Very nice. I asked him to insult me. He said, "nope. I only insult people who matter."

Old and used newspapers do a good job on dry(!) stove window-cleaning, sometimes enhanced with some spit on the harder parts to rub with. Buying less Windex and paper towels in the old world.. other than that, you could use a vaccuum-cleaner for the cold dust and ashes, after everything has cooled down.

Sometimes actually reading an instruction manual can be helpful! Interesting to find an easy way to turn the flames in the fireplace up to maximum, and down to minimum.

And then again sometimes it's not helpful ... no guidance on how to clean the unit, like everyday dusting/maintenance. Just info about how to clean the glass if it gets a film on it. Nothing online either. Oh well. Can't win 'em all!

J'accuse...!

It's been ten years. And, you know, this video is kinetic, unique, and hilarious. Some of the shots and edits are brilliant. (You think he's on the beach sunning but it's a playground. And then then typical movie explosion with two guys thrown from their bench a little too late). 

Gangnam Style is posh, and he's not part of that crowd, so it's a fun send up.

Best edit is at 3:14

There's an article about him in todays NYT.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they laid down for the night, and went to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.
“Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”
Watson replied, “I see millions and millions of stars.” “What does that tell you?”
Watson pondered for a minute.
“Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies, and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?”
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. “It tells me that someone has stolen our tent.”

Classic. Brilliant. 
There are a lot of boors in the world.
