Four cool things

A'ight, I've been saving up cool things since last night. Because they are all non sequiturs, I shall post them separately.

I had first titled this post "Three cool things" but then I thought of a fourth, so I changed it to "Four cool things" and wondered if anyone, back in the day, ever did expect the Spanish Inquisition.

The first cool thing actually falls under the Funundrum Recommends category. Today Funundrum would like to highly recommend an excellent new show on FX called The Riches. It stars my favorite comedian and yours, Eddie Izzard, as well as Minnie Driver, as two Travellers plus their three kids who fall into a situation wherein they impersonate rich people living in a posh Louisiana country club.

It kind of sounds retarded on paper, but if you've ever seen even five minutes of the Izzard, you'll understand what a great setup this is for him. He gets to live the American dream, which in his words has always been "to get all the money in the world, and stick it in your ears, and go TTHHHBBBBBTTTTHTTT." And that's pretty much what this is. We were captivated. Monday was the pilot -- we only saw it today because Tivo is our slave. They'll be showing it again later this week, I daresay, and then every Monday night. Please, do yourself a favor and check it out. Even if it runs opposite Smallville. Because, dude, he's never going to start flying so why bother watching?
