But if she had the yarn, she could be knitting up a storm while the cats maul someone else.

Lemme know when to start looking out for it, Ali.
And yes, xoB, but: a) I have plenty of other knitting to be getting on with and b) my cats know better than to mess with my knitting!

It's interesting how tastes in humor change. I remember when Chevy Chase was very funny. I don't think his style of humor ever changed, but one day it just wasn't remotely funny anymore. There was a hint of its impending failure in Modern Problems above, in 1981, but it wasn't obvious until Spies Like Us and Three Amigos in 1985-86.
I think his last really funny movie was Fletch, 1985. Edit: And remember his talk show? It was terrible. Almost as bad as the other short lived one that Charles Grodin had. |

He confused me in Paul Simon's Call Me Al video.
It was rare to see videos in those days, and I never got to see album covers (my Dad taped most of them for me.) So for quite I while I thought he was Paul Simon. And when I found out he wasn't I was even more confused. Tcha.

It's got to be an age thing, because I was reading your post, nodding along and thinking, "Yeah, Chevy Chase hasn't been funny since he peaked with 'Spies Like Us'... hey wait!" I know better than to go back and watch it again with my old fuddy-duddy sensibilities, though. I'm just going to leave those good memories right where they are.

He was funny (again) in Community, although he didn't "get" the show, didn't think it was funny, so he bad-mouthed it all over the place, and eventually he quit. Go figure. First funny thing he's done in years, and he hated doing it. I guess...he doesn't like being funny anymore...?
Modern Problems was a great Dabney Coleman movie.

From what I've read of him IRL he doesn't seem to have a sense of humor at all.
