Shaggy Dog and Current Events

My brother, Happy Will, just e-mailed me knocking Shaggy Dog, the new Tim Allen comedy, and frankly, I was surprised with the negative message he was happy to convey.

I e-mailed him saying, "Happy Will, I really think you got Shaggy Dog wrong."

He said, "Cheddar, the fact that you are looking forward to seeing that indicates just how out of touch you have become with reality."

Obviously I became defensive and responded, "Happy Will, I think your sentence, which is apropos a film called Shaggy Dog, might indicate that it is you, not me, who is out of touch with reality."

But to be perfectly honest, I am the one who is out of touch with reality. I have literally no knowledge of current events, and Happy Will, working in the news rooms of ABC might have the best grasp of current events in the entire world, even more than Walter Kronkite!

My idea of current events is an update on Gritz's blog!

"Hey Cheddar Ted, what do you think about what's going on in Turkey!?"

"It's all gravy, bro."

"Do you think Iran should have nuclear weapons?"

"I don't think so."

Hey Cheddar Ted, what's your opinion on the Farnsworth Reading Room? As Lamont is your passion, maybe this question is easier to answer.

Hmm, hmm, I beg to differ A. Nonymous:

"After he explained the logistics we decided to let off steam by going outside, covering our shoes in Purell Hand Sanitizer, and lighting them on fire."

Shoes on fire?! It doesn't get much more current than that.
