Kasey Kasem death dedication rant.
“See, when you come out of those up-tempo goddamn numbers, man, it’s impossible to make those transitions, and then you gotta go into somebody dying ,” he said.
“You know, they do this to me all the time,” he continues. “I don’t know what the hell they do it for, but goddammit, if we can’t come out of a slow record, I don’t understand. Is Don on the phone? OK. I want a goddamn concerted effort to come out of a record that isn’t a fuckin’ up-tempo record every time I do a goddamn death dedication … I want somebody to use his fuckin’ brain to not come out of a goddamn record that is, uh, that’s up-tempo, and I gotta talk about a fuckin’ dog dying .”

Mark Watney had more variety to his diet than that.

No, it’s a potato with three sides of potatoes.
(It’s one of Chris Shapan’s parody ads, in case anyone is confused.)

So it is. Mistook the mashed ones for a dollop of sour cream. Makes more sense now that I know it’s satire.

He gets along with the crew, but the lazy and incompetent writer of the promo was lucky he wasn’t on set.

Keep an eye on the Happy Mutants’ Food thread over the weekend.

The shake only makes sense to me on a Sunday with the free drumming!
