SnowLarry is just standing there. And that's not even how most people see him. I only have basic cable, but when I do see Larry King on CNN he's sitting behind a desk. And putting SnowLarry behind a desk makes even less sense that putting suspenders on a snowman.

This wasn't directed at me, but I don't see them either. I didn't actually know there WERE ads, till everyone started talking about the Christian singles girl. I think the AdBlock extension on my Firefox must do it? I just opened the page in IE and was surprised how many ads there are! With Firefox, all I see are the ones in the sponsored links section (BlogAds Humor Network, Thought Balloons). I do love Firefox :) <b>#95 True Fable</b> - I don't think Fred Astaire ever played a bad guy...not there usually ARE bad guys in musical romantic comedies. #90 Rainbird – “Do you have something special that blocks even ads that aren’t pop-ups?”

#95 True Fable – I don’t think Fred Astaire ever played a bad guy…not there usually ARE bad guys in musical romantic comedies.

I suppose I was focusing on a biography on him once that said he only played heroes but apparently they forgot the same roles I did. And he was so good in those two, I'm embarrassed I forgot them. My fault! So, does that leave Gary Cooper as the only film actor who's never played a bad guy? John Wayne played a centurion but he got a last-minute pardon from Jeffrey Hunter or something in "The Greatest Story Ever Told" so I wonder if that counts. #59 gleeb and # 60 Pinback – Wow, I had forgotten completely about Ahab and Mengele.
