I'm still waiting for my Thinc Phonebook - hope it has the new landmark expansion system in it.

It's sure not as fictional as voter registration lists.
The sad thing is, I'm not kidding.

I shall teach you the ways of google, young one.

"The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need! My name in print! That really makes somebody! Things are going to start happening to me now.

First I get my name in the phone book and now I'm on your ass. You know, I'll bet more people see that than the phone book.

I know we've only known each other 4 weeks and 3 days, but to me it seems like 9 weeks and 5 days. " http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079367/

That is from the Jerk. I'm talking about during their stand-up act.

And for some reason Google is being very slow for me tonight :(

Rebooting my server has fixed my internet slowness :)

Using google produces:

"As a stand-up comedian on "The Tonight Show", Martin was demoted to guest-host nights for a while because Johnny Carson didn't think his act -- which could include reading from the phone book or telling jokes to four dogs onstage -- was funny."

Do you think they're going to wait 20 years to start filming the prequel?
