Dental Implants, Bruce Greenwood and Amanda Knox Knock-Knock Jokes
After a long day spent staring at Twitter, we're sharing our favorite tweets that made no sense.
We respect and value the social media editors who share the links that make our job easier. But sometimes, we have no idea what they are talking about. So after a long day spent staring at Twitter, we're sharing our favorites.
What's the deal with the British tradition of Christmas specials? slate.me/AmFINN #DowntonAbbey

A good question, though the timing is slightly off. Which is curious, because Slate could've ask the exact same thing about American sitcoms and Valentine's Day episodes where someone forgets (!!) to buy a gift for their sweetheart. But you haven't heard the turn yet: the sweetheart -- who has been the responsible one for the first 78 episodes -- also forgot to buy a present. So really, they're even: but they don't know that, because it's a situation comedy.

#TheRiver star and veteran actor Bruce Greenwood won’t dish on Mickey Rourke, but found Madonna delightful avc.lu/web3DD

Bruce Greenwood is a pro's pro. And let the record show, he was the only one in Thirteen Days with a serviceable Boston accent. When you do something like that, you're entitled to share a few stories about how Mickey Rourke is still so far out of the race he thinks he's winning. Not Greenwood: he's got a show to promote, he's going to promote it right. It's called The River, and while the buzz hasn't been great, we're not going to challenge Bruce Greenwood when he says it's an enjoyable piece of high-concept television.

This is an interesting story actually. Though, right now, it's more of a chilling reminder that you're out of wrapping paper and the CVS in your building closed at 5:30 p.m. today for restocking.

You heard your English sitter. Be good, be formal, and drink up. We have plans for tonight, so until we get back, The Guardian is in charge. Do what he says, even if it means writing 'colour' when you mean 'color.' We'll know what you mean.
