There are things in my head that need to get out. You'll find some of them here.

Bummer, huh? Excellent video clip.
I actually went hunting for a clip of Rick Moranis' very demented impression of Merv from "SCTV," which I couldn't find. But I think this is much better.
My mom used to watch Merv every afternoon when I was a kid, so I did too. Right after "Batman" reruns, of course.
I have a big job due in a few minutes. So, my first priority is to hit Google and find that Rick Moranis clip for you...(Note: We had the exact same TV routine growing up. Due to my grandmother's programming, Mike Douglas was also involved.)
Ah yes, Mike Douglas. I seem to recall him coming on earlier in the day, so I only saw him when I was home sick from school.
They don't quite make talk show hosts in this mold anymore, do they? And we lost Tom Snyder a few weeks ago too.
Maybe someone should give Regis Philbin a check-up, just in case.
Was anybody else immediately reminded of Milk and Cheese's "Merv Griffin" strip?
It's a hell of a thing, having images of dairy products gone bad running around screaming "MERV GRIFFIN!" while destroying everything they could get their hands on.
Made for a distracting weekend.

Thanks, Lamont...in addition to everything else, I know have the blancmange Monty Python skit stuck in my head too.

Lamont: Oh gawd, I didn't even think of that!
