Close personal relationships with Mavis Beacon, Tina Louise
Obit of the week, in case you haven't read it: Les Crane, who'd somehow eluded my pop culture radar while alive. First real challenger to Johnny Carson. One-time husband of Tina Louise. Creator of Mavis Beacon. Grammy-winner for a much-parodied spoken word recording. Bonus in the NYT version: Air Force jet pilot.
Not planning to blog about Reno until I get home this weekend and offload some photos, but I couldn't start my day today with noting the obits. All Crane seemingly missed was elected office and a major sport. Double bonus: Mavis Beacon, not a real person (via Wikipedia). Triple bonus: Best reference in years.
Jim: How many words per minute does the average person type?
Pam: I type 90.
Jim: Shut up. Mavis Beacon doesn't even type 90.
And now … a list of extended Office quotes. Off to start the Reno day.
