A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

AND YOU SHALL, YOU OLD-FASHIONED BOY: Before we get into tomorrow, I do need to commend to everyone the new HBO special Mel Brooks and Dick Cavett Together Again, and as much as it's fun to hear EGOT-winner Brooks tell some of his Hollywood tales, Cavett's just as profane and even funnier. There's a story he tells halfway through involving Chico Marx (whose name we've apparently all been mispronouncing forever -- it's Chick-oh) and Tallulah Bankhead that, by itself, is worth the hour. (It's available via Google, but it's Cavett's delivery that sells it.) That you also get Brooks telling a priceless Don Rickles-Frank Sinatra tale is just the icing on top. Must watch.
