I WAS A SHOE SALESMAN. NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT. ONE DAY, MY WIFE SAYS TO ME, "WHY DON'T YOU TRY RUNNING FOR OFFICE? YOU KNOW, YOU TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME ... WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO DO IT?"  Our friend Carrie Rickey wants to know about your favorite on-screen fictional vice presidents.  (Also: John Hoynes or Bingo Bob Russell?)

BEFORE THIS CAME INTO MY LIFE, I MISSED IT SO SO BAD: As Matt Ufford puts it, "Call Me Maybe and Chatroulette: two annoying passe phenomena that, when combined, make something truly delightful." The moment when a person goes from feeling that he or she is the butt of a joke to realizing that he or she is in on the joke is a beautiful moment, and this is brimming with those -- just count the looks of horror that break into unexpected grins.

SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!  Grab your Wyld Stallyns gear, since Vulture is reporting that Bill & Ted 3 is ready to move forward, with Keanu and Alex Winter both willing to return and Dean Parisot (best known for Galaxy Quest) attached to direct.

MY PEOPLE, MY PEOPLE, WHAT CAN I SAY; SAY WHAT I CAN. I SAW IT BUT DIDN'T BELIEVE IT; I DIDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW. ARE WE GONNA LIVE TOGETHER? TOGETHER ARE WE GONNA LIVE? Honoring today's release of Red Hook Summer, starring Cool Lester Smooth, Grierson and Leitch rank Spike Lee's 22 movies, and with Jungle Fever and He Got Game falling below the median it reminds one just how amazing (if uneven) Lee's career has been. (I still want to see the James Brown movie he wants to make.)  Meanwhile, Slate hypothesizes that the quality of a Spike Lee joint is directly proportional to the average temperature depicted in the movie.

If you have not read Leitch's recent interview with Lee, read Leitch's recent interview with Lee.

ALOTT5MA FRIDAY GRAMMAR RODEO:  Locating the center of one of this blog's many Venn diagrams of  interest, the editors of The Green Bag have worked with a Connecticut law school to compile an authoritative Pronouncing Dictionary of the Supreme Court of the United States. Next time you need to file a Daw-bərt motion or argue about personal jurisdiction based on Burger King Corp. v. Roo-je-vich, you'll know how.

DRESS FOR THE JOB YOU WANT, NOT THE JOB YOU HAVE: When I go to the gym, I see people wearing all kinds of clothing. Not different people wearing all kinds of clothing, but each person wearing all kinds of clothing. One woman might have Asics shoes, Lululemon pants, and a Nike top. I might (and do) wear Nike shoes, Adidas shorts, and a ratty t-shirt. Mix and (mis)match seems to be the rule, and it doesn't seem odd at all. So why are cyclists so fussy about matching? Would you just die if your Capo jersey didn't match your Castelli bibs? If your top said Garmin but your butt said Rabobank? I just don't get this.
