Yesterday three Netflix rental DVDs arrived in my post office box - and I won't be able to get to them until the post office opens at 7 am tomorrow. It's a tragic shame.

See, I was busy in the morning yesterday and missed the three-hour window that the post office lobby is open. Yes, they lock that place up like a drum at noon. What, are they afraid we're going to sleep in there or something? Not very convenient for those of us with plans before lunch on a Saturday morning.

Anyway, I guess I just have to wait until tomorrow to get disc two of Flight of the Conchords, disc one of WGBH's Evolution and Boston Red Sox: 100 Years of Baseball History - which I just realized was made in 2001, so it'll probably be light on footage from 2004 and 2007's World Serieses.

Did you ever watch that sitcom NewsRadio with Phil Hartman? The best episode of that show was "Super Karate Monkey Death Car". (Jimmy James had his autobiography translated back into English from a Japanese translation, wackiness ensues).

Anyway, in the B-story to this already great episode an efficiency expert giving the radio station employees a lie detector test, and we learn that uptight Lisa Miller once committed a federal offense:

    Dave: I'm afraid to ask, but what was your federal offense?
    Lisa: Breaking and entering.
    Dave: That's not a federal offense.
    Lisa: It is if it's a post office.
    Dave: Oh, Lisa.
    Lisa: I had to find out the scores to my SATs, and it was a long weekend.

Oh, I know where she's coming from.

You know, I think I'm going to go put NewsRadio in my Netflix queue.
