In praise of Chris Elliot
The Colossus has a long piece on the work of Chris Elliot. I didn't mention him yesterday in my paen to Groundhog Day, because that's another dimension to the movie which makes it so enjoyable: the distinct feeling that you are watching what would have happened to David Letterman if, instead of jumping to network tee-vee in the late 1970s, he had never made it out of being a weatherman, only making the journey from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh.

"Hail the size of canned hams!"
(The line that got Letterman fired from his weatherman job.)
