It is. But typically you put that in quotes. Sterling Malory "Duchess" Archer. /pedantism

Huh:

Her mother was Marjorie Merriweather Post, heiress to the Post cereal fortune and one of the nation's richest women.

I grew up near the Post estate and there were still, fifty years later, stories of what an extremely unpleasant human being MMP was. The consensus was: "she was an as-shole, even for a rich person."

He was making a reference to the exchange within Clerks.

37.
In a row?


Sure, she died young, and that's a shame. It's just not something that's going to affect me much.

You all missed French noting that you're also joking about the wrong actress.

Now, if you wanted to make a joke about screwing a dead guy in a bathroom, on the other hand...

(FWIW, Kevin Smith's instagram post about this was a good read)

This sounds demented, but I'm glad it was a disease, and not a drug addiction/etc. RIP, Lisa. :(

"She'll get over ****ing a dead guy. My mom's been ****ing a dead guy for 30 years. I call him Dad."

Nobody missed that. Everybody knows what 37 means. My 44 was the (other, slightly less annoying) actress's (I always get that wrong, is that the right way to give the possessive for a double s?) age at death. Then French made the dumb (sort of funny though) joke and Clown made the (very funny, although "36... no, 37" would have been funnier) elaboration.

We all understood the joke. We all understand it's a different girl. We all know the 37 girl is the (ironically, still living) necrophiliac.

Jeez, Louise, I hate people who get the words wrong.

[Roger Moore]'s the first Bond to go.
Click to expand...

Marc Haynes, a television and radio comedy writer, wrote about meeting the late 'James Bond' actor age seven, in a Facebook post that has been shared over 4,700 times.

As an seven year old in about 1983, in the days before First Class Lounges at airports, I was with my grandad in Nice Airport and saw Roger Moore sitting at the departure gate, reading a paper. I told my granddad I'd just seen James Bond and asked if we could go over so I could get his autograph. My grandad had no idea who James Bond or Roger Moore were, so we walked over and he popped me in front of Roger Moore, with the words "my grandson says you're famous. Can you sign this?"

As charming as you'd expect, Roger asks my name and duly signs the back of my plane ticket, a fulsome note full of best wishes. I'm ecstatic, but as we head back to our seats, I glance down at the signature. It's hard to decipher it but it definitely doesn't say 'James Bond'. My grandad looks at it, half figures out it says 'Roger Moore' - I have absolutely no idea who that is, and my hearts sinks. I tell my grandad he's signed it wrong, that he's put someone else's name - so my grandad heads back to Roger Moore, holding the ticket which he's only just signed.

I remember staying by our seats and my grandad saying "he says you've signed the wrong name. He says your name is James Bond." Roger Moore's face crinkled up with realisation and he beckoned me over. When I was by his knee, he leant over, looked from side to side, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said to me, "I have to sign my name as 'Roger Moore' because otherwise...Blofeld might find out I was here." He asked me not to tell anyone that I'd just seen James Bond, and he thanked me for keeping his secret. I went back to our seats, my nerves absolutely jangling with delight. My grandad asked me if he'd signed 'James Bond.' No, I said. I'd got it wrong. I was working with James Bond now.

Many, many years later, I was working as a scriptwriter on a recording that involved UNICEF, and Roger Moore was doing a piece to camera as an ambassador. He was completely lovely and while the cameramen were setting up, I told him in passing the story of when I met him in Nice Airport. He was happy to hear it, and he had a chuckle and said "Well, I don't remember but I'm glad you got to meet James Bond." So that was lovely.

And then he did something so brilliant. After the filming, he walked past me in the corridor, heading out to his car - but as he got level, he paused, looked both ways, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said, "Of course I remember our meeting in Nice. But I didn't say anything in there, because those cameramen - any one of them could be working for Blofeld."

I was as delighted at 30 as I had been at 7. What a man. What a tremendous man.
