Over weight, late middle age Pee Wee. Kinda ruins the effect.

Didn't he do some MTV awards or something a few years ago, too?

Isn't that what Kim said to Alec?
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

Effect? You mean a grown man playing a child-like adult?

As for me, I'm glad to see the character return.

He was the worst part of that movie, what was it called, about the super hero wanna bees. Ben Stiller movie, had some funny moments and a lot of potential.

Pee Wee had his place and time, but he should let that character die.

Oh, it was Mystery Men. The Greg Kinnear character, Captain Amazing, was the funniest thing about the movie. He had sponsor decals all over his costume like race car drivers.

Somebody in the audience said something (inaudible) to which Pee Wee replied, "Oh yeah. Real mature."

Wish I knew what it was. Had to be a caught-jacking-off-in-adult-cinema joke.

One of the silly movies I enjoyed.

Geez, it must have been turned off by default in Safari 2, as I never saw it on any of the Macs I use. I make so many typos, I wish I had seen that feature before.

It's in the Edit menu under Spelling like in just about every other OS X app out there...

"I know what YOU are, but what am I?"

Also, give props to PeeWee for launching the career of "Cowboy Bob".
