The Addamses, duh.

No way Jose! I'll take The Munsters all day and everyday.

I think I'd take the Munsters too.

[Kory]

Bewitched should be eligible. Elizabeth Montgomery, rrrrrrrrrrr.

Seconded.

She'd be fighting Jeanie though

EM wins that fight easily. Was she the most beautiful woman on tv in the 60s? Diana Rigg or Mary Tyler Moore are the only others that come to mind.

Ah, Mary.

The Addamses, duh.

I think I'd take the Munsters too.

Yeah has to be both.

I think I'd take the Munsters too.

Also if you see Yvonne DeCarlo outside of her Munsters makeup... hubba hubba.

She's no Carolyn Jones, but sure.

I should've said 'grief, shame and humility.'

Then you should have written your death poem, summoned your second, and thrust the seppuku blade into the soft of your belly.

A timely tweet:

[Chuck Mangione]

Watched something that had "Gates of the West" in it. Can't remember what.

I think I imagined this.

[Wolter]

Going back: I like the Addams family more on paper, but if you're just talking the 60s shows, the Munsters were flat out better.

Addams Family Values remains one of my favorite comedies from the early 90s. WAAAAAY better than the sequel to a licensed TV show remake deserves to be.

Thinking about applying to a company looking for an in-house content editor. The online reviews I checked out aren't encouraging, with the phrase frat house appearing in both positive and negative assessments. They want an editing sample, so I'm fixing up their shitty job ad. It'll either work … or not. Regardless, it's a lark.

As long as the recruiter didn't write it

I got a 10 plus page resume to review the other day. Why the fuck wasn't it tossed in the trash to begin with is beyond me.

Ha! It certainly wasn't written or proofed by anyone even moderately competent. Redundant phrases, shifting tenses, inconsistent punctuation, and unclear phrases—just awful presentation. Plus they call themselves "badass" and offer an "awesome" place to work (free snacks!). Nothing about the ad suggested they promoted a responsible atmosphere.

Christ. Rule 1 of writing: Your reader's time is valuable, so don't fucking well waste it. Academic c.v.'s are usually insanely long because you have to list every publication, every conference presentation, every committee served on, every course taught, every grad student supervised. It's like your parents never took anything you made off the fridge.

Yeah this was for a technical position. He had anecdotes for nearly every position he's held and many positions weren't remotely relavent to what he was applying for. Paper route?

Like everyone's first resume, where you list your hobbies: listening to music; watching and playing sports; reading. How the fuck do employers figure out who to call for an interview when all the applicants are sixteen?
