Table Scraps:

♣ADVICE FOR TRAVELING film directors: When you're at an airport and a customs agent asks what you're there for, and it turns out you're there to film the first episode of a potential television show, you might not want to say, "I'm here to shoot a pilot." Because, you know, they might take that the wrong way. (UPDATE: In the comments section, Francis wisely informs us that the story isn't true. Damn.)

♣THE NAZI COMPARISON of the week goes to a guy in Cambridge, Mass., who told the Boston Globe that upset a local dog park will no longer allow out-of-town dogs to run off-leash: "I was brought up in England before World War II and saw happenings in Europe and discrimination against groups," Wilkins said last week he as he watched Babe chew a stick. "This whole business is a retrograde step."

♣NOBODY PUTS BABY in a corner. At least, not this baby. Because it'll kick your ass.

♣THINGS ABOUT WAL-MART: It's too cheap for its own good, and it can't take a joke.

♣BEHOLD, THE ONLY segment of Nancy Grace ever worth watching, courtesy of Elizabeth in Nancy's control room.

♣GOOGLE MAPS HAS, yet again, become increasingly amazing and scary. Go there, click on "street view," zoom in on one of the cities, and pick an intersection. Interestingly, they managed to take pictures with almost no people in them. I wonder if their photographers asked people to get out of the way. (UPDATE: Apparently I wasn't looking close enough.)

♣THE CHART PROVES it: Biggie was right.

♣AND THEN, THERE'S this.
