Ahh yeah, there he is. I remember seeing him on a "Comics!" special a while back, funny, funny guy.

Some website has "demo reels" for some actors and stuff, I saw Jim's and it had clips from pretty much all his cameo/guest parts on various TV series (e.g. Ed, That70sShow, etc.) and watching it brought my "respect meter" up a few notches for this talented comic. Too bad the Letterman pet project didn't take off. Jim is a fresh voice in this day and age, admirable in his stand up especially cuz he doesn't have to do low brow "women are stupid, men love the tits" type of humour to get laughs. :)

I actually used a conventional, not microwave oven, to cook some hot pockets once, and I thought they weren't too bad.  They're a bit overpriced, so I don't think I'd get them unless I could get them on sale again.  Incidentally, Pizza Pops have a much better texture when baked in an oven rather then a microwave.

Holy crap man, you should go and see how much lobster is a pound, your cerebellum might fuse.

Also, you cooked hot pockets in the oven? Sure the instructions are there on the box, that violates the batchelor code y'know.

If my home power bills where any indication, using a full size conventional to head hotpockets is much much much more costly than to nuke them for 2 min in the microwave. Even using a toaster oven should be more efficient.

You forget, I don't pay for power in my condo, though I guess I shouldn't do that too often, or my condo fees will get worse :)

Never actually tried Hot Pockets, but the name brand "Pizza Pops" are *way* better than the *way* cheaper Superstore brand equivalent. Just so ya know (I bought 2 24-pack boxes and me and the kids are sllooooowwwwly going through 'em...)

My wife *loves* the toaster oven for that sort of thing!  Mini pizzas don't fit in a typical toaster oven, though :(

I love my new toaster oven.. It will fit a full 12" pizza, or 3 mini pizzas if you over lap them a little.
