His awesome pickup line: “I heard in Greece they have to change Charlton Heston’s name on movie posters to ‘Charlton Heaston’ ’cause in Greek ‘Heston’ means ‘to poop yourself.'” Last night I saw the first season 30 Rock where Liz Lemon first meets possible love interest Floyd. (To be fair, they also quickly pointed me to the right place to fix it.) I just had the site upgraded to a more powerful new server–and they screwed up my PHP settings at no extra charge! Awesome.
