RIP Harold Ramis

From The Copy Desk:

    Today the boys are in mourning, actually they've been been mourning all afternoon and it will probably continue on through the evening until morning comes, for Harold Ramis - a great American writer, director and actor. A co-writer and director of Caddyshack, Ramis died Monday in Chicago. Marty and Warren ask that you respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Lemmings, lemons and lumens

      Marty's latest idea was to save money and bother by buying LED light bulbs, The Copy Desk reports, and offers a transcript of the boys' efforts.

       "The bathroom light is out again," Marty said, "Warren go under the stairs and grab a new bulb."
Warren scurries off under the stairs and returns. "I got that bulb you wanted," Warren says and hands over a standard incandescent bulb.  Marty shouts, "Warren I've told you we need mini-candelabra bulbs."
      "Mini-candle what," Warren says, confused. "Labra," Marty says. Warren goes off and returns empty-handed. "We're all out," Warren says. Marty stomps off and gets on the computer to order new bulbs from Mississippi.com, but when he sees the ads for LEDs he goes there instead.
     "It says something about how many lumens it emits while only using 8 watts," Marty says. "How does a light bulb give off lemmings," Warren says. "Lumens!" Marty shouts, "Lumens!"
      "Lemons?" Warren asks. "Lumens!" Marty shouts, "Lumens! It's a measure of the light bulbs give off."
      "Don't shout, you'll wake the lemmings," Warren snickered.

Man our butts are cold! We should get some pants.
