My Favorite Things-- THE LOOP

I hope to do a little feature from time to time that just, simply, explains something I find just funny or helpful or whatever. No real rhyme or reason. Here's the first:



Last Sunday, I was watching The Loop (which has become one of my two favorite shows airing new episodes this summer), and one of the characters said one of the most crass, but funny things I've heard in a long time.



Our "hero", Sam, gets bugged by Derek about every episode. They nearly always meet in the elevator, and Derek gives Sam a hard time by bragging about his own sexual accomplishments using very unsubtle metaphors while they wait for the elevator to take them to the right floor. One from Sunday just stuck with me. I'm going to paraphrase here because after I laughed at the crass part, I missed some of the rest:



"Where was I last night? You could guess I was half a yardstick in some Brazilian model..."



"Half a yardstick..." Three words that say so much...
