Ricky's Ckorner

This week Ricky has been watching a lot of QI. I can tell because he is being more snarky and pretentious than usual.  When I asked him if he wanted to go outside to catch toads, he ranted about how everyone thinks that there is this huge difference between frogs and toads, when in reality they follow much of the same logic as geometry.

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

Or horticulture.
All carnations are dianthus, but not all dianthus are carnations.

In one of Ricky's less domineering moments this week, he shared with me his favorite video of Alan Davies being adorable and sharing some 3rd grader jokes and Stephen Fry not being able to handle the adolescent behavior. In fact, he calls Alan a very mean name too. And Mr Fry does not like Alan getting more laughs than him.  Ricky likes Alan Davies because he has a youthful air about him.  Ricky's select 30-or-so seconds run from :24 to :59, but I recommend just watching the whole thing.  It's one minute and forty-five seconds long.  


The clip is from QI Series B, Episode 8 "Bees"with Jo Brand, Rich Hall, and Fred MacAulay.

Thanks for joining us for another installment of Ricky's Ckorner!  The best 30 odd seconds of television Ricky has seen all week.
