Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 14, 2009

I prefer the voice of my other half….

It’s a no-brainer - looks fade, but as they get older they can still be making money off their voice. But thirty accents? Oy!

Meryl’s brand is “the greatest actress of her generation”, fashioned by a P.R. firm for megabucks borrowed from her Dad when she was still at Yale. Put anything she’s done beside, say Mo’Nique in “Precious” or Zohra Lampert in “Splendor in the Grass” or Gena Rowlands in anything, and you have good reason to see through the brand.

thank you, G.B.T. spot-on as ever.

You could still get a handheld device for use as a pedestrian and they also have gps for boats and aircraft. In NYC they are really great to help find subway stations,etc.

What a silly but heartfelt tribute to the greatest actress of our time.

I’m used to my wife’s directions.

I don’t pay any attention to any commands unless they’re preceded by, “EEE!,” or “WHY didn’t you turn THERE?”.

@ottod, I suppose they could customize the GPS to set it up specifically for you. How many E’s in “EEE”?

To feel at home I need a GPS navigator that says “Turn left. No, the OTHER left!”

I have great regard for Streep, but as for her accents, I think she has just two: American and Foreign.

I use a gps for my work quite a lot. Mine has several voices including Donald Duck, Darth Vader and GW Bush. My favorite line is W when he says, “You have reached your destification.”

Isn’t that redundant? Donald Duck AND GW Bush?

laugh, Donald Duck is a sailor. Dubya Duck was in the Air Guard.

MisngNOLA…in the Air National guard ? Okay if the “in” is part of “missing in action”.
