Oh, is the great and alert reader Brandon Hollingsworth going to suggest a discussion thread topic?

Well, yes, he is.

In the Amazing Colossal Episode Guide, Paul Chaplin says he actually learned something useful from a hygiene short the show riffed (“Keeping Clean and Neat” from episode 613).
Of it, he writes, “I especially appreciated the short’s recommendation that one should clip one’s toenails after taking a shower, because the nails are softer then.”
So what other useful gems have we learned from the shorts? Keeping a budget the Ben Franklin way? Telephones of the future will be all that AND a bag of chips? The truck farmer keeps us knee-deep in beta carotene throughout the winter?
I’d like to see a discussion about how shorts have contributed to better MSTie living.

For one thing, I learned never to make light of BOOIIIINNGGG! And it’s a lesson that has served me well.
I also think some of those budgeting ideas in “Money Talks” are pretty smart, even if an imaginary fat guy with gout is explaining them to me.

How about you?
