I'm always a big fan of self-referential post-modern humor on TV, so last night's episode was my all-time favorite.

The plot involved Marissa and Summer meeting guest star Colin Hanks, who was on location in Newport shooting scenes for his hot night-time soap, "The Valley," and getting invites to a club in LA for his birthday party.

Here's the "inside-jokes" that I caught, I'm sure there were more.

The very existence of a night-time soap about hot young people in a specific part of Southern California.

All of the references to Colin Hanks ad-libbing many of his lines (a la Adam Brody).

Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie, age 25) uttering the line "that guy's way too old to be playing high school."

Upon learning that Colin Hanks and his co-star are dating in real life, Seth Cohen warning him of the dangers of doing so, "I mean, what if it goes wrong, it'll ruin the whole chemistry of the show." (Adam Brody and smokin' hot Rachel Bilson are rumoured to be dating, as are Benjamin McKenzie and Mischa Barton).

Oh yeah, the show also had a cameo from Paris Hilton, playing herself -- as a grad student studying magic realism and writing her thesis on Pynchon.

Hey, if you dress like an accountant, you'll get paid like one in my business.

We don't have any car payments to make, so that cash goes into clothing. But thanks for your concern.

By the way, I'm not wearing fucking Brioni shit around the office. I get the shirts from Europe for less than American prices and the suits range from Hickey through Zegna through Canali, and I buy them when they're on sale.

You're right -- but to be more precise about this point, I think nothing makes a worse first impression than cheap shoes, regardless of the suit. You can ruin a good suit with the wrong shoes, but the right shoes (and shirt and tie) can really help a not so great suit. Since suits on men are essentially uniforms, you can get away with a lower quality if you have to do so, if you "accessorize" well.

I don't even want to talk about womens' suits. Get that triacetate shit away from my sugar-smoothed skin.

I don't watch this show, but was flipping and saw Paris talking about Pynchon. I thought I was on acid.

So now that we've seen your wife, care to tell us what you like to do in the bedroom?

Worse than sheap shoes are bad shoes. Those black clunky orthropedic looking fuckers make you look like you're wearing scuba fins. And it its got a square toe, (a) it went out aout 24 mo ago and (b) it was probably not that nice unless it was exceptionally good Italian shit, which most lawyers at the interviewing age can't afford.

You and me both sister! When I'm looking for fashion, nothing shouts quality quite like a nice suit stitched by the grubby little fingers of a 12-yr old Vietnamese girl!! And if she's dressed like a tarty little trollop while she's chained to the machine for her 18-hr shift, so much the better!

So is this the new sweetener or what? I've been using it in my coffee to replace Equal and it tastes the same. Apparently it's much better for you?

It's actually a sugar-derivative, which can't be said for aspartame or sacchrine (sp?). One thing splenda has in its favor in terms of replacing sugar in recipes is that it behaves like sugar when cooked (i.e. it melts at the same temperature, etc.).

If you think a 12 year old could stitch together a suit the way a good suit is stitched, you've clearly never worn anything good. Trust me... that shit you see Pat Riley wearing... that ain't stitched by any kids.

Just eat sugar, you fruity bastard. You already spend enough goddamned time at the gym... you can afford a few cubes a day.
