AS SEEN ON TV: COTTON MATTERS

post from INNER TOOB on 07 December 2009 07:02:00 PM. © INNER TOOB

ELI WHITNEY Eli Whitney (December 8, 1765 ? January 8, 1825) was an American inventor best known as the inventor of the cotton gin. This was one of the key inventions of the Industrial Revolution and shaped the economy of the antebellum South. Whitney's invention made short staple cotton into a profitable crop, which strengthened the economic foundation of slavery. Despite the social and economic impact of his invention, Whitney lost his profits in legal battles over patent infringement, closed his business, and nearly filed bankruptcy.(from Wikipedia)AS SEEN IN:"Swing Out, Sweet Land" AS PLAYED BY:Dean Martin Eli Whitney was the inventor of the "cotton beer" over in Skitlandia. (This variety special was fully sponsored by Budweiser.) As Whitney splained it, he didn't need eight Clydesdales to pull a martini.

But in the Tooniverse, Eli Whitney invented something that had nothing to do with cotton.....

post from BuzzSugar on 07 December 2009 06:30:55 PM. © BuzzSugar

When I was a kid, I was all about spending the holidays playing with my new toys, and that doesn't have to change just because we're all grown up. In my newest installment of gift guides, I've got a few fun pop culture games to keep your loved ones busy between dinner and dessert.

I can totally see my friends fighting over who gets to use the "Fusilli Jerry" token in Seinfeld Monopoly, or implicating Dwight as a murderer in The Office version of Clue. Check out all my picks below, and don't forget that there are plenty of other great ideas across the network!

Jennifer Carpenter says to put your therapist on
speed dial for Dexter season finale

If you've been following the fourth season of Dexter and his hunt for the Trinity Killer the way I have, then your butt is practically growing legs and willing to sprint towards this Sunday's season finale.

And now Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Debra Morgan on the show, is urging fans and new viewers alike to "have a good time talking to your therapists about it (the season finale) because it's beyond whatever you may think," according to a recent interview with E! Online.

Of course, this could all be just hype designed to draw in as many eyeballs as possible for a show that's already loaded to the gills with them, but I wouldn't put anything pass a show like Dexter. Despite the unevenness of all the plots this season, the Trinity Killer angle has more than made up for it. Could it be that we don't get to see Dex turn Arthur Mitchell into a human jigsaw puzzle on his kill table?
