Happy Birthday to Jill Talley, who's a lot more than Mrs Spongebob Squarepants. Honestly, it's hard not to talk about Tom Kenny when you talk about Jill Talley; 2010 will be their fifteenth wedding anniversary. Since they were castmates on the 1992 Fox sketch comedy show The Edge (the more I find out about this show, the more I want to see a DVD release,) it seems like they've been inseperable. It helps that they're both hilarious and talented. They were utility players through the entire run of Mr Show; they were the traveling couple in the Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight Tonight" video; they even appeared together in "Sky High". Oh, and she does the voice of Plankton's computer wife Karen, on Spongebob. Anyway, on her own, she does voicework for plenty of today's cartoons, including Boondocks, American Dad, Camp Lazlo, WordGirl... Also, she was Gail on Seinfield.
So Happy Birthday to Jill Talley, and thanks for giving me a reason to play Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight Tonight":
For decades (and under several names), this man has written in a variety of media, on a panoply of subjects, in an attempt to demarcate the cacophany of the universe. Despite the failure of several ventures, and the gravitational pull of reality, this man is unable to refrain from writing. Seriously, the dude has a problem. An intervention seems inevitable.
