Rescue Me

An FX show about post-9/11 firefighters in New York. Denis Leary plays Tommy, a veteran firefighter who can't seem to move on after splitting up with his wife and the tragedy involving 9/11. It's a great show that combines tragedy with gut-busting laughs. You already know Leary is a funny guy, but he proves to be a talented actor (and writer) as well.

FX has done some great shows; The Shield, Nip/Tuck and now Rescue Me.

Rescue Me

While it is also a popular show, "Rescue Me" is the BEST MADONNA SONG IN THE WORLD!

A refreshing change of pace from Madonna's usual frothy, effervescent songs of euphoric love such as "Material Girl" or "Lucky Star", "Rescue Me" is not really a "Into The Groove"-like dance song or a bouncy pop song such as "Holiday".

A song about a woman who cannot love, and feels like she's drowning because of her emotions.

"You bring me to my knees
While I'm scratching out the eyes
Of a world I want to conquer, and deliver, and despise,
And right when I am kneeling there
I suddenly begin to care,
It gives me hope that there could be
A person that loves me!

Rescue Me,
It's hard to believe
Your love has given me hope!
Rescue Me,
It's hard to believe
I'm drowning, baby throw out your rope!"

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.
