Bill Bailey is a musician/comedian who came to my attention via Black Books (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utftP4dkg7k). V. hilarious show. Bernard (Dylan Moran) and Manny (Bailey) have his bizarre relationship that (depending on the episode is) shop owner and employee, dysfunctional roommates, old married couple, father/son(/daughter), and whatever other combinations involve one partner being charmingly drunken and abusive and the other mild-mannered and intelligent. Plus it's funny.

I applaud your ability to be productive!
