Oh, and they remembered that they'd been richer before they met him

As enthusiastically as I have proselytized about Terry Pratchett's Going Postal (2004) for the last several years—I now find myself telling people that it's my favorite Discworld novel—I was still somewhat surprised to discover that there is an adaptation of it in the works. I'm not disappointed, I'm just not used to anyone having the same favorite anything as me. But unless I hear reason otherwise, I am really going to look forward to it. IMDb tells me that its con-man protagonist, Moist von Lipwig, is going be played by Richard Coyle. Otherwise known (at least to me) as Jeff, from Coupling. And that really has the potential to be awesome.

but when I'm reading those, the space in my video-imagination for Moist van Lipwig is occupied by Neil Patrick Harris.

. . . I don't know Neil Patrick Harris except insofar as he hosted the Tonys and was adorable. What should I see him in?

Most famous at the moment for Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, which is I think still available in some form or other.

And there's his fabulous Sesame Street appearance..."Come on, Fairy Shoe Person. The customer is always right. The customer is always right."
