The Original Nordberg

Officer Nordberg is probably my second-favorite character from Police Squad!, played by Peter Lupus of the original Mission: Impossible.

He is very bad at charades, though not in the simplistic way of Frank Drebin (who at an index finger representing "one word" guesses "finger"). Also, while working undercover at a locksmith shop, Nordberg gets far more excited about thinking of ways to create business, such as offering one free key for every five keys duplicated, than he does at police business.

This post is probably more of a personal indulgence than it is of interest to you, my loyal audience, but part of me thinks that it is these frequent personal Blog Indulgences that are the backbone, or perhaps the keystone, that hold PositiveMode together (It is difficult drawing a metaphor when the most appropriate comparisons, such as backbone and keystone, are by definition singular, whereas the item to be compared, unusual but blog-vital pop-culture postings, are necessarily plural. Nevertheless, the metaphor remains).
