If Bob Newhart were in The Aristocrats
As imagined by Tabetha Wells at McSweeney's Internet Tendency. Including the line, "Uh-huh. Balloon animals. I see. You put them in your ... oh ... oh dear ..."
Hee hee. I needed that today. I've often tried to convince people that Bob Newhart is a comic genius. (Yes, I know that he didn't actually write that. But it's a perfect channeling of him.)
I'm an all-purpose word geek: I write (blogs, plus a book), I edit (medical stuff), I read (mostly blogs and magazines...that stack of unread books glares at me from beneath the dust), and I play with words (crossword puzzles are a strong favorite).

That was awesome. I could so hear Bob Newhart delivering those lines.
Also, did I mention that I saw the movie a few weeks ago? It was excellent! Worthy of a few exclamation points, even!!
I love McSweeneys. I want to marry it.
