Andrew, Loved seeing the Buddy Cole quote! I miss Kids in the Hall! I love all his bits, but esp. the weird one about the Tyrannosaurus Rex with those "faggy little hands of his."
Scott is one of a kind.
Brain Candy had its moments, but the show is where the cast really shone.
Hello Andrew--
Congratulations on your multiple book awards nominations! Man, that is definitely the way to end one year and begin another! Peace and blessings,
Aberjhani
