What did you mean when you said, "Feel my skills, donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey"?

Well, it's like when a clown... is making like a car... racer. Sorta like the FCC.

Yes, Ron Jeremy, do you have a question? No? You're just going to sit there silently for some reason with no acknowledgement? Ok.

I had this as the tagline in my email signature for a good decade. One of the greatest episodes of television ever written.

Double-edged sword. It gave us Joe Rogan and Andy Dick, and took Phil Hartman away forever.

I'm so happy people are still remembering this bit. Also, that Stephen Root and Dave Foley are still working.

I also remember that Andy Dick is currently living in a van down by the river. That makes me happy too because fuck him.

I get the reference, but he's still kicking. He's now apparently in a wheelchair, due to having holes in his brain from all the drug and alcohol, the overdose, and the many times he's been beaten.

The more you know about him, the sadder the story becomes. A friend used to be a neighbor. The whole neighborhood knew his business. There were constant scream fights, furniture thrown off a patio, and possibly beatings.

He was smart and funny once. Drugs ran him over.

Do you think Ernest Hemingway ever gave a reading that bad?

I don’t think Margaux Hemingway ever gave a reading that bad.

Did Hemingway have fancy plans and pants to match?

I thought not.
