I can't believe he hasn't barked yet.

To be fair
, Peter Lawford was pretty funny in Cluny Brown.

He was interviewed for local radio years ago, and was doing his usual "my gosh, oh golly, see my cutesy bowtie" schtick when a caller asked why he was on the board of Massey Energy. The nicey nice mask dropped fast.

So true! He has the magic. I saw the musical and that poor actor did not have the magic, so the character just seemed like a giant terrible child.

I never had a lunchbox because my mom used old bread bags and the most awkward giant paper bags for our lunches. Yours fills me with retroactive wistful longing!

I think patron saints are the wonderful genius of Catholicism. I was raised Catholic but let it all go..except for the St. Francis and St. Jude statues in my garden and the St. Christopher medal on my desk. St. Therese "the little flower" is inspirational.

It depends on the noodle. Spaetzle with butter (or anything, really) is awesome.

I saw Joan Rivers in an airport in 2010. I couldn't stop myself from approaching her on the plane and saying she was fantastic while lightly touching her silky sleeve. Joan: TAKE A DEEP BREATH!
