But here are some of my favorite book reviews: Ishmael, 1984, Catcher in the Rye, The fountainhead, Bill Oreilley Culture War(Shitty Book, but the review of it was hilarious, one of my all time favorites)
Heroes
Alex Murray, Ralph Nader, the guy who invented the pillow
Thanks for the add! It was a pleasure to have gotten to meet you as well & quite truthfully I don't care what people say about ya in regards to the Friday show at Joey's, I saw ya Thursday and you were brilliantly hilarious. I look forward to seeing ya again sometime down the road
Saw your CC 1/2 Hour last Friday. I hadn't seen it in a long time, and I forgot about the Jude Law joke. My Mom says you're way hotter than him. She said HE should be gay for YOU. :D
It was cool meeting you and seeing your show Friday night at Joey's. That will forever be the most insanely bizare and memorable show I have ever seen. Thank you for that sir.
