RachaelRay: adorable peanut, spawn of the devil, or human pod concealing an unidentifiable intergalactic species?
She’s an adorable human pod concealing an unidentifiable intergalactic devil-spawn species of peanut.

Do you honestly, truly believe that the Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nothin’ to fuck with?
In this crazy, mixed-up world, sometimes that’s the only thing I believe. Now that this opinion is in a newspaper, people will finally believe that I like rap music.

You’re known in Boston as the nicest comic in town. When are you going to cut the shit?
Here’s the thing: the niceness is just a front until I get my abs to the point where I can be the comic with Boston’s best abs. Then I won’t need to be nice, because I will dash my enemies to pieces on my abs, like rowboats on rocks.

    If only there were some way to watch a con-artist houseboy give his cougar sugar mama a squirming reach-around, charm the pants off a candy-necklace string of countless empty-eyed Hollywood stick figures, lose his heart to an untouchable social chameleon, and, in the process, find himself .

    While New York is grittier, Los Angeles juicier, and Boston is wicked smahter, for some odd reason it is Montreal that, for two weeks every summer, becomes the epicenter of the comedy universe.
