corduroy licorice was always too quick on the draw. if he had taken time with his illustrations, instead of impatiently scribbling out stick men scenes, his art showings might not have been limited to his mom's refrigerator door.

i think the larry sanders show was one of the best ever on tv. partly because of cut-the-bullshit dialogue like this:

rip torn's character to garry shandling's:

"yes, larry. he's a prick. you hired him so you wouldn't have to be a prick. that's the trouble with hollywood. everyone's got two pricks and three assholes. it's a genitalia horn of plenty."

speaking of larry sanders, i'm very excited because this week i get to see a former cast member perform her one-woman show. her name is sarah silverman and next to janeane garofalo, she is my comic idol.

here's an excerpt from an interview in the l.a. weekly:

"back in 1993, saturday night live hired her as a writer, but she wrote a joke about the law that requires a woman to wait 24 hours before getting an abortion. this waiting period is supposed to enable the woman to think it over.

'frankly, i think it's a good law,' said silverman. 'the other day i wanted to go get an abortion. i really wanted an abortion, but then i thought about it and it turned out i was just thirsty.' "

ah, so wonderfully twisted...and beautiful, to boot. i think i have a crush on sarah. but it's more in the way my friend lm-girl once put it: "you don't want to date her, you want to be her."
