"Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains,

a pretty violent image there.

I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it,

maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem.

Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash."

Animal Lovers & Fashionphiles eyed each other suspiciously
during the PETA-Sponsored 2007 Marc Bouwer Show.

The cruelty-free collection (not even wool)
brought out Richard Belzer with his little bitty dog (BeBe...),
Marlo Thomas, Vivica Fox, and Oksana Baiul.

Time For Tea

---

“Do jokes somehow address a concern,

a primal concern that we have? Yes, they do.

They deal with things that are almost incomprehensible.
They’re ways of controlling the uncontrollable…
That’s the best thing we can hope for in comedy: honesty.”

 -- Richard Belzer from pages 51 & 52 of How To Be A Stand Up Comic with Larry Charles and Rick Newman. ©1988

Today's Word is Pugilistic

"With my uncertain, self-conscious motions perceived as character rather than circumstance, I began to increasingly fear all manner of potential misperception. I didn't speak as often as I had, afraid the reaction to my words would be other than I wished; terrified I would communicate something other than I intended.

One night, Richard Belzer, who -- when I first came around the comedy clubs as a teenager -- was very nice to me, reacted to the newly timid me by saying, 'I liked the old, pugilistic Andy better.'

We were standing in the back hallway of the (L.A.) Comedy Store and my reticence to speak must have leapt out...I smiled inside at the notion that I had once been 'pugilistic' and, ever optimistic, assumed I would be again. That was, after all, the 'real me'. "

-- Andrew J. Lederer, Comedian.
