::: in a small, squeaky voice ::: Mother! Minnie Driver or Jamie Lee Curtis, eh? Yeeeh boy. ::: returns to the fun squad headquarters, hoping to find herself a nice script writer ::: Unfortunately for me, you guys should be casting a young Megan Follows for my part.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Trion \* > **But having looked at both your pictures I can say that John Waters looks nothing like oldscratch.** Whoa… OK, I take it back. He just has to lose the cheesy Erroll Flynn mustache, though. It’s a damn sight better than Steve Buscemi, that’s for sure. ---

You don’t I just felt like typing his name this morning. Not to mention the thought of him in a red Ginger wig sets me off in hysterical giggles.
