A Pox on you! Dave Foley is clearly the cutest cross-dresser. Of course, Dave is always cute. Ok, I’ll admit it, he’s my man-crush.

However, in the live show a couple of years ago, Dave had obviously gained a little weight. It was most apparent when he donned the Hecubus outfit for the Pit of Darkness skit. I don’t mind the roundness, but in black tights, it is a little … um … uncomely.

What’s wrong with you all? Obviously, you’re all just hijacking this thread because you have issues caused by the trauma of circumcision. You see, circumsicion is the result of Phi geometry at the speed of light (C) times the golden spiral with momentum of delta / pi. The reason you don’t understand that is because Clinton destroyed the public education system after releasing known terrorists and commies from prison. So, in conclusion, all your base are belong to us.

Did you see the NewsRadio episode where he wore the black dress to the Halloween party? The characters even said he looked better than Maura Tierney in that dress.

(I don’t think so…)

Yes, I saw that episode. And before I comment any more on my evaluation of his looks in the dress, I need to consult with **Esprix** , the Semi-official Ask the Gay Guy consultant, as to whether my reply consititutes outing myself.

Sure is. When I was in Florida, it was next to impossible to find decent pizza, but the biscuits 'n gravy were fantastic. Now that I’m in NY, the pizza’s to die for, but the biscuits 'n gravy are among the missing. There’s just no place that you can win when it comes to all the good foods I love.

Yeah, I think we Westerners actually borrowed the biscuits 'n gravy thing from the South. Thanks, Dixie! And I dream of going to NY someday for the pizzas.

I get to go to Phoenix a lot and while I’m there, I like to gorge myself on - how prosaic - Mexican food. Last July, I got to spend a week in Safford, AZ. I swear, they have about a hundred teeny little Mexican restaurants to serve a population of about 12000. There’s one place with a 24-hour drive-up window. “Heavennn, I’m in heavennn …”

When I do get to go East, it’s always to Washington DC. So, what’s the regional delicacy in DC?

I have a test on bones Thursday, and I don’t why someone would have a small scapular spine on one side and a large one on the other.

Did I mention he was Spanish?

And he has a large hole in the parietal bone?

Ummm, guys? It’s really not all that hard to _make your own_\* biscuits n’ gravy. I did it a few days ago and must agree with the original Bn’G comment and say that, yes, it truly is the best breakfast ever.

Oh and, if I could, I would use BlackKnight’s post as my new sig.
