Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
from my experience in libraries,(and a bit on the retail floor) somewhere between 11 and 13; girls lose their sense of humor, until at least age 15. I can joke with the boys in the library, but not the girls. Now this doesn't mean they don't joke with friends or family, but public humor isn't tolerated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sharon Osbourne is gross.
Also not funny.
I am funny and have attracted men via same.
Yay Shrift!

This Hitchens piece is totally crazy
It's been years since he's produced one that wasn't.

The Buffy thread is filled with watch and post, so I haven't been in recently. Don't know if this TV Guide article on the Buffy S8 comic was linked to there. From there you can see a few pages of it, and the last one made me laugh.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Interesting. But that last panel contains a spoiler of sorts.

Whoo! Benefits good! One might even say they're beneficial!
I'll be able to go to the doctor if I need to! And not pay an exhorbitant amount for new eyeglasses! And I'll have to see if it's at all possible to take a floating holiday on December 26th. That would be nice.

Well, inasmuch as you can spoil yourself, I guess. It refers to (and clarifies) something we saw onscreen, but there's nothing left to spoil, is there?

Ann, that's a ferret.
It does put certain things in a very different light. I guess it depends on where (if anywhere) they go with that point.

I don't watch that much comedy, but when I do cruise by the shows on TV, my main impression of the women comedians was that on the average they were more grating than the men. I've seen dozens of clueless/sadly untalented/obnoxious male comedians, but the percentage of people I find funny tends to favor men. The common trend with the unentertaining women was their attempts to be "ballsy", which is what I assumed Hutchins meant by "dykey"--a badly named attempt to be more-macho-than-thou.
I can't stand Larry the Cable Guy. I love the other guys on Redneck Comedy Tour. Ellen DeGeneres will make me fall on the ground in tears. On the whole, I'd rather take a chance on watching a male comedian than a female comedian, and mostly for the reasons that Hutchins listed.
