I'm so stupid. I watched her get her Mark Twain prize for comedy and she kept referring to Jane as her partner, but I thought she meant writing.
Eye m dubm.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Not rash assumption, they ARE writing partners.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh yeah - Tomlin and Wagner did The Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe back in the '80s. I think then is when I figured she was gay. Or maybe a gay friend told me she was gay at around the same time....

Our wings are not tired.
I saw that show, maybe '86, in Hollywood. It was made of awesome, as are Tomlin and Wagner. Pretty funny for chicks.
I don't enjoy much standup, but much of what I have enjoyed has been female. I don't generally think about the gender of the person making me laugh. Personally in my life men have cracked me up laughing more often than women.

I saw that with my mom when she brought it to Chicago on tour in 1988 or '89, and came to the same conclusion after seeing the play. My dad had won tickets to the show (his group won the Tribune's Ribfest in '88) and saw it with his wife and some friends, and hated it with a passion. Knowing his rather conservative views on sexuality, I wasn't surprised.
Speaking of my dad, he cracked me up at Thanksgiving when I was telling him about my eye doctor appointment and the expectation of needing bifocals in the next few years. He said something about "Well, that'll happen when you hit 38," and I replied, "Dad, I'll be 41 in March." His expression of sheer horror was priceless!

OTOH, it's possible we're not funny because we don't have penises.
Don't get me wrong -- I'm a fan of the penis, very pro-penis... but nothing is funnier than a penis.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ha! I'm never sure if my father knows how old I am. My mother does, though, to the second.
During one of my whiny calls home I was complaining to her that the doctor had put me on baby aspirin to mitigate an elevated stroke risk. She tried to comfort me by telling me her doctor had done the same thing to her.
Dude! You're hypertensive and thirty-odd years older than me! I feel worse now, not better.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm wicked funny! And Jewish. And hefty. So I don't count, I guess. WhatEv!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My mother never knows how old I am either -- she was shocked to learn that it's my Jesus year coming up. (WOO HOO JESUS YEAR!!)
