I thought of him, but I thought it was a stretch to label what he does comedy. Absurd? Yes. Funny? Occasionally but more often bleak as hell.

Yeah, having gone to a grueling performance of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf last fall Albee wouldn't be the first name I'd think of in the context of comedy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

As soon as I leaned down to give it my hand to sniff, it stopped barking, dropped to the ground, and rolled onto its back in the patented rub-my-belly move.

Ooh, I should have tried that! I could have gotten in some quality puppy-belly-rubbing time....

This sounds like something that should be "Coming soon, on Sci-Fi"

a grueling performance of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

Grueling as in badly done, or as in emotionally draining?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was going at you because you smell like cats.

The latter. I think it was well-performed and faithful to the text, it was just painful to watch.

For some reason, this reminds me of Tom Servo's script for a horror movie, Earth vs. Soup.

Just one cat. And a German Shepherd.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Parts of Virginia Woolf would qualify as black comedy. But I'm not sure I'd put it in a high school curriculum. I can only imagine possible parental reaction to the game of "hump the hostess."

HOMG, Specialty's cookies are 600 calories? I no longer mourn the fact that when I changed jobs I lost Specialty's. Wow.

Needless to say, I will not be going there for a snack today.
