He was saying that, having done a tour in man-clothes, he might go back to transvestite tours later.
Woot! Usually I'm totally unreasonable about the LA LA LA I'M WRITE SHUT UP-ness of things, but here I'm quite happy to smile and go, "See? Senile and wrong!"
Heh. Admittedly, I may be making this up. To put my mind at rest, I'm off to see if the clip is still anywhere online...
I find it frustrating to talk to some folks from the Carolinas and Georgia and such. They often say, "What did you say? You're talkin' too fast, hon." and I have to consciously speak slower. How do they watch TV if what I think is an average speech speed is too fast?
Or maybe that's the key to the prevalence of hyper-conservatism in the South--the liberals talk too fast, and if we slowed down the reasonable folks of the South would say, "Oh, yeah, that makes sense, sure, hon."
(Though I hate to be called hon)
It was indeed Chain Reaction, and he was being interviewed by fellow comedian Frank Skinner, but the BBC took it down from iPlayer last week, so I cannot verify. Ah well. I definitely remember a comment about doing future tours in transvestite mode.
He also talked about how a big part of the reason he's stopped wearing women's clothes/makeup is that he can't get TV parts when he's dressed that way. Which strikes me as pretty shoddy (of TV producers).
People from the East Coast think I speak too slowly and softly...Southerners can't keep up.(I guess that's what it sounds like not to sound like you're from somewhere.)
I feel better about "hon" since the Baltimore thing.
Of course, not all Southerners speak slowly.
No, maybe just by comparison.
In a few minutes, I'm gonna watch Rahm Emanuel on Charlie Rose...I wish I'd saved my (Apparently) freakiest thought about him for Bitches, because I posted somewhere recently that I think it's bad-ass that he still talks with his hands as much as his brothers, even with a half-middle finger(Obama's joke that this rendered him partially mute...I really did lol) But when I wrote that, nobody said anything.
Although that is more of an imperfection than a disability, I think we need some of that in our mispocheh
(I *do* understand that's not usually why people call him "shameless", however. But I like it.)
Thanks for the heads up, erika!
