You know who also knows how to frame a massive shot? Chi Chi LaRue.

Did anyone ask him about his early career in musical theater?

Raping Jughead? SOmeone call Kim Novak!

Same here! Damn you, Charles Guiteau, for inflicting the damnable Chester Arthur upon this great nation!

You're blaming a rape victim for not participating in the manufacture of the weapon used to rape her. Shame on you. Somebody should go all Kelly McGillis on your ass.

Holy Crap, I don't think I can do anymore work today. I've got to go home and pet my cat.

The Baby Isn't Yours, Charlie Brown
Come Out Of the Closet, Charlie Brown
You've Got Jungle Fever, Charlie Brown!

No, but I love Bugles.

Wizard of Id was a musical? Do you have references to that? I can't find anything about it anywhere and its relevant to a project I'm working on.
