Me neither. I don't want to objectify Joanna Newsom, but I want to objectify Joanna Newsom.

(By the way, I mean that the Studio 60 version wouldn't be funny, not Amelie's last paragraph.)

Now *that's* a great idea. Maybe Larry the Cable Guy could be a part of it?

I know, right? What a way to squander what little goodwill you managed to earn.

Right, minus the funny.

I TOO LIKE TO MAKE LOVE ON MY GIRLFRIEND.

You know what bit would really jazz up Wanda Sykes's act?
