Why, thank you for sending me there. Bérubé is hilarious. "Its tired-oldness," indeed!

Remember that Chris Farley character on SNL? The one who would do commentary on Weekend Update? Crazy with the air quotes? "Maybe I don't 'pee in the potty.' Maybe I don't 'bathe' 'regularly.'" Anyone?

You're comparing Bérubé to Chris Farley?

Hmmm....

Apostopher, I also eat a steady diet of government cheese. Well, as I see it, there is only one solution-- and that is for me to get my gear, move it on into here, 'cause I'm gonna bunk with you, buddy! We're gonna be buddies! We're gonna be pals!
