Paul Rudnick, in rare form.

"...I knew that what Brad and I were doing was wrong, especially after the fifty-eighth time. That was when I told Brad, quite firmly, 'Brad, our being together is sinful and will only impede our development as responsible Christian adults. And your mustache tickles'...."

Amen, Brother

I love Paul Rudnick.

He's a national treasure.

My favorite line:

Off topic, but: My all-time favorite Rudnick line was in his review of "The Lord of the Rings," where he said that Christopher Lee as Saruman looked just like Cher, if she were allowed to age naturally.

And I like the following double-edged sword:

"I assumed that his offer of drugs and orgies was just an expression of low self-esteem"

I read this yesterday. It's very clever.

Loving it!

"As a teen-ager, I found that I was attracted both to serving Our Lord and to Jimmy Wiggins, the assistant coach of my high-school soccer team. I was in torment, and I would pray for hours on end, asking God why He would command me to love Him so deeply and at the same time just go and create Jimmy?s snug little soccer shorts."

I love this man. He makes me laugh. Lots.

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)
