Dig his "smoking" remarks:

And Elaine Joyce, pre-Mrs. Neil "And will I inherit a motherload" Simon.

Such a great show.

Do you know what happens when you let Veal Prince Orloff sit in an oven too long?

I used to love Tony Randall until I read his autobiography and found out he was a homophobic jerk.

What did he say? I always thought he was great. One of my all time favorite movies ever is THE 7 FACES OF DR.LAO.

Really? I always considered him to be very deeply in the closet.

I did too. His homophobic attitude could have very well derived from that.

Deeply closteded men are very often homophobic, Eris. They do it for lots of reasons, including self-hatred and attempts at deflecting suspicion.

oops. I see you've already come to that conclusion yourself.

I can't find the book at the moment but it's here somewhere. He tells a long, vivid story about being forced to share a dressing room with one of "them." Usual crap.

I really did love him- Dr. Lao, Odd Couple, his game show appearances. I read the book when I was younger and naive and actually wrote him a letter of how disappointed I was, how quite a few of his co-stars probably thought HE was gay, blah blah blah.

Disappointing.

I can't decide if this is hysterical or in poor taste.
