And check out the adverbs too! Julie Klausner, by the way, is now the proud owner of an optioned HBO series: "HBO is teaming with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Gary Sanchez and actress Lizzy Caplan to develop a comedy series project" based on Julie's memoir, I Don't Care About Your Band. Yes, that's the Lizzy Caplan from "Party Down," our favorite deceased show. Mazel tov.
I was hoping for "treacly," but "prostitute-like" made up for it.
28. anthropurrrrmorphic?
1. JULIE!!!!!!
2. NO BUT REALLY: JULIE!!!!!!!!!!! Such great, great, great news via STEALTH ANNOUNCEMENTS (and also Tyler's tumblelog)
3. Is it really Morrissey Day on The Awl? Because YIPPSIES! if it is!
I concur!
Seeing "vulgar", "lilting", "plaintive" and "Richard Rodgers-style" all on the same list is making my heart sing, with fringe on top.
My Mad Libs just got a little more Red Grooms-esque.
I'm going with Jim Dine-esque.
The word jellicle makes me throw up in my/someone else's mouth. (Depends if anyone is nearby with their mouth open.)
Or if you're at a Phillies game.
Thank you! And it's always Morrisey day. TREACLY MEMMMMRIEEES
Congrats and now I feel extra special that I have a signed copy of your book!
Wait: Will Ferrell and Adam McKay have a person?
Simon Rich, take note.
