-Tom who can't divorce the word "teetotaling" from the mental image of WC Fields. Apparently I am 96 years old.

The fact that this speaks to me so strongly (while you are busy being ironic/playful/whimsical) frightens me more than the knowledge that I might be out of gin at home.

Billy James is only as ironic/playful/whimsical as you think he is.

I'll let you draw the line whether it's absurd or moving, I just write the stuff and read it.

Less Spinal Tap, more Andy Kaufmann I suppose.

Tony Clifton, actually.

Channeling a sociopathic Fred Rogers.

Billy has been stuck on this same shirt for a while now. I used to enjoy seeing the entire range of New Wave Cowboy fashion.

That was the range.

I tend to record these things in batches, that's why you see the same shirt several installments in a row.

What? Installments? Not off the cuff cowboy poetry? No open mike every Friday night? No quick changes even in the midst of faux beat-improv? I'm aghast! Agog! Agape!

Batches? We don' need no steenkin' batches.

Yeah, he should at least change mustaches or something
