A Few of My Favorite Things
by Kerry Joyce
Favorite Ex-Beatle
Pete Best – The drummer before Ringo, he’s the only one who permanently avoids the stage and recording studio.
Favorite Way To Die
Lung Cancer – It beats death at an early age from a nicotine withdrawal induced suicide.
Favorite Dead American Writer
Truman Capote – Often imitated but never surpassed by Tom Wolfe or Norman Mailer.
Favorite Living American Writer
None – How can I miss you when you won’t go away?
Favorite sticky carpet movie classic
Anything that combines Phoebe Cates and an “R” rating. Most particularly Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Favorite Ethnic Cuisine
Thai – Can I have extra peanut sauce with that, please?
Favorite Bodily Function
Speech – Shut me up if you’ve heard this one.
Favorite TV Show
Gilligan’s Island – As richly profound as anything by Homer, and with more staying power.
Favorite script writer
You don’t want to know. Quentin rules, you jealous fucks. If only he were a recluse.
Favorite Novel
The Damned by Fyodor Dostoyevsky – Make the effort to read it, and you’ll know why you’re such a loser.
