Never before had I noticed the eerie similarity of David's oral delivery to Truman Capote's. Or at least to Truman Capote as played by P.S.H.

That's a pretty good Sedaris. Perhaps they could throw in a clip from the Pee Pal story? I mean, who doesn't wanna walk around with a warm bag of urine strapped to their leg?

@MartyPants: How can we be sure that that's not PSH?

@DorothyMantooth: We can't be. There's the rub.

@DorothyMantooth and MartyPants: Well it sure as hell ain't Amy.

Here's the secret: Amy Sedaris is really funny. David Sedaris is perhaps the most boring little piece of heel-crap in America.

@Ian Spiegelman: That point has the makings of an outstanding 15 minute piece on This American Life.

David Sedaris is already a multi millionaire this is bullshit.

@92BuickLeSabre: I am currently writing a truly boring memory to address that very need!

@Ian Spiegelman: Come on! That is blasphemy!

@Tippi from Toronto: What is??

Well I gave you plenty of time to answer. Now it's late and I'm going to sleep. If it was important you can email me. Google me and it comes up.

'Night all.

Hope Sedaris can deliver pizzas better than he can write.

Damn, waited in vain for the part where she says, "I don't have any money, but I'm sure I can find another way to pay you for this big, round, manly pie". Would Sedaris have taken the bait?

@Ian Spiegelman: That DS is boring and crappy. I still weep tears of laughter whenever I read the SantaLand stuff.

@Tippi from Toronto: What on earth taught you to expect more?

@Ian Spiegelman: You lost me. It's late, though, so it's probably my fault.

I saw DS do a reading once, talking about his family's beach house and ice milk. It was damn funny.

@whoneedslight: I think it's the only audio book I have ever listened to more than once.

i went to a ds reading recently, and he was standing in the front door, scanning tickets, wearing an usher jacket. funny how many die hard fans didn't recognize him. when i talked to him he said he needed the extra cash. hilarious.

@Ian Spiegelman: nothing tackier than telling people to google you. could it be that you are a writer, and maybe, just maybe, are less successful than ds?

@tonashideska: who is hope sedaris?

David Sedaris is the only thing that gets me through the long boring roadtrips to visit family without running my car into a ditch and gets me back again without running my car into a ditch. 6 or 8 Black Men is now a Christmas classic, right up there with Rudolph.

I was waiting to hear, "NOBODY KILLS THE MOTHERFUCKIN' ROOSTER!"

I've been to see David Sedaris half a dozen times. Every time I go to one of his signings, he's like, "I recognize you."

I never believe him, but the last time I went to see him, after he signed my book, he said, "Here, I have presents for people I like." So he gave me a camouflage trucker hat that says "I have Dickie-Do disease: My belly sticks out further than my dickie do."

He needs to do like his sister -- develop one annoying character and then play it over and over.

David Sedaris is one of the few people who willingly appear on N(ice)P(olite)R(epublicans) who are worth bothering with. I saw Timothy Olyphant do the 'The Santaland Diaries' Off-Broadway in the mid-90's and that was my first, marvelous introduction to Sedaris. I went to a reading in Austin and he was tremendously funny.

@gwendolyn: Yup, I am having trouble understanding how anyone could consider him boring and crappy.

David Sedaris is the one author who can make me laugh until I cry.

I love the Rooster.
