I am way too versed and brainwashed in the Lennon Sisters and Myron Floren and all the schmaltzy gang. And it also reminded me of the great SCTV parody with John Candy and Eugene Levy, the Schmenge Brothers, with their polka show.<br /><br />Thomas,<br /><br />I said over and over that I knew I would never win a Poodle. I don't rally FakeBook friends or Tweet or send out emails begging for votes. That said, Alderpated won fair and square. But it beggars the imagination, truly and deeply, that anyone, anywhere, who has read them both, decides he is a better writer than Randall Grahm. But I'm certain that the only person alive who cares less about the Poodles than I is Mr. Doon.<br /><br />My Gorgeous Samantha,<br /><br />I'll bring the obscurity if you provide the vomit.
