Now that's funny. After the bit about Michael Bolton, I was waiting for a riff on Celine Dion. Wasn't it you, Ed, who said that Celine Dion is Canada's payback to America for years of acid rain? And that now, we owe Canada a lot more acid rain.

(Insert rimshot here)

Okay, that thing about Celine Dion is just about the funniest thing I've read in a while.

And that Chapter is really good too.

O.K.

So we did inflict Celine Dion on you. That was uncalled for.

But doesn't Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Sarah McLachlan, and Diana Krall make up for some of that??

And do note that Courtney Love is all yours.

LOL. Yes, the Celine Dion line is mine. That book was written before Celine Dion had truly achieved Succubus-level infamy; had it been written more recently, I'm sure he would have savaged her. Queenan is far and away my favorite writer humorous writer. Even when I disagree with him completely, it's still fun to see him go at someone with a pickaxe.
