Humor/Comedy Favorites of the RAH Writers:

For the duration of the 1994 RAH Reader Survey, we'll be providing
you with the survey responses of several RAH Writers.  This month,
the survey responses of Greg Borek:

Your favorite stand-up comedian: George Carlin - A mean, cynical
surly old coot. (Greg can probably identify because he is a mean,
cynical surly young coot - Ed.) 

Your favorite comic actor: Christopher Lloyd - does the most
convincing clinical insanity (Ibid - Ed.)

Your favorite comic actress: Valerie Bertinelli, closely followed by
Marilu Henner.  Some people might actually like to see that.

Your favorite comedy movie: Kermit the Frog Goes Crazy-ape Bonkers
With His Drill & Set - I'm not sure where I saw this but the visual
experience was stunning.

Your favorite comedy television show: Monty Python's Flying Circus -
No other program has the quality, variety, or staying power.
Excellent all around.  Nothing else comes close.

Your favorite humorous novel: "Coffee, Repartee, and the Idiot"
(1899).  An obscure book about life in a boarding house where the
Idiot wins all tests of wits. 

Your favorite comic book: Marvel's The Avengers - This is a qualified
vote because I have never read two consecutive issues.  This makes
any sort of plotline impossible to follow.  Stan Lee is an artistic
God. 

Your favorite humor columnist: Dave Barry, closely followed by P.J.
O'Rourke.  Barry does it every week but O'Rourke's "Parliament of
Whores" qualifies him for sainthood.                            {RAH}
