Oh hey, I just remembered that I have a Formspring.me account. Yes, again. C'mon, it's not my fault that I keep forgetting about it. I only get one question every 2 weeks so I've been saving them. Let's dive in and see what is in my bag:

1) WHY IS EVERYTHING INFINITELY MORE AMUSING IN CAPS LOCK AND WITH NO PUNCTUATION (via Herbertina Merrique)

BECAUSE CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL AND WRITING A WALL OF TEXT WITH ALL CAPS AND NO PUNCTUTION AND MULTIPLE MISPELLS IS A GREAT WAY TO CONVEY A) CRAZINESS B) LOUDNESS C) LAZINESS THE END

2) do you prefer eddie izzard with or without makeup? (via an anonymous coward)

Great question. I'm a huge fan of Eddie Izzard, a British comedian who used to do his comedy act as an "executive transvestite". Seriously, if you haven't watched his stand up special "Dress to Kill" then why are you still alive? It's easily in my top 5 comedy performances ever along with Mitch Hedberg's "Mitch All Together", Lewis Black's "Rules of Enragement", Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and Kathleen Madigan's "In Other Words" (don't judge me!).



Back to the question though, yes Eddie Izzard was obviously better with the makeup. He's not as funny without it. It's almost as if the heel gave him the funny, like Samson's dreadlocks. I can think of only one time where he was funny without the dress, make-up and high heels on and that was twelve years ago in Mystery Men when he played Tony P. And then you have to admit that his outfit was pretty flamboyant.

It feels like in recent years he has been drawn to more serious roles, like "The Riches" and is actively trying to run away from comedy, which is a big mistake. As a serious actor he is extremely average. Almost forgettable. For instance, his Twitter feed is nothing but where he is currently at and what his jogging schedule is. There are much better uses of Twitter, my friend. However, as a comedian he is one of the best of all time.

So, yes. Eddie needs to put the heels back on and make with the funny.

3) is the cake a lie? (via Missy Grace)

The cake is in a constant quantum flux between the truth and a lie. Pie, on the other hand, is as honest as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln combined.

Ok, so there you go. Got more questions for me then drop by FormSpring.me and ask away. I'll try not to forget this time.
