Just A Minute

After reading this, your other post, and having followed some of your
outraged comments on the blog, I realize it's clear that you have a
deep-seated problem that logic can't even hope to clear up. I won't,
then, waste as much energy as I might have in telling you how utterly
wrong you are.

It's hilarious to read your crudely-constructed sentences, strung
together by inappropriately placed commas, harping on about how
Nicholas can't put a coherent thought of his own together. Good God.
Is your prejudice keeping you from actually listening to the man? Have
you read his books? You claim that he goes on and on about such things
as how he's the main source of comedy, and that he won't stop
reminding us that he was in the Rocky Horror Show. A Google search
through Dean's transcripts will show definitively that neither is
true. The comedy comment is ludicrous, for he never says it. As for
Rocky Horror, the vast majority of the time, someone else (like Paul
or Gyles) always brought it up first, and Nicholas' comments about it
are very short--all he wants to do is keep the game going.

In comedy, Nicholas Parsons HAS had a lot of experience being the
"straight man", but I'm not going to sit here and quote his book at
you. Just because he's not perfect doesn't mean that he's not
brilliant. Saying that you'd be able to do better points firmly to
delusions of grandeur on your part.

talking about some subject or other and talks about being a young TV,
and it takes Nicholas TEN MINUTES to realize that TV stood for
transvestites even though the other panelists were saying it to him
throughout the whole argument and Nicholas was still wittering on
about TELEVISIONS that Kit was dressed as a television, and even AFTER
the realization he was STILL talking about televisions afterwards,
this coming from someone that wouldn't shut up about being in the
Rocky Horror Show.
