    C’mon, where’s our Larry King monkey picture?

    Didn’t King, McCain and Marconi used to hang out together back in the day?

    Is he still alive?

    Larry hasn’t lost a beat since then. Still sounds like a self-absorbed, softball-pitching asshole. Tonight, for the hour! Loni Anderson!

    Was he breaking into some kind of impromptu radio drama or something?

    “This is Larry King signing off. Tune in again tomorrow for our next exciting installment of the ‘The Pro-fessional’ - a story about a parched man, a desert, a farmhouse, and a breeze that is sometimes becomes a hurricane.”

    Welcome to the Don and Mike Show, circa 1996.

    (sigh) I miss me some D&M.

    Suspenders of disbelief.

  11. I really miss Larry’s column in the USA Hooray. Remember it? It was a surreal collection of stream-of-consciousness. Something like: “They don’t make movie stars like Corey Haim anymore…You know what’s a good sandwich? Peanut butter and fiberglass insulation on Masonite…For my money, it doesn’t get any better than Estelle Getty…Tom Cruise is the most down-to-earth heterosexual you’ll ever meet…Nothing like a tall Clamato and paint thinner to end the day…”
    And so on.
    It was great.

    FMA: News McNuggetshad to quit running Larry’s column because they ran out of ellipses. You’ve got his “style” nailed.
