      We get this thing called a Meowbox, and it came with a little cowboy hat this month. I was so excited, but my wife had no idea what I was going on about when I put it on and said, "hated it!"

    Okay... David Alan Grier is just cold-bloodedly the funniest guy. Period. His sense of timing and dead-pan is laser sharp. There is only one person - on earth - who could pull off Al Simmons, the man with no soul. I have been a fan for a very long time. If he came anywhere near my area, I would definitely be there. Super fans indeed. Awesome video and the best guest yet.
