On the girls who are with those hot guys:
“…Depending on what the girl looks like, I’ll just fight her”
::
On NPR:
“They should defunct that. What is this, Russia? … “

UPDATE: REAL OR FAKE? We’ve all been wondering if this was a joke. Finally, there’s proof. It was Kate James of Chicago area sketch comedy ensemble Schadenfreude. Well done, Kate.
