...sight gags in Lulu are best. In one lively scene, Lulu routs the duchess by prancing into Marcel's bedroom flailing a pair of fireworks sparklers; in another, an impassioned lover avidly kisses Lulu's clothed arm to the elbow, then fastidiously spits out the green fuzz...

Will anyone come to the alumni football movies any more? Will this mean I won't get to see Sam and Harry, especially Sam's wife with the golden fuzz on her arms? And what about that deal I was going to push through with George, my own class-mate? How can I reach him any more, what with no way to break the ice?

...then he tries to score. So they fall up to the main man's pad, and before you can blast a joint, everybody is tuned in. The main man offers him a pop of H, but this kid ain't dry-he's a plainclothes fuzz. And the next day, when it's time to deliver the stuff, there's a shuffle that's very tough toenails for the busters. Be there with your bear, and if you don't flip I'm sorry, man. It's terrible...
