Authors Chip Rossetti (book) and David Javerbaum (book and lyrics) also made sure to include Lotts of love interest. (That was a horrible pun. Take a whole bunch of them, add panty hose, and you've caught the essence of "Up Your Ante!") Slutty Mona Lott hits it off with Collier Bluff (Todd Forman), the dorky Tropicana dealer who "doesn't know his ace from a hole in the ground." Compulsive name-dropper Liza Lott goes for compulsive gambler Roland Dice (Don Davis). Screechy Cara Lott goes for geeky Brandon Ewday (Ian Henderson...

...flamboyantly effeminate faggot, I appreciate the length (no pun intended, OF COURSE) of time and energy you have so diligently devoted to me and my fellow sisters (is that an oxymoron?).

(The title of the frankly phallic piece is a pun on objet d'art, substituting the French word for dart.) In a matter of seconds, bids for the 8-in. work soared into six figures in a battle between two unseen telephone bidders. The winning offer: $135,000 from a Belgian art dealer...

...black pepper and the cheapest vinegar you can buy. At the grocery store, he waits patiently in line to buy swordfish, but he refuses to purchase any lettuce you cannot toss from home plate to first base. His satiric quips often surface without warning, and nearly two decades of pun drill have honed this trademark skill, allowing him to punctuate any point with a snappy one-liner: "This country is so urbanized we think low-fat milk comes from cows on aerobic exercise programs." But beneath this talent is an immense desire to succeed. Perhaps O'Rourke's troubled childhood...
