I love Sarah's humor but it blew me away that she also loved THANKS - the twisted brilliant TV comedy that I thought I was the only one who saw it. I wish they would put the six episodes out on DVD - thanks to Sarah for keeping the flame lit!

She has to be witty and sarcastic because she so fucking ugly. I'm pretty sure she was the inspiration for SNL's Debbie Downer.
