YouTube Clip Of The Day

10:07AM Jess McGuire | Guess what? I can’t stop watching clips of Janeane Garofalo on YouTube. I don’t know how this started, I really don’t. I mean, she’s awesome, but still.

That’s why I feel like I’m being punked. I feel like the creators are going to make me say things that cause my sphincter to tighten.” More »
