by way of full disclosure

Schadenfreude'a been there. Big Fun.

Dateline: Santa Cruz civic auditorium 10-26-2008 7:30 PM
Davis Sedaris begins the evenng with this Ogden Nash worthy riff;
In the spirt of full disclosure its a current New Yorker piece as well.
He held forth and we howled for couple of hours and it was good.
