Getting a phone call from Renee.
Louise Gluck, especially if she is wearing large sunglasses. Anyone who would like to give me a 75 gallon aquarium. I like nice people, but mean people are usually funnier, especially after multiple beers. I prefer leftists, and people who incorporate 'motherfucker' liberally into casual speech. I think that smart trumps funny, but only in certain situations; a winning combination of the two is certainly ideal. Style definitely does not trump substance, unless you are Gertrude Stein, in which case you could get away with it.
