Gotta give 'em the punchline

Gawker passes along the latest lighthearted quip from noted actor, director, and lice-bus Vincent Gallo:

"You tell that hamhock Roger Ebert he could lose 30 pounds a day for the next four years and still be fat. As for the curse on his colon, what I actually said was that I put an unremovable black magic curse on his prostate, which will enlarge into a large cancerous ball by the fall... I want to challenge that fat cow to an IQ test. I bet him $1 million dollars to take a public IQ test against me. By the way, tell him I also put a curse on Siskel."

But she leaves out Ebert's response:

"I wish Mr. Gallo a speedy recovery."

Say what you want about Ebert, but that's some kinda class right there.

He looks like David Koresh -- except sleazier.

Gallo's a dead ringer for Jeff Lynne, only with more lice.

Scary.

I unerstood that Ebert had also made some remark regarding the curse on his colon thing; he said that he'd been shown part of his colonoscopy, and it was a sight more entertaining to watch than Brown Bunny.
