I'm not going to write about Roy here in the Road Penn. I think you all know that I made fun of their show, and you also know that I feel there is one show business and we're all in it. I was very sad about Roy. If you're wondering why I'm doing all these interviews, well, Bernie, and Siegfried sent word that they wanted me to do them. Lance thanked me and so did Irene Larson. I don't feel I'm the right spokesman, but Bernie and Siegfried on some level thought so, and all I care about in the whole thing is doing what Siegfried wants. I can't imagine what he's going through. So, I did a few interviews.

A few times during the interviews, I talked about how S&R always made me feel like I was letting people down. S&R walked around larger then life and I walk around like a farmer. I go to an opening of a show in clothes that wouldn't stand out if I were pruning a tree with my nephew. So, the interviews were over and I decided to do something about it. I went to Versace and I spent thousands of dollars. I bought leather pants. Real, no kidding around leather pants. And I bought a shirt that was purple and stuff. And I bought some sort of goofy high fashion wind breaker. And then I bought other pants that are stylish and fit me. I promised myself that after I lost weight, I would buy new clothes, but I didn't think I'd go crazy. I went crazy. It felt really stupid, but the clothes are really comfortable, and I don't feel stupid in them. And I have enough pockets in the wind breaker for all my cards and stuff. So, I'm okay. And I walked around like that. Of course I still walk like a farmer, but now I walk like a farmer in leather pants.

Believe me, I'm no threat to Roy, but at least I tried a little. Yup, I'm wearing leather pants.
