It's called Dick of the Dead and it'll be out in May 2009.
That Jackie Mason line is delicious. For some reason it's reminding me of
the Woody Allen story about the guy who goes to a psychiatrist and says,
"Doc, my brother's crazy, he thinks he's a chicken." And the doctor says,
"Well why don't you bring him in?" and the guy says, "I would, but I need
the eggs."
Good to be with you all --
Doug Barbour, hello!
More soon....
