The man is a genius. I wonder how he is able to hold a flawless conversation between several of his own personas and callers. Having confessed his brilliance, I never listen to him for more than a few minutes. His style of humor takes advantage of the gullibility and self rightuous indignation of dimwits. Not funny to me. Can't say that I will miss him. His work is troubling and pointless.
Or, perhaps my puritanical viewpoint is too shallow to appreciate him. Perhaps he is a social commentarian of such depth, wisdom and satire that his work is beyond me. Dunno. What do you think, Amos?

Yes, sometimes it sounded like there was a fine line b/n comedy and taking advantage of people.

Although occaisionally he let a caller, usually a woman, know that it was a put on.

Or do you think it was callers like I might be who play along with him. I mean who in their right mind would think that an interview with a convicted pedophile wanting to get a job in a day care could be serious... He was funny for an hour a so ever so often, but it sometimes coud get boring.

Cyril Crunderhopper here. Speaking as the Civil Defense Sergeant Major of Between, Georgia, I can assure you that WE HAVE EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL! I've broken in to all 12 houses in the town of Between, and taken everyone's food and beer to a location in my fridge where I can dole it out to people for low prices. It's my new plan to ration things out when emergencies like this pop up.
