    Paula at her absolute best

    Paula Poundstone has more or less disappeared in recent years, only appearing in various SquiggleVision shows.

    However, this HBO one hour special is masterful - and also serendipitous, because of an unexpected response from the audience.

    Just to be brief, just be careful who to hire as your lawyer when your mother's face is ripped open on a lube rack...

    Nevertheless, this special won the Ace Award, and deserved it.

    • Quotes

      Paula Poundstone: I'm not keeping canned goods in my apartment for an earthquake! If I get trapped beneath a beam for three days I'm gonna at least lose weight. I don't want them finding me miraculously after three days and saying "Well, Christ, she's huge"..."I was able to get to some beans, thank God."
