... and, come to think of it, did I even get to speak after the initial "hello"?

That woman can talk.

Besides recommending that I become significantly more gay if I attend her show Nov. 19 at the Morrison Center (oh, boy, I can just imagine the commenters now), Kathy Griffin — who has never performed in Idaho — asked me to print this:

"I have a Boise disclaimer. You have to warn people that there's going to be a lot of cursing and negativity. You have to tell people to leave their bibles at home, leave their g*damn kids at home. This is Mommy and Daddy time — or Daddy and Daddy time. I don't think the people of Boise are prepared for this many p*ssy jokes."

Kathy claimed she was hanging out poolside next to her mansion during our phone interview. I forgot to ask if Paris Hilton was with her. More — much more — in Scene on Nov. 13.
