About how many can be said cause us to 'lose consciousness' from laughter?
That is how New Yorker writer John Lahr describes below the effect of Dame Edna on him.
And it is the same for me. Dame Edna is my patron saint. She, the giver of laughs, with her sardonic smile and wicked sense of humor, first imprinted my consciousnessness a mere eight years ago. It was the appearance of Jerry Hall in an identically matching dress on Dame Edna's talk show that caused the first loss of consciousness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j327xDa-Txo
Sadly, Dame Edna (Barry Humphries) has begun her farewell tour at the London Palladium......but maybe it will be like Barbra Streisand's farewell tours, of which there have been several.
