This is great, but there had to have been someone there better to interview than a guy named "Zool."

You are Zuul? I am the Gatekeeper.
Wow, what a dorky post, but that's where my brain went.

Hey, the guy's the Gatekeeper of Gozer. Have a little respect.
Definitely worth $620 mil. As far as marble-clad holes in the ground go, a bargain at twice the price.
And how did you manage to get a camera in that joint? I tried taking pictures and even with my "PRESS" card stuck in my fedora, security hustled me off and beat me unconscious with Barney Frank's 18" black strap-on mule.

Stupid straightie. Us 'mos know the way to get cameras in is through the Larry Craig gloryhole and back 'play area'. But that marble is a bitch to drill through.

Doesn't take much to set Zool's waterworks off. Try watching Old Yeller with him. You'd think he'd shot the bitch himself.

Excuse me. Where's the bathroom?

There is no Dana! Only Zuul!!!!

WTF? Where the f**k is the f***ing Senate Navy Bean Soup, f***ers? Goddamit, I'm blocked up and I need BEANS!

Try my Famous AMOS Female Crab soup.

No soup for you!

If this is "a small taste of things to come," might I suggest fewer weepy Zools and more hideously augmented blondes in booty shorts?
No? Alright then.

Ohh this Zool guy is a piece of work.
Highlight:
"About six weeks ago, Zulkowitz, once again, using a tried and true LaRouche tactic, the death threat, came after me. I learned, one again from a reliable source, that Zulkowitz had made it known that he is in the possession of a Magnum 357 with which he intends to shoot me. And, since the informant is a politically experienced person not given to mak-
Ing practical jokes, when he unsmilingly repeated Zulkowitz’ threat, I reported it to the NYPD."

Honestly, RJ, who HASN'T threatened a peacenik with a 357 now and again. Keeps'em jumpy.

Huh - maybe LaRouche is also a minion of Gozer and that's how he recruits his supporters.
