I think this delightful crank is actually another of Gilda Radner's SNL
characters, Emily Litella. Roseanne Roseannadanna (sp.?) was the Radner
character who kept discussing things like zits and basic bodily functions
(and their malfunctions!) in minute and revolting detail and then saying,
"It's always something." I loved both characters and thought Gilda Radner's
death was a major loss to the entertainment world. Funny lady with a lot of
class. Thanks for the reminder.
