text: thoughts on stephen lynch? funniest man with a guitar in his hands?   stephen lynch is absurdly funny.  i would go as far to say he is my favorite comedian period.  some of his stuff is absolutely classic, but even the weakest can draw a smile from me.  if you are well versed in history, you pick up on a lot of allusions (thomas jefferson, in vanilla ice cream, refers to his alleged affair with a slave).  and so on.  it is too bad he isn't more well known.
