SNL Dakota Fanning Skit (Pynchon mention)

[Will Layman]

Sam, if you want to avoid a little friendly ribbing, then you  
shouldn't speculate about the painfully obvious.  Sometimes the  
analysis around here gets silly, and I'm trying to say, brother, that  
speculation that a "child" played by an adult on a scripted comedy  
show had not heard of Pynchon before is sort of like wondering  
whether Lisa Simpson prefers GR or V.

(Clearly she prefers GR.)
