The battle of England's flaming wits: Oscar Wilde v.s. Noel Coward

Message Bookmarked

With talk of homos and their gay way of life being all the rage this past weekend, let's take a thread to look past the eating cake and having it too clowning of S.B. Cohen and discuss the genius of these two guys. Do you have a favorite? Have anything insightful, profound or - we are talking about Wilde here - delightfully shallow to say about either of them?

And I probably should've put "British" in the thread title. I forgot Wilde was born in Ireland.
