Are you a fan of Sandler’s stand-up comedy? What about his comedy albums, likeThey’re All Gonna Laugh at You,What’s Your Name, andShhh… Don’t Tell. I can still remember when Sandler’s albums played on every stereo and Walkman around my middle school. Kids loved to pretend they were Sandler’s foul-mouthed Goat character. Boy, those were the days, eh?
