« Previous EntriesLost & Disgraced Artforms
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009While waiting for a subway at 125th Street, I saw a man in what appeared to be his mid-30’s practicing the steps to his tap-dancing routine. I had never seen this in person. In fact, I would argue that as a whole, the tap-dancing art has taken a rather drastic drop in the last 25 […]
THE SOUP: Hypnotized Dog
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009Seattle boy Joel McHale lifted my heart tonight with this wonderful little video about a food-crazy hound who did all that it could, to be good.

I am a really big fan of the question “what’s wrong with you?” because right off the bat, it puts you, the question-asker, in the power position. Not many questions […]
I pick up things off the street; Vol 1
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009Here is something I found yesterday (Jan 27th) at around 2:15pm sitting on top of a shelf as I passed by on the escalator below Madison Square Garden at Penn Station.
Jealous much?
“Shining”
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009I just watched the classic Stanley Kubrick horror flick this last weekend and I figured it was time to put one of my favorite YouTube clips up here at the happy good-times joy fun blog.
LOVES IT!!

If you ever wonder why the rest of the world hates us all in the Western Hemisphere, you need look no further than your local department stores sleepwear department.
Pajamas.

Really fun old Tonight Show clip
Sunday, January 18th, 2009I read about this in Rickles book. Never bothered to try looking it up because I was sure it would be a lost cause, but sure enough, here it is!
Enjoy!
Where I was tonight
Sunday, January 18th, 2009Lewis was great. I’ve never been a huge Belzer fan. Tonight didn’t change that. But Lewis? Superb.

Thursday, January 15th, 2009I suck at writing by hand now.
Using the computer daily has destroyed me in that way. Whenever someone wants me to write down info or jot them a note on the spot, I’m worthless.I’m sure that I am not the only one who has discovered this about themselves.
I think that annoying, increasingly common trait would […]
You DIDN’T win
Thursday, January 15th, 2009If you are in a public place and you find yourself entered into a prize-granting raffle with the others occupying the area, not only is it terribly unfunny to stand-up & go “WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! YEAAHHH!!! I’M THE MAN!!!!!” while pointing down at yourself when someone ELSE’S name gets called as the winner, but it also makes […]
See Dad…I listen!

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009Hey friends!
The below video isn’t from my FINEST set as far as jokes, attitude…or really anything is concerned. But I wanted to put up a video and this one was selected. I also like the crowd for the most part. Good laughers. About 150 stuck around for me. Good for them!
Enjoy!

I’m better than this
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009“You’re better than that.”
This is what I was told recently. That I was better than how this person was at the time viewing me. It is perhaps the biggest non-compliment around. “You’re better than that” is supposed to be taken graciously and thoughtfully as an opprotunity to look at yourself and perhaps reevaluate what you […]
