Eating It and Liking It

Many thanks to those who braved the cold to come out to Luna Lounge last night. It was a great show and I was glad be part of it. It was nice to have some familiar faces in the front row. Special thanks to the guy in the audience with the phenomenal bellowing laugh. You sure know how to make a comedian feel like his pursuits are worthwhile.

Speaking of shows, this is a busy week for me. There is a rejection show on Wednesday. Go check out the info on the Jon Friedman link over there --->

Also on Thursday I’m doing more comedy of the stand up variety at the telephone bar. Info on that is available at: http://localcomedian.com/tbar/index.html

Both shows ought to be nothing short of spectacular.

Exree Hipp (my NYUPBL team) has another game tonight. We’re playing the Usual Suspects. I think a big key to the game will be whether Kevin Spacey brings his Verbal Kint gimp game or his intimidating, able-bodied Kaiser Solce game. Last week we crushed a team called Chocolate Thunder. There were differing opinions prior to the game as to what race the majority of the players on Chocolate Thunder would be. Ironically enough, they were all white. I’m sure they get a kick out of that every time they see their name in print (including on the back of their jerseys which they paid extra money for- not to mention did on their own time.) It’s really funny because Chocolate Thunder was Darryl Dawkins’ nickname and he was an explosive, black player best known for shattering the glass of the backboard with the force of his ferocious dunks. So when you see Chocolate Thunder as your opponent you might think that the team is comprised of powerful black guys and then seven hardly conditioned white guys show up. The joke though ends up being on them, as they get run off the court because they suck. Nice try though fellas, you almost psyched us out.

Some people keep film and or batteries in their fridges in order to preserve them. I think this is dangerous. A drunken snack or just a late night groggy one could easily turn into a disaster with such inedible foods in an appliance renowned for housing stuff you eat. Isn’t battery acid lethal if ingested? I think that then and there should be sufficient grounds for keeping it out of your fridge. You can buy new batteries for one dolla from the nice Asian lady on the train. The extra battery life is not worth the potential human life. It’s too risky. Especially when you take into account that late at night AA batteries look remarkably like half packs of Rolos still in the wrapper. I know what you’re thinking, nobody would ever be able to eat just half the pack, Rolos are far too deliciously irresistible. You're right, that's a tough point to contest.

I’m going to go try to hunt down a pack of Rolos before I take my basketball t-shirt/jersey to the Mat. The hand soap/shower home wash didn’t really do the trick last week. Have a Tuesday and a half.
