I get some expressions. Like the one below. Apes sometimes throw their feces. If you’re acting crazy, it could be said you are acting like a monkey, and, symbollically, hurling feces. This one makes no sense. If someone were blowing smoke up my butt, I’d not only wonder what I was doing wrong, but also wonder why no one else was stopping this other person from doing something else wrong to me.
New segment. Common expressions drawn out hastily by someone who can’t draw very well to their logical conclusions. If you needed that written out, you probably won’t get these. Enjoy!
Did some more standing up and talking and this was a two minute segment from that.
That is all.
Epicness that needs no further explanation.

As most of you know, I do stand up around St. Louis. It’s a lot of fun, and living in a city in which I don’t know that many people, it’s a great way to do my own thing for myself and meet other people.
One of the people I’ve met is Gene Kitsmiller. He’s a nice guy who’s about my dad’s age. He loves old school comedy from the early 80′s, like Seinfeld’s older stuff, Paul Reiser, and a lot of old Jay Leno “observational” type material. Not my style, but hey, it works for him. Anyway, I think he’s had a tough time lately, something about his dad letting him go from their family business to make room for his sister’s boyfriend or something. With more time on his hand, he’s gotten to finally take the plunge and fulfill a dream of his to get on stage, crossing it off his ol’ bucket list. This is maybe his third performance ever, and I think his other two ended with him blacking out and/or throwing up.
I thought he did okay. Check him out here.
That is all.
Different day, same stuff. Lofty. Ambitious. Fitting.
This is epic. Just watch it. Then watch it again just to make sure you got all of it. Cool? Good.
This was the other night at good ole Lemmon’s, where I’ve been doing stand up pretty regularly. I was contemplating not even bringing this up, as I don’t know if I have anything important to add to the conversation, but people listen to stand up to precisely hear what you have to say on big news. And this news was definitely one of the bigger stories ever. Puts that whole Royal Wedding thing in perspective, though.
Although, HOW ABOUT THAT DRESS?! SHE MADE PRINCESS DIANA LOOK LIKE A SYPHILIS-INFESTED VAGRANT MAN! STILL HAVE 15 HOURS WORTH OF COVERAGE!!!
Sorry about the lack of postage, by the way. Not only have I been doing more stand up, but I also landed me one of those full time job things. It’s awesome, and it’s even more awesome having regularly steady income, but sadly, the inane musings of this portly madman are subsequently limited by time constraints. In fact, I have you to thank for my job; I inadvertently included a link to my site in the email that had my resume attached to the company. My resume was good enough, they said, but what got me an interview was that they liked what I had written for you guys. And the rest, as they say, is history.
This marks the second time my professional career has benefited from my pastime exploits online (I was promoted from local to statewide papers at my old job for my work on The Ghost of Roy Hobbs). CHALK ANOTHER ONE UP ON THE BIG BOARD FOR INTERNET TOMFOOLERY!
Keep reading, commenting and such.
