I’ve tried to get this across on stage, but it’s just not working. Maybe it’ll work better in blog form.
 
In the past year, I’ve seen a lot of people walking around the Empire State Building stop to take pictures of it. They have their little digital camera or their phones out there framing it up. [...]

Enough with Michael Phelps already. 8 gold medals, good for him. Too bad they’re for swimming. Here’s a few things that I’ve read just today about this guy.
 
Could Mark Spitz beat Michael Phelps?
 
Maybe. 30 years ago they didn’t have the coaching and nutritional knowledge that we have today. They also didn’t have space age NASA [...]

I like broccoli. I didn’t used to. When I was a kid, I would gag at the taste of it.
 
“Hey, I made some broccoli covered in cheese.”
“Why would you ruin perfectly good cheese?”
 
Did the broccoli get better or is it just that once you hit 30 those taste buds really kick in? 
 
Maybe when I’m 50 [...]

A comedian friend of mine and his wife friend of mine have an internet radio show called Unholy Matrimony. It’s a funny show and they’ve had some cool guests. One of their last guests was a guy named Owen Biddle from Philadelphia based hip hop group “The Roots”.
 
I thought it was pretty cool because I’ve liked [...]

I really wish that Bigfoot body was real. I have no investment in there actually being a Bigfoot, I just like it when scientists are proven wrong. The science community comes off to me as being very smug when it comes to the nonexistence of mythical creatures. If they were to take the governmental lingo [...]

Okay, I was going to skip today, but had to say something about this Swedish wrestler, Ara Abrahamian, who placed bronze (3rd for us regular people) a few days ago. He felt he was screwed by a bad call in his match that kept him from placing higher. Out of protest at the medal ceremony, [...]

While men in general can be stupid, men who are in horrible shape are so silly. I’ve been a member of several gyms since I was 11, and one of my favorite guys is the fat guy who does a lot of arm work. He’ll spend a decent amount of time benching, but the majority [...]

I don’t like the presidential candidates. I hate stories like “Pregnant man gives birth”. I can’t stand touchy feely stories about people who got into their own messes and complain enough to get legislation passed in their favor.
 
I think I would be much happier if I didn’t pay attention to the news. Scratch that, I [...]

I’m sure everyone’s heard now about the cute little Chinese girl who performed the anthem at the opening ceremonies was really lip synching to the voice of another Chinese girl. The real singer was deemed not attractive enough to do the song. I’m hearing about what an outrage it is that they pulled this bit [...]

If you’re offended by something in a movie, shut your mouth. Tropic Thunder has gotten way too much free coverage because of it’s offensiveness.
 
First it was the Robert Downey Jr. character who is in “blackface”. If you’ve payed any attention to the movie’s promo, you know that they are making fun of the serious actors [...]
