you're gonna leave all your fans hanging like that?

But how precisely do boneless ears confer an evolutionary advantage? Since no mammals have boned ears, you must be correct.

i wonder if cartilage is denser/tougher than bone while also being more flexible? more density would help it transfer sound more efficiently, no?

Remind me to tell the story in a week assuming the physical symptoms have gone away by then- trust me it's more embarrassing and sort of scary than funny (ok well the first part is funny )

It's amazing how many sex tapes get stolen from the homes of celebrities

Cause you can't move boned ears to hear something coming to eat you.

Whose did I miss? (Crosses fingers)

Got pulled over at a traffic stop last night, blew a .06.

Called up seem people to let them know where it was including my cousin and for some reason he went through it about an hour and a half later and blew a .15. So yeah, he is fucked.

At least you didn't have to blow a 5-0 (although your cousin... not so sure).

oh man

Percentage-wise, it's awful, but there are still a few good ones out there. Louis C.K., Bill Maher, Jim Norton, Doug Stanhope, Louis Katz are some good stand-up comedians. Maher hasn't had an HBO stand-up special in a couple years, though.

That's not what I said. But stand up comedy is most often a reflection of its times.

I think not standing even a small test of time is a sign of suckiness.

And Jesus, Bill Maher and Jim Norton?

My Top 6 (had to add 1)

1. Richard Pryor

I don't have a tops list for this category because my tastes change over the years. As well -- someone starts out fresh or funny and then after a while, you know their shtick... lots of comedians have made me laugh over the years, but they wouldn't all make me laugh today. Carlin and Cosby, Seinfeld, some of the old-timers even... Steven Wright back in the day, Andy Kauffman, i detest letterman as a host, but he had some funny bits back in the day... lots of people have one funny routine or bit. Red Foxx was pretty funny at times. Robin Williams was so fast that sometimes I would just marvel at the speed of his concepts!

His 1971 Topps card with the Phils is a great "in-action" shot, where he's poised to swing the bat I think -- he had a wide distinctive stance noted for that era...

I saw Jim Norton live a few months ago. It wasn't his typical crowd, but still, he was pretty awful. And Crashburn, Doug Stanhope? Whenever I've seen him it's been painful.

My favorite standup comics today are Zach Galifianakis, Louis CK, Dave Attell and Eugene Mirman. I like Michael Showalter too, although his standup is probably my least favorite thing he does.

Tickets go up 33% for the Young Alumni section. :?

Hope Greg Monroe is worth it.

Ghetto supastar, that is what you are
Coming from afar, reachin for the stars
Run away with me, to another place
We can rely on each other, uh huh
From one corner to another, uh huh

This pleases me on multiple levels, but none more than knowing I don't have to do anything else for it in the next month or so. Between working full-time, a summer class at Moravian, and massive amounts of tedious changes to the manuscript, I've become just about completely burnt out over the last month or so. I desperately need a break. I haven't seen more than an inning or two of Phillies baseball this month and my TV hasn't been turned on in about two weeks. I don't think that's healthy for me.

You might want to update your fantasy baseball roster

Why bother? I haven't done it in a couple months. I just haven't had the time for it like I thought I would. I just checked it for the for the first time in several weeks and I see I'm beating you well despite my total non-involvement and half my roster on the DL. How does that make you feel?

It makes me feel confident enough that I will still beat you come Sunday night

Throw down!

two twenties, one five, thirteen ones

I thought I would think my new signature is cool because it has my name in it and it's from one of my favorite movies, but really, it just keeps throwing me off. It's quite dumb that it keeps surprising me.
