Had to leave my home, them fuckas cramped and tried to carve me, now I lamp in California rocking a cape made of armies.

About me: There are more than enough clowns and entertainers in this world so I don't think of myself as either. If the truth is funny to you come check me out. And if you believe that "The Truth" changes day to day and depends strictly on who you're talking to at the time, then you really need to come see me because we're halfway to being friends already.
Who I'd like to meet: Bill Cosby, George Carlin, Dave Chapelle, Patrice O'neal, David Fincher, Doug Stanhope, anybody working on the Farallon Islands, Vince Morris, and people who understand that "serious" jokes are the funniest.
Grab it! Graaaab it!! Hey, I think we should get some plastic or something. Those... I guess you can say leaks are tooo much but then again it is your fault!
