Television
I own 2, but I would like a nice, big, new flat screen.
About me: My friends describe me as "fun and lively with a devil-may-care attitude." My enemies describe me as "stupid and shallow." My doctors describe me as "manic-depressive" and/or "a wet blanket."
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Who I'd like to meet: Abraham Lincoln, who did a pretty good job even though he was possibly clinically depressed.
As you may know, I am always trying to improve my show. One of the ways I do this is to regularly develop new material. I apologize that you did not get to see some of the tricks you might have been expecting. After our negative experience performing in China last month, I have decided to remove the "Magical Fist of Oppression" routine from the show altogether. I apologize if you were expecting to see it.
Instead, I inserted the new "Turn into a Chicken Trick" (The real name of the effect is "El Pollo Magnifico"). Sometimes we have to modify the performance space in order to make the trick work. Had I realized at the time that I was in your bungalow and not in a proper theater, I would certainly at least tried to repair the floor but after tour upon tour of $125 birthday parties, the only thing that gets me by is huffing this silver paint. I apologize if this habit may have gotten in the way of using good judgement. Usually I make pretty good decisions when I'm all screwed up on the goofysniff.
Also, I'm sorry that I did not wish you a happy birthday. I was on vacation. Here is a video just for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KtE3iM0Opg
I would like to go ahead and compliment my dog for not destroying my new shoes, even though I accidentally left them where he could find them. I mean, I'm just so proud of him!
Also, I'd like to thank my friend Michael Hitchcock (read: you) for the birthday greetings. As George Bush might say: Thanks for celebrificating my bornfulness!
I got my comedy genes from a great man that taught me to make life as fun as possible, and to get people to smile no matter what their age, situation, or background.
I never grew up having a sense of embarrassment when I'd go into funny mode, because my D.O.D. (Dear Old Dad) showed me not too take one's self too seriously.
He is also a great writer (a hidden talent that not many people knew about), and that has been passed along to ME.
My Dad is one of my best friends.... is this too cheesy!?!
I am writing you from a Tahitian internet cafe. They serve delicious rum drinks here.
Anyway..regarding your bulletin encouraging us to compliment a friend or loved one on your comment section:
I would like to compliment my dog, Garlic, for being so supportive of me during my highly emotional break-up with Stephanie. She just can't keep her panties on around all these handsome athletic native Tahitians. I have caught her cheating on me hundreds of times, but this latest incident I resolved to be the last straw: After a long evening of vampire hunting, I return to my boat to find her porking the bartender of my favorite rum bar. I still love her, but I can't put up with this type of behavior anymore. My dog, Garlic, helps me stay strong and will always love me. You're the best dog ever, Garlic!
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent on your comment section.
When i get back from Tahiti, I would like to make you a Dutch pancake and go for a sail with you.
'til then, make sure you stock up on Holy water because the vampires in Hollywood are more rampant than ever.
So, if you are 45... is it in dog years or people years? After seeing the episode of "MAD" and the rice and beans tour for the 3,924 time, I am moving out of Oklahoma. I cringed over Branson, Mo.. and I thought Arkansas was a pretty cool stop.. but Muskogee... ??? It was enough to make Merle Haggard turn over in his grave. (if he was dead and if he cared at all about Muskogee) I still love you. Rachel Shay (far from Muskogee, OK)
I would like to say that My indentured man servant Benny has a great smile. Just think 7 more short years and then he gets a piping hot bowl of freedom. Hold the crackers of course.
I gave birth three times and all I got were these three lousy kids...
Naaaah! My daughter and two sons are the best pals ever. They can recite Seinfeld, SpongeBob, and Cheap Seats lines at the drop of a hat and can make me laugh like no other human beings can!
Dear Michael Hitchcock, as my myspace friend (ie stranger) I think you will want to know that I'm reading from my new novel AWESOME at Book Soup on Saturday, August 9, at 5PM. Please come out and say hello! I have invited Jerry Lewis as well. If you know the Gilmore Girls, please escort them to the reading.
It's your birthday! Go crazy! Party like a rock star! Or just sit around in your underwear and watch TV (if you choose the latter, you should totally make that your profile picture!)
