Hey Hollywood! Isn't it about time you had some entertainment?
For too many people in this town (Los Angeles), their lives are their work. And recent studies show that upwards of 85% of people in Los Angeles work in the coal mines. Well, grab a wet nap, wipe away the grime, and practice laughing - it's comedy time!
Tonight, at 10pm at the Improv Olympic West, the B-Team will be performing a fantastic sketch comedy show! Hailed by both the LA Times and Backstage West, this show is sure to please if you're the type that's pleased easily!
Most importantly, a big fat industry fatcat fancypants from the Aspen Comedy Festival will be there, judging our every move with his beady little eyes. So the more people we have in the audience laughing, the better we can pull the wool over his eyes.
So come on, Hollywood! Put down your Miner's Helmets and put on your party hats! It's B-Team Time!
The B-Team
Fridays in October at 10pm
Improv Olympic West at 6636 Hollywood Blvd

Well, back when i was freelance writing, I decided to drop the excellent web site Obscure Store a letter thanking them. They compile the best of the "weird news" type items every day - a godsend for joke writers. This was perhaps a year and a half ago.
The good news is - Obscure Store finally got around to reading my letter. And then they put it on their site the other day.
The bad news - I'm trying to get a job from a certain late night talk show, and I found out that everybody on staff saw my little message. So I look like a complete and udder goober now.
Check it out yourself - you'll have to scroll down.

Well, the site is, pretty much, done now. Photos are available, links are there... the art gallery is still wonky, and I need to put more stuff under "Etc" but you get the gist of it. Thanks for all of your patience, and I hope you enjoy it.
Any requests? Complaints? Revisions? Typos? Hobos? Yohos? Mumus? Let me know.

As man of you know, I used to write for the New Tom Green Show before it got unceremoniously canned by MTV. Now I lick the bottom of dumpsters hoping that some small speck of nutrients have accumulated in the cracks. If only it weren't so!
Well, maybe I can do more than cry into my spilt, spoiled, two-weeks-past-experation-date milk. A group of well meaning, we-can-change-the-world type kids have mobilized to bring the show back in an admirable, if inevitably doomed, effort. Check it out, revel in their can do spirit. You might even want to print a few stickers up. They're pretty stylish.

A few weeks back, I saw Angelyne under the harsh lights of supermarket. She was honestly the most frightening thing I have ever seen in my life. She had obviously had numerous plastic surgeries, and her face looked like a lump of play-doh upon which several inches of industrial-strength make-up had been clumped. And she squeezed her body into a series of pink clothes that might fit a Barbie Doll, but certainly not her.
The good news? I lost my appetite and bought significantly less food.

What happens when a french viola player reveals his or her instrument with a flourish? Do they actually say "Voila, viola!". I want to know.

All I'm saying is, if you're a girl that I used to date, please, don't tell me about your drug-fueled lesbian group sex weekend. I frankly don't want to hear about it.

Feeling a little sickly today. I blame Arnold for it. I blame him for everything.
Today my "friendster" count officially rolled over into the triple digits. I was resisting this for a long time. I feel like friendsters in the hundreds is a little too decadent. But then again, when some person who was a roomate of somebody you knew in college asks you to join up... well, it's easier to click yes than to explain to them how you want to keep your Friendsters limited to a small, select group.
No fakesters on my list, though. Opus is keepin' it real.
