Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung

Weird Al Yankovic with an irreverent look at infirmities.
One must remember that irreverence is one of the main
pillars of comedy, making fun of yourself and others is a
howl if done properly.
There’s a fine line there, lets tickle it and see what happens…

Charlie

A superb piece of stand-up comedy from Cy Amundson.
He’s a story teller of the top shelf kind, nobody better, or
more interesting, at laying it all out.
I love playing him on the show…

You Lucky, Lucky Bastard

A thoroughly splendid scene from Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
Terry Gilliam plays the twisted half naked guard, Graham Chapman
is Brian, and Michael Palin is the prisoner on the wall.
I quote this movie, and this scene, quite often.
Especially that line at the heading…

Disney World in August

The late, great John Pinette with a look at heat, humidity,
horrible crowds, and a mouse.
I have been to Florida in a sweltering heat, with humidty
that made my face melt, not my idea of a fun time.
Never mind standing in line for an overpriced kiddie ride.
Better him than me…
