Because They Really Suck!
His words, not mine, but I do get it.
Gus and the Snowmen, aka Jim Riffel,
with a jaded, but not inaccurate, look at
life in general.
He states his case with style…

YSAC with a yummy recipe for toast that is
eaten by French people everywhere.
Probably about as much as Italian people
who eat pizza, and Chinese folks who nibble
on fortune cookies, and Scottish gits who
wolf down Haggis.
We Americans have a tendency of creating a
fast food, with barely any nutritional value
whatsoever, and then assigning a country of
origin to it, probably for purposes of
deflecting blame once it’s discovered that it
doesn’t really qualify as an edible to begin with.
French Toast is essentially cooked bread, loads
of maple syrup, and lots of profanity.
My mother swore an awful lot when cooking
this stuff, not sure why, probably had to do
with the flames, smoke and third degree burns.
My mother was not a great cook.
This guy is, that’s what’s important…

Ahmed Ahmed was the founder and original member
of the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour that first launched
back in 2005.
A truly impressive set of comedians, put together to
combat the stereotypes and prejudice of a post 9-11
America.
They were either the offspring of people that were
from the middle east that settled down in the United
States, or were themselves from that part of the
world and became naturalized American citizens.
I play this particular piece on the show, it’s funny and it
informs the listener as to what the comedians experience
living in American as middle-easterners.
Funny and informative, gotta love it…

A humorous little ditty by Paul and Storm.
Two of the four original members of
Da Vinci’s Notebook, Paul Sabourin and
Greg “Storm” DiConstanzo went on to
create very entertaining works as a duo.
This one rings true, any day now we’ll
start hearing any number of tired relics
from an era way gone by on the radio
reminding us of the impending holiday and
to buy as much as possible so that we may
prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we
truly do appreciate our loved ones.
It’s a toss-up between Little Drummer Boy
and White Christmas as to which wretched
and overplayed tune from Hell I’ll finally
snap from and starting taking down any
and all shoppers at the local Walmart
with a fully loaded manure shovel.
Could be me…

I probably should have waited to post this classic
comedy sketch from Monty Python, it’s a great
X-mas post for sure, but I has a hankering.
This piece is brilliant on many levels.
The biggest part of the joke is that it was Leonardo
da Vinci that painted the Last Supper and not
Michelangelo, having flubbed the initial request
of painting a realistic setting by the pope.
A true classic in every sense of the word, some
historic lines in this one, immensely quotable…
