A rather funny slice of a Simpson’s episode that
spotlights my career choice early in life.
Right after “ice cream truck driver” and just before
“astronaut” in the scheme of things for job choices.
Funny how things work, after agonizing what to be
in life I chose something with job security and
benefits that would ensure a more secure future.
Who knew “bearded lady” would pay so well?
There really is a clown college, seriously.
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t look like this one…

Costaki Economopoulos is a pretty talented stand-up comedian.
He is as good as it gets…great material and timing, knows how
to captivate an audience, and is a very intelligent human being.
Not to mention humorous as all hell.
He pontificates on what certain people and societies embrace.
Some great line here…

Jon Lajoie with a pretty nifty ditty about
advertising/product placement and
the ongoing need to survive.
In a nutshell, you have to sell yourself
to make ends meet.
Not a bad effort at all, pretty cool actually.
A very well done video all in all…

A wonderful little diatribe from the late, great
Robbie Benoit.
His was a very interesting life…started in the
Yukon working in the mines, left their to work
with show dogs, eventually winning a blue ribbon
at the Westminster Dog Show with his Komondor,
named Oscar.
He was diagnosed with cancer but continued on
with yet another facet of his career, performing live
reciting stories like this one.
He released a recording called Tall Yukon Tales
in 2004.
Robbie passed away in 2007, he will be missed.
I can relate…

And they bothered the late, great John Pinette as well.
I do miss him, I had been following his career closely,
having been at the CD Release Party at the Montreal
Comedy Festival back in the 90’s and loving every
minute of it.
He went on to be one beloved stand-up comedian.
You don’t truly die until folks stop thinking about you.
I play the material, you do the laughing, they stay alive.
That is how this works.
Some great lines here…(pun intended)
