grocery stopping


I was asked to sign a petition outside of the grocery store. And I was like, "only if it's for a cause that’ll let me bother you when you’re voting."

The Number 23 - coincidence?


The world spins on an axis of 23 degrees.
Caesar was stabbed 23 times.
Kurt Cobain was born in 1967 and died in 1994. 1+9+6+7=23 and 1+9+9+4=23.
The invasion of Iraq began on 3/20, 2003 at 2:30
The date 9/11/2001...9+11+2+1=23
2 divided by 3 =.666…
The Hiroshima bomb was dropped at 4:19. 4+19=23

vice precedent

ESPN is always broadcasting the World Series of Poker. And I'm sorry, but poker is NOT a sport. Poker is gambling, and gambling is a vice. What vice centered event is the next big thing? E-quipped Productions is working on some ideas to pitch to ESPN:

The Superbowl of Chain Smoking
World Cup of Booze
Prostituition 500
US Open Relationship
Recreational Drug Derby (the White Pony always wins, by a nose)

Carlos "Menstealia"

"Comedian" Carlos Mencia has long been labled as a joke thief. I think he's been lifting the wrong bits because his act has never been funny to me. Carlos is so Mexican that he's too lazy to steal good jokes.

At any rate, comedian Joe Rogan finally confronted Mencia this week at the Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip. As expected, someone in the crowd caught the footage, and even edited a 5 minute video completely exposing Carlos "Menstealia".

one small step for women

Astronaut Lisa Nowak drove for 1,000 miles wearing a diaper to avoid any bathroom breaks on her trek to confront and kidnap a romantic rival. That is my kind of woman--14 hours of driving and not one pee-stop. Take note ladies, because the bar has been raised.
