Tom Waits on Tom Waits
One of my favorite questions and responses from the interview.
Q What remarkable things have you found in unexpected places?
A: 1. Real beauty: oil stains left by cars in a parking lot. 2. Shoeshine stand that looked like thrones in Brazil made of scrap wood. 3. False teeth in pawnshop windows in Reno, Nevada. 4. Great acoustics: in jail. 5. Best food: Airport in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 6. Most gift...
Funny Knockout
I successfully got the first Funny Knockout* over the phone today when I made a quip that propelled Hunter’s soda from his mouth in what we like to call in the comedy biz, a spit take. I heard it over the phone, it was like angels singing.
*A Funny Knockout occurs when the other person hits the floor or in Hunter’s case, spits his food and/or coffee into a napkin (usually one of the...

First off they have their assistant's grandma in the studio. So Ken tells Andy to spit his gum out and Andy complains, the grandma then tells him to spit it out rather forcefully. She then goes...
Grandma Phyllis: "It actually happens to be one of things that drives me insane. To see someone chewing like a cow."
Andy: "you know what makes me insane...BIGOTRY. So i guess my standards are a little different. You guys are worried about chewing gum and Im worried about people hating eachother because of their ethnic group, or race, or gender, or sexual orientation. I'm sorry thats what bothers me"
Grandma Phyllis: " Well, I'm talking about the little things".
Ken: (sarcastic) "Andy's going to be speaking later at the Tolerance Institute in New York City"
Andy: "Well I'm not going to the one in New York City because they have a Spic working there."
Pictures with my new camera....
Some pictures taken with my Kiev 4 (Communist) 35mm camera. My scanner can’t quite handle the shadows so bare with me. Im trying to find a better way to get these into my computer without having to buy a new scanner. I’ll put more up as I get them into the computer.

Some of the wacky New Zealand names crack me up. My favorite name, Number 16 Bus Shelter…no joke, thats a kids name. Either that one or Sex Fruit.
Update: I saw this on the Tumblr front page and got really excited because I thought it was mine, turns out it was just some other ass hat that posted it. “I can’t get no respect”
Homeless Hustlers
From Dean’s blog: “ Hey! I knew you was in town. Jason Bourne, right? Want some peanuts? - A homeless guy I met on the street today
From Me:
I found this funny because yesterday Greg and I were outside and were getting hustled by this homeless guy, maybe not home-less, but -less of some sort, holding an empty Mega Gulp cup. As I sat in my car waiting for Greg, watching him get hustled...

Calling the internet by a slightly goofy, slightly different name (ex: Interweb, Internets, etc) and having That be the joke…the whole joke.
“The court concluded: ‘Although the evidence did not reveal whether it was the defendant or Cheesecake who had fired the shot that fatally injured the victim, the jury reasonably could have determined that there was sufficient concert of action between the defendant and Cheesecake to support the accessory allegation.’”
