A couple of Spookymilk Survivor players wrote baseball-related stories this week and got me anxious for the season. What is it, 85 days now?
Dave Chappelle – Killin’ Them Softly
the first two people that made me truly interested in stand-up as a medium were probably chris rock and this young man here, dave chappelle:

definitely NSFW, and maybe some of the material could run up against some established lines here... well, comedy isn't pretty.

January 8, 2011: Surprise, Surprise
The show's postponed (many reasons were given, but...well, I've heard the language they're using before). I think I'm a couple weeks from not being able to get a hold of the producers easily anymore, and a month from the email that lets us all officially know it's dead. I hate this game.
Granted, the "door is still open" for starting in March. I just don't think that'll happen.
Woody Allen – 1965
So, jobu and I decided to do a week of stand up comedy. This might be a terrible idea.

Woody Allen is probably more responsible for my sense of humor than any other comedian you will see this week, Matt Capps excepted.
