Sweet Dick Hall in Return to the Laugh Shop
This is where it all began...my inaugural performance was at the Laugh Shop. Great crowd. Fell back on the Dick jokes and the drunken baby theme. Lots of new material in the works.

Rework of "Drunken Babies". Didn't make the cut. Who knew that there are funnier people out there?!

This is work! I didn't know work could be fun!
So I'm working on my routine for tonight. I have 5 minutes. I have to start strongly and I have to finish strongly...makes sense. Five minutes isn't very long, so you'd think it would be relatively easy. It is not.
I can't finish early, as the club manager won't like that. I can't finish late, or the manager and the other comedians won't like that.
This has to happen despite distractions.
So, in essence, for a 5 minute routine one has to have a full complement of contingency plans to make sure you end strongly and on time.
This is much fun!

Will this wind be so mighty as to blow the mountains to the gwound?
The Rockies. Why not call them something less...obvious? It's like calling a lake "Water Lake", or "Pavement Street", or "Running River", or "Hot and Dry Desert", or...
It was a nice day, so I didn't get too bent out of shape about it.

I like likable people
So, in typical fashion, I say "Hi, how's it goin'" to a total stranger. He replies, "Whatcha been up to?"...

The Language Barrier
True story:
My friends just invested in a "top of the line" vacuum cleaner. The husband had tried it out and was mighty impressed. He comments to his wife, "This vacuum cleaner really sucks".
She replies, "Well, take it back then!"

Captains Log 2010-02-03: Peanutty with clearly visible corn kernels
Why do we eat corn anyway? Why does it make the passage from the cob to the anus more quickly than other foodstuffs? Why not just eat yellow plastic pellets?
Do corn based farts smell? Like plastic pellets?
It is because of these important yet unanswered questions that I, Sweet Dick Hall, pledge to inspect my feces much more carefully from now on. No more fecal abandonment! Embrace the poo!
