I remember being one of the only people in middle and high school who thought Norm McDonald (of SNL fame) was funny. I would quote his David Letterman impressions with my friend Nikki ("Uhhh, ya got any gum?") for hours. I dare you to listen to "Tex Hooper" from his CD Ridiculous and not laugh out loud.
Well, apparently, the following series of video from Bob Sagat's Comedy Central Roast proves that I'm still among a very small group of people who think he's hilarious. I think the other comedians up on stage get the joke, as well as some savvy audience members. But what's even more humorous is the uncomfortable awkwardness felt by many in the room.
If you watch this and can't contain your laughter at least once, we should really be hanging out more.

Me, Yearbooked
Through the most amazing piece of web programming ever, I was able to yearbook myself through time. Some of these images almost made me pee my pants, and one is eerily scary to one of my dad's yearbook photos. I apologize in advance for any nightmares the following images may create.
1952
1960
1970
1980
1988
1998
2000
I'm not sure why I ballooned in '98, but luckily I laid off the ham sandwiches long enough to have a decent picture in 2000. Please yearbook yourself and share it in the comments. I may need a good laugh while I'm at work.

My top 10 things about Los Angeles
I recently visited the cozy little town of Los Angeles and so many wonderful things happened that I felt it necessary to share the top 10 reasons why I love L.A. Think of this post as you would a Media McNuggets post, but replace media with Los Angeles. And begin...
10) The Elephant Bar is in L.A. and is home to what the wife and I like to call, "the big f*cking brownie." Enough said.
9) Where else can you see Kal Penn enjoying a light lunch outside?
8) Apparently Fantastic Sams is the most popular place for haircuts and everyone in L.A. knows it. What a crazy town!
7) The Coffee Bean is cooler than Starbucks, however, it won't be a true battle until Dunkin Donuts increases their presence in the city of angels. Seriously, where are all of the Dunkin Donuts?
6) Pebbles lives in L.A. and makes phone calls like this..."Mommy, I've been watching Cast Away on TBS all day and I can't find the clicker. Please come home. Love, Pebbles."
5) No one actually works at the Wendy's in Silver Lake, CA...and no one seems to care! Luckily Arby's has two employees to make up for it.
4) No matter how many times you've seen it, the Hollywood sign is still exciting, even if there is an ugly tower right next to it.
3) Just sitting on the beach can be more entertaining than a movie, especially when you see cavemen children throwing sand at and spearing birds, two grown men "wrestle" each other for an hour in the ocean and a flock of seagulls annihilate a bag of Frito's.
2) The Rachos Las Lomas exists and is a beautiful place to have a wedding. If only the wild birds and growling Bengal Tigers would be quite long enough to let the bridal party finish their speeches. As Stephanie Tanner would say, "How rude!"
1) Somewhere on this page is the name of a Martian who traveled to Earth during the big bang explosion/a living, breathing Tom-Tom navigation system posing as a narrator of the Griffith Observatory's Centered In the Universe planetarium show. "Welcome to your hooooooome."
My trip to L.A. was truly bananas!

Follow me on Twitter
I'm trying out some new (well, new to me) technologies and I want you to join me! Follow me on Twitter as I provide short updates on what I'm doing during the day.What's the point of this, you ask? Well, there really is no point other than it's a fun way to know what I'm doing. When I need a break from work, I'll post. When I'm on my way home from work and I think of something funny, I'll post, via text. When I'm taking a twosie and I have my cell phone near me, I just might post! I'll still be blogging when I have the time, but my Twitter feed just might be the perfect thing to tide you over between posts. Pretty soon, I'll own the Internets!
