HEY! TALENTED PEOPLE! STOP MOVING TO LA!
Two awesome articles in the Sunday Arts & Leisure section of the NY Times featuring lots of UCBT peeps. There’s even a slideshow of students and teachers!
It’s Not a Bad Time to Be Funny In the City
I’m only willing to watch Al Roker if he has an ewok humping his leg.
We’ve all seen and talked about this plenty, but I feel that it’s important that I do my part to preserve the memory of drunk ewoks ruining the Today Show for all eternity.
Boys becoming men. Men becoming wolves.
“All of humankind has one thing in common - the sandwich. I believe that all anyone really wants in this life is to sit in peace and eat a sandwich.”

Liz Lemon, 30 Rock (Season 4, Episode 3)
Tina Fey gets me.
LOLZ all around.
“Not karate, Doug. Mixed martial arts. Like ninjas and arm-wrestling and Navy SEAL shit all rolled into one. As a matter of fact I think it’s something I’d be very good at. Well I can’t just jump in there as a professional right away—gotta work the amateur circuit for a bit. I don’t know, some guy’s back yard or something. What do you mean, “unsanctioned?” Sometimes I think you make up words just to piss me off, Doug.”
Simply brilliant.
This is my online effort right now, everyone. It’s a blog of a man’s last words to his friend Douglas.
“It’s illegal to buy fireworks, sure, but I don’t remember hearing anything about making them on your own. It’s only called a pipe bomb if you blow it up because you hate America. If you love America, Doug, then it’s fireworks. See, I’m even painting little flags on them.”
This is one of my favorite tumblrs to follow. Dark and really funny. I feel so bad for Doug.
My favorite one: “I can’t go buying condoms for every girl I meet at Hardees, Doug. If I had that kind of money, I wouldn’t be eating at Hardees so much. I’d be out there in a kick-ass sportcoat, pulling down a bunch of Cheesecake Factory pussy.”
Project Rant - Lady That Robbed Me with Justine Bateman
I’ve been on a storytelling kick lately (I went to The Moth StorySLAM last night, which was pretty great). I find this particular form of… is it comedy? wildly entertaining and truly satisfying. I think it’s that identification with human experience that makes it so compelling - it leaves you feeling fulfilled, like you just had a great conversation with an old friend.
In any case, I think things like this run along the same vein. The crappy Dunkeroos cookies? I get that. I totally get that.
Drugs are Fun - featuring Black Dynamite! (With the help of The Striking Viking Story Pirates)
Favorite line? “Tickling is fun, but remember, kids: tickle gently.”
(Fun fact: The girl in the orange shirt is my niece.)
Last, but not least, happy birthday to Chevy Chase.
It’s also Paul Hogan’s birthday.
