We pissed al over that stuffed-shirt parade

So did the Hideout last night, funny ha-ha. Dick jokes, sex jokes, we made fun of John Green's dick size, I used the word "wetback" onstage, and we dumped an entire cake on the floor. Everytime we do Funny Ha Ha at The Hideout I feel like Harpo at the Algonquin Round Table. There's Alexander Woolcott and Ben Hecht revealing the indiosyncracies of the world in a conversation wrought with pithy ironic well-formed sentences, and then there we are asking to be dared to see how much creamer we can drink. Whenever we get to guest spot in someone else's show we always have fun. We put so much pressure on ourselves when we do a self-produced stage (or radio) show that most of the fun is sucked out of the room, but when we do someone else's show we have a lot more fun and put less pressure on what people might think of this and just have fun.

For any SERIOUSLY OLD SCHOOL Schadenfreude fans, I did one of our oldest bits last night. "The Queer Ass and the Gay Cock" Which I believe premiered in our second show at the Heartland. In the Heartland I played an old man trying to read and old story written back when Queer (odd) and Ass (Mule) and Faggot (bundle) weren't dirty words. In this show I read it as a tribute to my Grandfather who's Grandfather read it to him. The real bit is shooting the audience an angry look when they would laugh at it, because the story of the Queer Ass (Odd Mule) and Gay Cock (Happy Male Chicken) is not to be laughed at! Show some maturity! It's an old story! The punchline is when I decide to read the story of the little Puppy who got fistfucked (that's what they called coal mining back then!), after which Stephe hit the music cue because it was ingrained in his brain from six years ago.

Steve Delahoyde has worked on a bunch of new videos. That guy has invented the best format for himself, just innocent, stream-of-consciousness, fun featuring him. The thing I like about Steve's videos is that nothing is a bad idea. He really commits to his ideas. I'm teaching a writing class right now and people are so judgemental of their ideas, so mistrusting of their own brain, it's amazing. It takes a while to open people up so that every idea is a good one. It all depends on where you take it.

Fun night, I would say you should've been there, but that would have made it more crowded.
