Recent picture of Eric Kirkland doing a show for what he thought was a Krispy Kreme convention.  He missed the last K on the contract when he took the booking.


From the "Why didn't I think of these!" category

Joke of the Month:

A small zoo in Tennessee obtained a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks the gorilla, a female, became very difficult to handle. Upon examination, the veterinarian determined the problem. The gorilla was in heat. To make matters worse, there was no male gorilla available. Thinking about their problem, the Zoo Keeper thought of Bobby Lee Walton, a redneck part-time worker responsible for cleaning the animal cages. Bobby Lee, like most rednecks, h ad little sense but possessed ample ability to satisfy a female of any species.

The Zoo Keeper thought they might have a solution. Bobby Lee was approached with a proposition. Would he be willing to mate with the gorilla for $500.00? Bobby Lee showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully. The following day, he announced that he would accept their offer, but only under four conditions:

1. "First", Bobby Lee said, "I ain't gonna kiss her on the lips." The Keeper quickly agreed to this condition

2. "Second", he said, "You can't never tell no one about this." The Keeper again readily agreed to this condition.

3. "Third", Bobby Lee said, "I w ant all the children raised Southern Baptist." Once again it was agreed.

4. And last, Bobby Lee said "I'll need another week to come up with the $500.00.



Comedy Club Checklist:  From this Blog Entry

Comedy Club checklist


1. Check ligthing system..check
2. Check Microphone...check
3. Remove the Sappos sign before the black comic shows up...damn, knew we forgot something.

Yes, recently I did a show at a place called Sonny Jacks. (Sorry, if you can read the sign it's actually 'Sonny Jacks Beer Joint") It was interesting to say the least.
Before the show I'm standing outside, being gaped at by onlookers of this strange being in their town and called my wife to let her know, "I'm playing one block down the street from a grain silo"
Well before the show I noticed this "Sappo's" sign on the wall.....yeah, that made me feel comfortable. So they noticed I was taking pictures of it.
 
Well during the show I have this really bad habit of saying what I feel like saying so I had to bring it up.
The lady behind the bar turned about as red as the watermelon in the picture. Cool, callbacks! It ended up that the show was a lot of fun and that sign gave me about 5 minutes of new material. I think the staff was extra friendly to me the rest of the night! :-)

Greg Lausch, myself, and the MC.  (Hey, I only forgot one name this time around, that's pretty damn good for me!) This was that the Holiday Inn, in Spring Lake, MI. Note his eye, he said he got it when him and his girlfriend were having sex.....well, that's his story and he is sticking to it!
