Greetings:
Welcome to my fifth Newsletter! Happy New years to everyone.  (Insert here all that phony crap people say, basically "Live long and prosper, yada, yada, yada)

Most of the information here will also be available on my website. 

There will also be selected entries from my Blog, and updated show schedules.

 Joke of the Month:

You ever hear the joke about the broken pencil?

Never mind, it's pointless.

Recent Comics I've worked with:
Ken Sevara and I at Savarino's in Hillsdale, MI.  This is a club I LOVE working and have done the last 3 winters.  They do comedy about once a month over the winter and pack in about 300 comedy loving fans!  Thanks to all that came out.  See you next winter!

I was just kind of joking around with the tounge thing in the picture but it appears Ken is enjoying this way to much.  I don't even want to know what his hand is doing in his pocket!!

 

 

Darryl Rhoades and I had a kick ass week at The Comix Cafe in Rochester, NY.  We had a blast doing a radio remote with Brother Wease.  For some unknown reason Brother Wease gave me the moniker Eric "B.D." Kirkland.  You can probably figure out what the B.D. stands for.  We did a radio remote at some little diner in some one pony town.

That is Sarah from ebaumsworld.com and her shoes.  She interviewed us after the show and some clips from our show should show up on ebaumsworld.com in the next 3 to 4 weeks.

The remote was pretty cool. Kelly Hunt  and Shemekia Copeland also both came out and joined us on the remote.

Bought a shirt at the show? If so send me a picture and I'll put it up on the web
page!
 

This is the other Eric Kirkland. Him and his team are the ones that hooked me up with the now famous Colorado Climax Jersey.  Look for the Away Jersey coming soon to a show near you!

After looking at his picture and mine people get us confused for each other all the time.  People are constantly asking him do to some black jokes.

Rednecks gone wild!

What happens when rednecks have one to many drinks, have a business, and the back end of a car?

Yep, they cut it off and make it look like a car has driven through a wall.  Whoo, what a hoot that is!

This pic was from somewhere in southern Ohio when I wen to visit The Serpent Mound. (Heh, just realized that sounds like a gay strip club)

Anyways, if you haven't been to Serpent Mound in southern Ohio, don't go.  

 


On the Serious Tip:

In regards to the Boondocks and this whole "N" word thing.  There is a major difference in the way the word is said.

If you are easily offended do not read the link below.  It is something I wrote about the "N" word way back after there was an episode on it on a show I use to watch called Boston Public that was on the air a few years back.  The episode evolved around the issue of the word, who used, and how it was used and who got upset about it.

So, if you aren't easily offended feel free to read this poem.
