What did Merle do?

Despite the fact that his mother tried to raise him better, he turned 21 in prison doing life without parole.

Is anyone else hearing Weir's cracking voice as they read that?

Continuity problems, but Taye Diggs is phenomenal.

Yes, that's one of those few tunes that Bobby now owns. And no, he does not own "Queen Jane."

He could have better pulled off, "I'm nuts and sometimes i just say shit on stage, and I get really wound up and sometimes I go after hecklers, and when I do i go all out and don't filter stuff I'm saying. I'm sorry for what I said. i meant to attack a black man and instead I said stuff that offends all black people and most white people."

the rambling thing he did do makes it seem the rant was more a part of his personality that I would have thought.

I heard someone say that he was a mediocre comic who landed the perfect role, and really had no future after Seinfeld anyway.

does anyone know if Prussian Blue needs an opening act?

I know this is a whiff, but it was about a 20 year sentence s for armed robbery.

Just to show how cool I was even back then, Merle was my favorite recording artist in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

She is truly unbelievable. I think Jeter's fucking her now. And for the record, he's starting to get on my nerves with the fucking the hottest girls in the world all the damn time.



And I love this photo:

Fuck him. He was in Columbus supporting U of M Saturday. I hate those pricks.

He came off as a stammering fucking fool on Letterman. His tangents about Katrina and his freestyle stage persona made him look like a jackass who wanted to point to anything other than his clear intent in using the word.

I was shocked that he didn't have anything prepared and floored that he didn't even seem to have a loose plan of what he was going to say.

Here is what he should have said: "First of all, I have no excuses for my actions last night. I am looking deep inside myself to find out where something like that could have come from. Needless to say, this will be a long, personal process for me and I plan on taking every step I need to take to uncover the flaws in myself that led me to even think, let alone utter the vile, disgusting things I said.

At this point in that process, I can tell you that I have a problem with rage and have been struggling to find myself professionally as well as personally after the tremendous success of Seinfeld. It has been hard. The heckler I confronted last night struck a nerve when they said I was not funny. Please keep in mind that I am not presenting an excuse, but an explanation for my outburst. Although I like to think of myself as a professional who can deal with these situations, which are common in stand-up, I was furious. And since I was hurt on a deep level, I wanted to strike back at this person in the most hurtful way I could think of. I did that and again, there is no excuse for my actions.

I want to apologize directly to him, everyone at the club that night and everyone in this country. What I did was small minded, stupid and let's face it, racist. I do not believe I am a racist person, but after stepping back and looking at what I said, I need to rethink who I am. And that will be part of this process of introspection I am undertaking. Once again, I am sorry from the bottom of my heart."

yes. but given the extent of the rant, would anything have explained it? I mean if n***** is the first word out of a white guy's mouth when he's really pissed at a black guy, maybe he can explain it. It's a bit tougher when it's the first word, the 20th, the 90th...... and it's interspersed by lynching references.

that's probably close to the truth, but not a truth he could voice. or if he did voice it, it kills the career.

Thurgreed will remember that a few months ago, some penguins headed to Texas were in a car crash. Four didn't make it.

He and I had a moment of silence.

Happily, the ones that made it seem to be doing well. Two of them are celebrating the birth of a chick! There are eight more eggs awaiting hatching.

Yay penguins!

The sentiment is good, but it's a little long and I think you'll lose the audience. Throw in a couple of jokes to punch it up a little.
