Comedy Contest Season Has Begun

Posted on April 24, 2009 by Tom

So I’m in this comedy contest tomorrow night (Saturday), upstairs at the Royal Place restaurant on Route 88, less than a half mile off of Route 51.

Ten awesome comedians competing for your vote. Only five bucks — just 50 cents a comedian!

I think it’s at 8:00. Be there!

But why does the jello stay in the air so long after bouncing?

Correction

Posted on April 16, 2009 by Tom

Contrary to previous reports from this website, I will not be at the Skittsburgh show at the St. James Place tavern tonight.

You should go there anyway and laugh, laugh, laugh.

An Actual Conversation With My Wife

Posted on April 15, 2009 by Tom

Me (coming home late): It smells good in here. Did you cook something with garlic?

Wife: No.

Me: Really? What did you make for dinner?

Wife: Spaghetti and meatballs. And garlic bread.

(long pause)

Wife: Yes. The answer to your first question is “Yes.”

Mini-movie Review: My Tale of Two Cities

Posted on April 12, 2009 by Tom

An ultimately inspiring, if sometimes frustrating, tale. There are only so many ways to tell the “Pittsburgh-has-gone-to-hell-and-I-wonder-if-it-will-recover” story. I’m actually more interested in seeing more about Carl Kurlander’s relationship with his wife. That seems like a lot of drama. Grade: B.
