So yesterday the show wasn't nearly as big as the night before, but frankly, it was a bad night that for a lot of shows would be a good night. Anything over $200 is good, but after a $700 night it seems a little low.

The show seems as though it should be a comedy, from what he's wearing and the cadence of the lines that I hear through the door, but I'm not hearing any laughs through the door.

We have their money, it doesn't really matter whether the show is any good, but it's a little sad.

I'm loving 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time on Comedy Central.

The best part is that it isn't just a clip show, there's also this roundtable of comics talking about the people on the list, Judy Gold, Mario Joyner, Dom Irrera, Greg Giraldo, and of course they know most of the comics personally.

And you can totally tell when they don't like who they are talking about, either personally or they don't think he's funny, though they never say anything bad about anybody. Jeff Foxworthy, they didn't think was funny. Denis Leary, they didn't like as a person. Bill Maher I was startled to see that they actually do seem to like as a person, because he's a real ass.

Gallagher was number 100, because what comic on the planet earth would be placed after Gallagher? I mean, he's a giant success, he has to be on the list, but frankly, ain't nobody below him. Janeane Garafalo was #99. She is one better than Gallagher. I guess somebody has to be, but I'd demand a recount.

Most of my favourites are below #60, Louis C.K., Eddie Izzard, Robert Schimmel, Paula Poundstone, but they made the list, so I'm happy. Carrot Top, on the other hand--not on the list. Because it doesn't matter how many people with no sense of humour like him, they have to have some standards.

Can somebody please tell me why all of a sudden everybody is saying "greazed" for "greased"?

The first time I ever heard it was Alton Brown saying something about "greazy" hands, but he's Southern with a Southern grandma and lives in the South, so I'll give it to him. Also, it's kind of cute and Alton can do no wrong.

However! Once is enough! Now there is apparently this product called Greased Lightning that is showing up on Price is Right and every time the announcer calls it "Greazed Lightning"! I just do not accept this. This isn't Alton Brown getting all greazy (one can only hope) this is "you know that ain't no shit, I'll be getting lots of tit in" Greased Lightning, and greazy it ain't.

Besides, greazy sounds sleazy, so when you are talking about hands that you are going to wash, it works, but when you are talking about your fine product that you want people to shell out for, not so much.

Today's horoscope:
You may have a bit of a problem getting yourself motivated during the early part of the day, but by tonight when it's time to punch out, you'll be just fine. In the meantime, be patient.

One year ago today:
Big Al is perfect as the stage manager, the two girls playing the daughters are fine, and actually look alike, the son will probably be fine, and the guy playing the father is around 55 or so and this is the first play he has been in since the sixth grade.
