I'm In A Comedy Show Tonight at Bube's!

The radio comedy troupe I'm involved with, the Not Ready for Drive Time Players, is presenting a special fundraiser show for the Humane League of Lancaster County this Friday night at Bube's (that's tonight!).

With the influx of puppies due to the shutdown of the puppy mill in Ephrata, the League is in need of extra funding. All proceeds from the show will go to the League.

But, what is the show, you might ask? (Go ahead, I'll wait.)

It's a two-man comedy reading starring Sam Ridout (the man of a thousand voices; kind of like Lon Chaney, but with sound, and not dead) and me (the man of one voice)! The first half is called Space Ghost/Nixon and the second half is the Johnny Narcissist show.

I will warn you that the humor is definitely "R-rated" (R as in rrrrrrrrandy!) and is not intended for the easily-offended.

It's this Friday (Feb. 6th) at 9 P.M. in the Alois portion of Bube's Brewery (probably upstairs) and is only a measly five bucks (practically half the price of a bad movie nowadays). And it's all going to a great cause.

Hope to see you there!

VFW: All in the Family

Tom Daschle and the Cabinet Mispicks had an exciting last round comeback and nudged past It's a Lot of Pressure to Come Up with a Clever Team Name Every Week to take the gold. The B52s also had a comeback and placed third, one point ahead of K&B. Chicks and Dicks had an off night, placing fifth, slightly ahead of D&M. Third Rock and We're Here for the Beer tied for seventh. Since Trish picked this week's theme, I'm giving the choice to WHFTB. They picked cowboy stars of Covered Wagon Theater.

Don would like Steve to know that if you leave early, you relinquish all rights to your beef jerky!

Bube's: Downturn in Snow Jobs

If it's Tuesday, it must be snowing. Thankfully the snow held off until after midnight, so we had a full house for trivia. The Toxic Olives took the lead in the second round and held onto it until the end, winning by one point.

This week they were known as Michael Phelps Had the Munchies So Bad He Tried to Eat Our Nutsacks.

Who the Hell Is Gary Oldman didn't need to know who he was, as they placed third!

My favorite team name for the evening was Mopery Is a Victimless Crime.

We've Got Crabs only missed the money by one point. They named themselves after the shirt that they pulled from the Trashbag of Deelite.

Since this is a family blog (sort of, kind of), I cannot reveal what F.T.B.G. stands for.

Quietly Making Noise are next week's theme-pickers and they chose one of my favorite topics: The Flight of the Conchords. Fa du Fa!

The Tony Danza Slap are planning to attend my two-man comedy show at Bube's (Alois) this Friday at 9 P.M. Are you?

Urgle Gru and the Cru from Kruplackastan are in the Witness Protection Program, s their identities remain uncompromised.

You Can't Fix Stupid did the dreaded fourth round crash and burn, as they fell from second to tenth.

Brian consoles Laura since the rest of Mr. Oil Lobbyist Says That Bottle of Water Costs Four Times As Much As a Gallon of Gas, Hippie! did not show up.

Chuckles: Record-Breaking Attendance!

We should probably re-think having trivia on Super Bowl Sunday, since we only had five teams play (setting a record low for the past seven years). But those five teams did have a grand time. All the questions were based on NFL teams (You know, NFL as in the football league). Ubersmack squeaked by the Miami Blades and the Pixie Stix, who tied for second. Andrew and Bob had to face Captain Jack, with the Blades victorious. The Twin Roses were only one question behind and the Dragonslayer defended the flank. Since we had less than eight teams, I decided that I will pick next week's theme, which will not be announced until the night of the game. I love a mystery!

The Miami Blades are on a roll, taking first place last week and second tonight!

Of Pixiesticks and Whirlygigs had the back room all to themselves.

The Twin Roses recruited the virginal Nancy, who kept trying to give away her goodies.

The Dragonslayer was our only new team for the night, and she stayed for the entire competition.

Afterwards, Sasha made Deric pinky swear that he would never diss the Steelers again.
