Friday Funnies III

A guilty pleasure movie that I have is Harlem Nights. It's an awful movie. Well, maybe not entirely awful. It has a roll call of some of the top black comedians. Red Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Della Reese, Arsenio Hall, Charlie Murphy and many others. After about the first...

The End of Falling

I sucked as a skateboarder. I'm also bummed I never had the guts to pick it back up. So now I live vicariously through Kelly, Flynn and the other grinders I meet through them. I posted this story to them last week, but I think it's worth sharing with the...

Game On: Week of Aug. 14

Here is my column from last week, courtesy of Vero Beach. The games reviewed: Wii Sports Resort and GI Joe: Rise of Cobra.

What I’ve Read: Assload of Fast Company

One of the best gifts my mother ever gave me was a couple of years ago when she got me a subscription to Fast Company. As a mover and shaker at GE, she thought the maagzine's blend of forward-thinking, business-minded, green innovation content was right up my alley. Boy was...

Friday Funnies II

This is from the the same Emmitt Smith roast from last week's clip. Every comic has a bad night when the audience just doesn't feel you and you are bloodletting onto the stage. I remember being in high school and performing at speech and debate tournaments having similar experiences. Now...

Can I Re-Gift This?

So last month was my 32nd birthday. No big deal, I figured. I'm not one for birthdays or holidays or any of that stuff. It's just not my style. And while there were no candles or cakes or (thankfully) Happy Birthday renditions, I did receive one gift that I was...

Game On: Week of Aug. 7

Here is my column from last week, courtesy of the Macomb Daily. The games I reviewed were Little King's Story, G-Force and King of Fighers XII.

My Man Crush

Is on freshman UK point guard John Wall. Here he is last week dunking on Jerry Stackhouse in a Pro-Am in NC. Sure, he's only staying one year, but it might be a damn good year to see a stud in blue and white play for the Cats.

What I’ve Watched: Funny People

I have no doubts that Sandler, Rogen, Mann, Apatow and the rest of cast are indeed funny people in real life. But holy crap they are not that funny at all in this movie. Sorry, but this movie should have been called Useless People. Rogen is good as his character,...

No Hot House Flower Here

"Mom didn't raise no hot house flower."I had no idea what the hell that meant, but maybe it was because I was focusing less on what my wife had just said and still wide-eyed from watching her pull a tree out of the ground with her bare hands. Yeah, you...

Friday Funnies

Hoping to share something funny stuff on Fridays to help liven up the mood going into the weekend.This is Jeff Ross, one of the funniest comedians on the planet right now. A couple years ago he was at the Emmitt Smith roast, and he killed it. Absolutely killed it. Enjoy.
