Thanks to Best Part Productions for plugging my blog. You can view their Kickstarter project here. They're talented guys that deserve support.

This is my blog where I occasionally complain about stuff. I post infrequently, but sometimes I have an interesting thought or two. (but not three)

My podcast, Jesse Is Terrifc, is a 10-minute long showcase of jackassery, with sketches, songs and lots of screaming. It's available on ComedyPodcast.com ,  and you subscribe via iTunes by going here. Thanks, and look for Episode 12 to be up this week!

How People In Alabama Come Together

I just read this at SI.com:

During the homecoming parade at Alabama last Saturday, a float had a man, presuming to be [tree poisoner Harvey] Updyke, hanging in effigy. It read: "We hang tree killers,'' and "If you poison trees in Auburn we hang you.''

In Alabama, they hang people in effigy AS A PEACE OFFERING.  That is all.

Sunday Morning Ramble

Some thoughts as I try to wake up this morning:

- Episode 10 of my comedy podcast is up. Weird to think that I've recorded nearly 2 hours of goofiness this year. I hope it continues! Thanks to everyone that enjoys the show (I can name at least four.) I have several ideas for upcoming shows, so stay tuned.

- Watched the UT-Georgia game last night. It was a stunning display of mediocrity. At one point, Georgia faced a 4th-and-58. Georgia also won the game. UT is currently the 4th best team in the Sun Belt. What a sad, painful fall.

- Tonight is the finale for Breaking Bad, and I think I may write more about the show after tonight. In fact, I have several extended blog ideas that I'd like to write about at length, including:

• A look at Breaking Bad that will probably be filled with breathless hyperbole;
• Thoughts on Season Two of Louie that will probably be filled with breathless hyperbole;
• The films of Stanley Kubrick, half of which will probably be filled with breathless hyperbole;
• A review of the Coen Brothers Blu-Ray Collection, half of which, etc.;;
• Some houghts on my time doing stand-up, which will probably be filled with breathless complaining;
• and more!

- Today promises to be a delightful day of NFL football, a sport I adore no matter how much the league tries to ruin it with never-ending commercials, dull games, hypocritical player punishments and idiotic rules changes.Regardless of the field, be it the arts, science, government, sport or wicker basket-making, with success comes bloat. In art, it leads to Use Your Illusion 1 & 2; in baseball, it leads to 5 hour games that always end after potential future fans of the game have gone to bed. Compared to the clowns that run baseball, NFL owners seem like kind people that have their fans' best interest at heart.

- The first 3 episodes of Community have been really disappointing. Last year was one of the most deliriously fun seasons of comedy I've ever witnessed, bold and smart with an "I can't believe we're actually doing this!": energy. Well, apparently the work involved in Season 2 took a toll, as the majority of the writing staff quit. Frankly, it shows. The show still has sharp jokes and a healthy dose of weirdness, but the whole enterprise feels deflated. During the opening episode of the season, there was an opening musical number where they sang, "We're gonna be more normal and be less weird than the first 2 years combined" and later a character said "this will be like any other season, only we'll have a lot less money." I assume these were supposed to be humorous meta references to the show's handling by the network, but it just bummed me out. The odds are good that Community will be canceled this season; I hope it doesn't spend the whole time gazing at its own navel.

- Watched Scarface for the first time in years recently. (I kinda had to, since I'm a rapper after all.) is a well-made, compelling crime saga that features the phoniest accents in the history of time. Take a drink every time a character says "MANG" at the end of a sentence. You'll be dead in an hour.

Look! Over Your Head! It's A Joke!

Greetings, whoever! Still working on the new podcast, but it's almost done. Stop pestering me about it, No One!

As I sit here watching Craig James and Jesse Palmer on ESPN, I'm reminded of the 3rd biggest goof that I encountered today.. I went to the post office after work ended, and there was a line. The man behind the counter made a wry comment: "It seems it always gets busy around this time of day!"

A couple of people chuckled, then a guy in the back yelled, "THAT'S BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS GETTING OFF WORK!"

Thanks, Buddy.

This guy has what is easily my favorite personality: The Person That Does Not Know What Jokes Are. It's too bad the postal worker didn't pull out his keys and jingle them, and maybe fart, so that Dimbulb Muldoon might have realized he was in a situation where humor was occurring, like people who can't process the fact that anything from The Onion is a freaking joke.

I know what you might be saying: "BUT MY FRIEND TOLD ME THAT SO I HAD TO PASS ON THE RUMOR WITHOUT LEARNING MORE ABOUT IT!" And that's why you're a goof, you gossip-driven buffoon.

Thanks for the people that said nice things about the show. The last few blog posts have been shilling for the podcast, but I plan on complaining about other things on here soon. Also, subscribe to the other shows on ComedyPodcast.com, as they are delightful.
