GODS of COMEDY





There is nothing funnier to me than 3 numbskulls verbally and physically abusing each other with dangerous items like hot irons, clubs, plates bear traps, guns, baseball bats and of course the deadliest of them all Moe Howard's index and middle fingers...

Although Curly's episodes were the best I have to admit that Shemp was pretty damn funny too. Curly Joe kinda sucked.

Soitanly!

KINGPIN RULES!



One of the most underrated comedies of all time....As much as I loved "There's Something About Mary" and the Opening Night viewing, KINGPIN I think is The Farrelly Brother's finest hour. For ONE- it's about a one-handed, washout bowling prodigy, who teams up with an Amish bowling phenom to win bowling tourney; TWO- it's a mean spirited comedy ("You tore my sack..") THREE- Bill Murray's performance as Sleazy Big Ernie (pictured above) is as good as comic gold. Plus it has the greatest assortment of wacky haircuts that I've ever seen.



I had seen this back in (1996?) with Jon Gebhart, and Jen & Michelle Loshiavo for a matinee; if only it was a double date, because they immediately hated it after the little boy in the beginning of the film falls flat on his face. Jon and I were in stiches....1/2 way through the movie were Woody Harrelson and Vanessa Angel were fist fighting in the alleyway (punching her boobies); this elderly couple a few rows in front of us got up and left, adding to more raucous laughter from Gebhart and me. The girls? Bored and confused...Bwhhahahahahahahaha! KINGPIN you kick comic ass!

THE WHOLE F'N SHOW: ROB VAN DAM





Tonight history was made as Mr.Pay Per View, The Whole F'N Show, Mr. Money in the Bank the Cornerstone of EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING ROB VAN DAM won the WWF Heavyweight Championship from John Cena at the ECW / WWF pay per view event ONE NIGHT STAND.

First off the North Philadelphia Based ECW Wrestling has risen from the ashes yet once again, this time going global. If you've never seen what ECW is, it's the most passionate, violent and bloody wrestling Promotion (that could only of been born of Philly roots) that has now gone global. It changed wrestling forever since it's inception in the early '90's.




Hulk Hogan vs Andre? Kids stuff. Try "New Jack" verses Balls Mahoney in a hardcore weapons match were someone gets staples in their forehead. Foam fingers for the kids with Macho Man Randy Savage. F-you! ECW had Fans "BRING YOUR OWN WEAPONS" matches were someone actually brought a sink in and it was used on someone's forehead that evening.

Anyway RVD won over John Cena and I'm ecstatic because 1) I've met him twice, and he's pretty cool (thanks Davey Ryan)




2) He created the coolest move I've ever seen, THE VAN DAMINATOR- where Rob throws a folding chair at his opponent's head, and as they catch it, he SPIN KICKS it into their face. He also has the VAN TERMINATOR: where the opponent is slumped on his back in the corner. VAN DAM goes to opposite corner on the same side facing his opponent. He climbs to the top turnbuckle with a TRASH CAN and JUMPS off towards the opponent and Kicks the Can into their face. Devastating,to say the least; and as ECW comentator JOEY STYLES would say....OH MY GOD !!!!!!


ROB VAN DAM you rule! RVD! RVD! RVD!

6 Dumb Questions with Emily Dvi-Vardhana




My daughter Emily Renee Dvi-Vardhana was born into this nutty world on May 18th 2006 via C-Section at 4:20pm PST.
Unlike your children, my kid can talk, and wax intellectual about a variety of topics. I am a little disappointed that she didn't have three arms like baby Zie-Zie and furthermore, red hair like her mom, but she did score 2200 on her baby S.A.T.S and speaks jive.


Q:You wanted your momma Shelley to get sliced,diced and gutted like a Bass instead of being born through the happiest place on Earth...Why?


ED:Well, the Doctors later realized that I had a stupid cord wrapped around my neck (I was trying out bungee jumping) so the C-section was inevitable. Plus I had just had a taco which didn't agree with me; and it lead to me taking a giant crap inside my old apartment. So it was kind of like swimming at the New Jersey shore.


Q: You read a lot of novels while your were in the joint for 9 months. What was your favorite book and author?

ED: I really recommend GOODNIGHT, GORILLA by Peggy Rathman; WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS by Shel Silverstein; but my favorite book by far was The BEST OF PEANUTS by Charles Shultz. That Lucy's a bitch! I didn't like the DaVinci code.


Q: What's you're favorite toy?

ED: That's a no brainer- it's my mommy doll.


Q:Do you have a problem with wearing socks?

ED: No comment.


Q: What's you're favorite song / music ?

ED:I like the Baby Einstien anthology collection, the score to the film THE INCREDIBLES, but my dad puts me to sleep with ZZ TOP (no joke)


Q:If you were a Muppet which one would you be?

ED: R2-D2...oh wait that's not a muppet....uh...oh yeah, SUPERGROVER!

BABY BOOM !



Cute little Zie-Zie from Shanghai has 3 arms! I hope they teach him boxing, because he'd be able to block with 2 arms and punch with one!

Thanks to Hunter Woo's website for pointing this out...
