My standup website has gotten a great new coat of paint, as thejuiceblog reader, Michael Popek did a wonderful job making it look better than I even hoped for. Unlike my myspace site, this website is dedicated to attracting corporate comedy shows. The concept is offering corporate comedy with an edge, so it has some new audio clips that I think give some flavor of what I do on-stage. Besides being the designer of my site, Michael also is an independent bookseller. Definitely check out his website. Included at popeks.com is some great sports memorabilia.

In more Scott Long news, I mentioned last year that I had googled my name and another person sharing my name always came up first. This Scott Long is a former contestant of the CBS show, "Big Brother". If you click on Google Images you get another surprise as some pics of him are from Playgirl. I had someone who had google imaged me ask if that was me? Let me note that despite the "uncanny" resemblance, I have never been photographed butt naked, while holding my rod in my hand. Well, at least not that I know of. Weird, but at least my name isn't John Mark Karr.

On the subject of Jon Benet, thank GOD we have that story back in the news, as the 24 hour sleaze merchants haven't been interesting enough lately, having to actually cover real news events. Since Natalie Holloway went on her failed Senior Trip, there hasn't been one story that women could get interested in. (Yes, I'm aware I'm stereotyping.) While I can't argue the world wouldn't be a safer place if women ran the planet, at the same time, it would also be a place filled with even more of these fluff pieces. Put me in the camp of people who would rather watch crazed religious extremist's trying to kill for Allah, Jahweh, or Aiken, than to watch that smug dude from Dateline trying to entrap pedophile's in the suburbs. By the way, if Dateline really wants to catch kid touchers, how about boarding a flight to Bangkok?

Oh and under the category of I HAVE TO SHARE, my favorite sick joke was told by David Spade on his 1998 HBO special. The line went something like "I don't get the whole fuss about Jon Benet Ramsey. I mean without her makeup, she wasn't even that hot." The best comedy often is the type that makes me ask myself, "what is wrong with me?"

One more note. If you want to get involved in the NL Playoff chase sweepstakes (see post below) the cut-off is Sunday at Midnight. I'm really hoping more people get involved, so put it out there. Remember that mediocre prizes will be awarded!
