comics should leave the public square at 60 Yikes. I was almost 61 in 2003 when I strolled along the walkways of Towne Square in Yuppieville. No wonder I couldn't think of anything amusing to say about it ... :) And now at 62, my puns, alas, are no longer chuckle-inducing. Even Choosie probably sighs and yawns while moaning "Not again" at the mere sight of one of my last-gasp attempts at a pun. Just awhile ago I was trying to come up with something clever to say about the white birds and the black birds of earlier today. But all I can hope for now is that a youthful Gaugie will drop by and give us a stream of chatter on the topic of Geese 'n' Grackles. Hurry, Gaugie, before you turn 60. ;)

I watch Carlin on HBO and enjoy him. Also Robin Williams. Also Dennis Miller. I think comedy is semi-universal, but also semi-specific to your own place in the human comedy. For example, I know a guy who is a boss who hates Dilbert because it is disrespectful of bosses. Personally, I don't care for Leno or Letterman, and never did like Saturday Night Live after the golden era of Belushi, Ratner, et al. Tonight watched The Life Aquatic -- very weird, but I love Bill Murray, and am always willing to watch Anjelica Huston, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Cate Blanchett, and Owen Williams, even in something bad, which this wasn't. Just weird. Just checked the synopsis, Bud Cort (!!!) played the"Bond Company Stooge". Thought I recognized him, but could not place him. In case you watch it, that's Iggy Pop doing "Search and Destroy" -- now I am off on a tangent trying to find a version of "Search and Destroy" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
