I swear, I need to start writing/performing comedy again. I've been hearing set-ups for jokes everywhere. The disappointing thing is they are only set-ups. What happens afterwards is disappointing at best.
Excuse me while I contemplate the many advantages of owning a chicken costume.

Bloggin' Ain't Easy...
...for me, anyway.
On my drive to work today, I noticed a billboard along the highway. Hang on, the story's not done. It is an advertisement for a concert venue in a casino/hotel. This venue (like many other venues that happen to be inside a casino) always has "big name" bands and performers, in the respect that the performer is well-known. However, the hey-day of said performer has usually occured 10+ years in the past (I think Hammer might be performing there next week). Casinos always seem to have a slogan where they are telling the customer to be entertained. Some phrases that come to mind are "Just have fun!", "Get out there!", and "Live it up!" The unfortunate combination of these two things is what caused me to chuckle. When you are a casino with a venue that features music groups that are past their prime, perhaps you should come up with a better slogan than "Let yourself go!" I'm just sayin'.
On my way home today (It's sad that the majority of things that happen in my life occur while driving. But seeing as how much of my time outside of work and my apartment is spent operating a motor vehicle, it can't be helped.) my thoughts drifted to the makers of sports bras, and how there is at least one manufacturer that has not found the correct ratio of comfort to support. I will leave the imagery to you.
On a completely unrelated note, the new fall season has begun for the world of television. I am disappointed to find out that none of the shows I watch on a regular basis, including new shows, were in the top 10 in ratings. When I saw the shows that actually made the list (Except for CSI, good job) I felt nothing but shame for the people in this country.
I guess a lot of Americans wanted to be dancers.
