One is a picture of Houdini locking his keys in his car. The other is a rare photograph of Norman Rockwell beating up a child. What's another word for Thesaurus? (And maybe my favorite): When I was a baby, I kept a diary. Recently, I was rereading it. It said, "Day 1 -- Still tired from the move. Day 2 -- Everybody talks to me like I'm an idiot.

The only ones to see it were a couple of cats, and one turned to the other and said "See, that's how you do it".

I have seen Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engval, Jerry Seinfeld, and Rodney Carrington and they were all great. There was a drunk heckler at the Seinfeld show. He was way at the top level and Jerry shouted some funny response and shut the guy right up. Rodney actually went to my High School. He was a Sophmore when I was a Senior. I do have a very funny pic of him in my yearbook, but did not know him.

Originally Posted By Labuda ^^ Nah, here in Austin, it's always a chick with that job. And sometimes she's white, sometimes she's Latina, other times she's another race. I think there's a job-sharing program or something. Oh, and while he's not a comedian, John Waters was AWESOMELY funny last night! Looking forward to Norm McDonald tonight, ANDDDDD TX - neato that you have Rodney Carrington in your yearbook! We're seeing him here in January sometime.
