Giant Rubber



Some things you pass on the road and you can only ask yourself...why.

This was on my way to Port Huron michigan. You can use the truck as a reference to the size. Yep, a giant friggin tire.

Wapokaneta, Ohio



A few weeks back I was working in Wapokeneta, OH (because I get to see so many exciting places.)

I was driving around a little trying to find some interesting places to take pictures. This is some kind of aerospace museum. (When I think NASA, I think Wapokenata, Ohio!)

As you can tell by the massive number of 'car' in the parking lot this place is really bringing in the tourist. Yes this picture was actually taken on a Saturday.

View from the Cache



There is actually a HUGE water tank right behind me. But if I took a picture of a water tank that would just be pretty stupid now wouldn't it.

Blue Heron



While doing some geocaching near Proctor, WV I passed this Blue Heron and two white swans in a pond.

Nuclear Plant



Of course to get to the other two views above on the way into Proctor, WV you have to drive past a nuclear power plant. I'll tell you something. If you have never seen a nuclear power plant pictures can't do justice to the size of the towers.

It's like I could feel myself getting sterile just driving past this place.

Proctor, WV


From L-R (Some guy at the show with one of my T-shirts, Tony the Booker (sounds like a mob name) Caroline Picard (the other comic), Todd (runs the club and hosted the show) and Me. You can tell what gentleman we all are as we put the woman in the back of the picture.

First thing I noticed about this picture is "My God, I'm getting fat" Need to do something about that. Guess I'll work on that once I finish this twinkie.

Anyways, Caroline and I had a blast with the crowd in Proctor, WV. I swear on my GPS software no matter how much I zoomed in only one road showed up.

Before the show I called from the hotel (which charged me $5 to switch to a non-smoking room) and ask them the street name so I can put it in my GPS. The reply, "Well, we really don't have street names, just make a left as soon as the two way highway begins."

Now normally with my GPS I can find any gig out there. It's a good thing Tony came to the hotel and we followed him. I swear it looks like he was turning into a place that wasn't meant to be turned into. Then we went under what they called the "trestle". I thought it was about the size of a healthy sewer pipe.

Well, once we actually found the place this crowd rocked! Sometimes I prefer working in these small towns because they seem to appreciate comedy more since it's something they may only get to go to once a month.

I got a good laugh out of Todd before the show started. In the kitchen there was pretty decent sized wooden cross that they were getting refinished and I said. "Hopefully you guys won't be burning that after the show!"

Cat Butt

There is a meaning to the picture posted below.

To make a short story long first off I own the dumbest, most ungraceful cat in the world, it's funny to see a cat try to jump on the couch and fall off because she is clumsy.

She is also the most pathetic and lazy cat I've ever seen. The only way she plays with a string is if she can lay down while she does it.

I found this cat when she was a kitten, she was a stray. At first we just let her stay in the garage because it was winter and it was cold. That was few years back. Eventually we got her 'fixed' and declawed. (Sorry, if you think declawing is cruel, the choices were declaw the cat or get the furniture that we are still paying on all tore up)

Nowadays, this cat won't go outside if it's below 70. She is such a wimp. If she does go outside in about 30 seconds she is at the door screaming bloody murder. (If you heard her meow, you would say: "Wow, I think in cat speak that is 'HELP IT'S 69 DEGREES AND I'M OUTSIDE, THIS IS BLOODY MURDER!'")

So the other day my wife brought home her hamster that she keeps at school for the kids to torture, um, I mean enjoy.

So the cat and the hamster are both just sitting there staring at each other and I thought that would be a cute picture. So I go and get my camera and what does the cat do before I can get the button pressed. Yep, turns around and gives me a butt shot.....stupid cat.

Comedian Tip Hat


Well, besides the fact that the "Tip Hat" is actually a bag it's not a bad idea.

The staff at the Four Seasons, which is the Club House Wynn and I worked at passed around this bag/hat. I think more clubs should do this! (Of course if the hat/bag is passed around and you end up with a few nickels that could be damaging to the ego)

Wynn Reichart and Eric Kirkland



This had to be one of the strangest tours for the crowds. Wynn is a goofy white guy who wears lime green slacks and, well, look at that shirt.

I'm a goofy black guy who wears Russian hocky jerseys and hats that look like they came from the cast of Gilligans Island.

We had an interesting tour a few weeks back. Friday night was at a Club House on a golf course in a gated community. Did I say, Wynn is a goofy white guy with lime green slacks and I am a goofy black guy with Russian hockey jerseys?

What was this company thinking.


Winner of the "Politcally Incorrect Company Name!"

So, if you work for this company are you considered a "Eurotard?"

More importantly, if you buy one of their products and wear it, would you be considered "Eurotarded?"
