  • I like my women the way I like my weed: sticky & mexican #

  • KNOXVILLE 8pm tonight: The Upstairs Underground Stand-Up Comedy Show @ Preservation Pub/Market Square http://on.fb.me/eRnLQT w/ @KnoxComedy#
  • Callia made a video fri wondering how/why @MetroSchools could possibly be closed for bad weather: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KpF_Fp5hVs#
  • Today: I pledge my love for my lovely wifera and go out of my way to make her feel special. Tomorrow: back to being emotionally unavailable. #
  • On my way to deliver sushi to my wife, the serpentine belt snaps. She warned me that something was wrong w/ the truck but I didn’t listen. #
  • I just saw a guy climb into his Thunderbird window Dukes Of Hazzard style. Nashville, sometimes you are just too adorable for words. #
  • Facebook’s “like” button is ok, but on old MySpace you could give one or two kudos. I miss the ability to DOUBLE-like something. #
  • Just farted so hard my butt hurts. Happy Valentine’s Day everybody. #

  • Went to (still at) Spanky’s open mic. Good to see people unwittingly paying tribute to @JesseIsTerriffic & the stupid traditions we started. #
  • One major difference: one last joke. We USED to do that b/c we only had a few comics & wanted to fill an hour and a half show. 3.25 hours in #
  • 3.25 hours in and we still have 3 comics left. THEN we’ll do one last joke. To stretch it out. Even though 90% of the comics have left. #
  • Then we’ll award a can of Fresca (“Fresca? that’s good drinkin’!”) to a ‘winner’ like we always did, except with reverence instead of irony. #
  • Also missing: the certificate that proclaims the ‘winner’ to be “the biggest hack in Nashville this week.” THATs what that award means erbdy #
  • RT “@heatherhocomedy: oh how I miss the fresca” // no, you miss those people in that scene in those days (as do I).. but they’re all gone. #
  • Druncle Chad shoulda never started tweetering last night. Going to that show is like revisiting an abusive relationship with an x-girlfriend #
  • It was actually a fun, half-decent show (for the most part) but some time around hour 3 of open mics I start teetering on the edge of sanity #
  • I mentioned @JesseIsTerrific in a tweeter last night but I spelled terrific wrong because I am an idiot. #
  • 8pm TONIGHT @ Lindsay Street Hall; 901 Lindsay St; Chattanooga, TN 37402 w/ @DougStanhope :: http://on.fb.me/hycXTl :: who has bail money? #
  • @DougStanhope just took the audience outside for a mid-set smoke break thanks to the wireless mic. Awesome. http://twitpic.com/40xmtv#

  • RT “@MoAlexander: @ChadRiden dude you guys played a church” // what better place to preach to the choir? #
  • RT @Gary__Fletcher “I’ll MC.. for FREE. And by “FREE” I mean I’ll suck your dicks. With my mouth.”// deal! @lizwearstights has to watch. in reply to Gary__Fletcher#
  • Gat DERN it #
  • RT “@Anundson: @tonyyoungblood @JesseIsTerrific I didn’t go. How was Riden?”// i was foolish for trying to follow the mattoid! #
  • @Gary__Fletcher did a fantastic job, Craig Smith made a special guest appearance performing with the mattoid, and Bingo was all dressed up! #
  • In the immortal words of Reno Collier, “I don’t FEEL GOOD.” #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-07-10

  • all my best stories are either pending court cases.. or can’t be told until the statute of limitations runs out.. or are totally forgotten. #
  • Having kids in your house is like having an infestation of rats. They chew up your stuff, build little nests, are impossible to get rid of. #
  • ..unless you set up traps and use rat poison. That usually does the trick. #
  • Jogging is better on the Wii Fit.. ’cause in real life you never run past Hitler, Chuck Norris, Darth Vader, Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg. #
  • apparently all you have to do is mention Chuck Norris and @ChuckNorriz will follow you. I “auto-follow” porn stars and SEO/marketing douches #
  • I have to watch ‘Louis’ on F/X all by myself because Laura says “it hits too close to home” for her to enjoy it. Thanks @louisck #
  • @JesseIsTerrific nope.. she decided that after seeing the pilot episode. So you see, I have to watch ‘Louis’ on F/X all by myself… #

  • 2. All you ever wear is double-breasted suits and your Larry “Bud” Melman pajamas. @Late_Show #
  • 1. After all these years, you’re still searching for Dave’s erotic blog. @Late_Show #

I heard some talk..

Friday morning I was off work and stayed home with Callia and Laura. Laura had worked the over night shift Thursday night and was just getting ready to go to bed when Callia wanted to go upstairs and get some breakfast. I took her up there and fired up a pot of coffee and tried to figure out what to fix for her. She grabbed an apple out of the bowl on the table and started eating that. “Sweet!” I thought, “that solves that problem.”

Mr. Mom put some dishes away and was straightening up the kitchen / dining room. When the coffee was ready I fixed myself a cup and had the tv on. Laura came upstairs after a few minutes and asked Callia if she had eaten breakfast. Callia said, “No. I heard some talk about breakfast.. but I didn’t get any breakfast.”

Is there any doubt who she takes after? Callia is a three foot tall female version of me. I fear the future.
