Here’s a Hall and Oates classic. The opening keyboards pretty much sum up the 1980s. Melanie Samarasinghe described Daryl Hall’s singing style perfectly: “He just gets so into it.”

It’s funny when you see a dog barking and the owner’s like, “Oh I know, Sparky, I know,” like they know. Truth…you don’t know. Right now your dog probably wants to dry hump a beanbag chair or shit out a spool of twine. Or maybe he wants to know why people keep talking to him like he’s a friggin’ idiot. Whatever’s going on in that pea-brained dog head of his, I’m sure you don’t know what it is, so don’t tell him you know. He doesn’t understand you. And If he did, he’d probably tell you why he’s barking.

This woman wrote the word “MUSIC” on her hand. I thought it was somewhat of a broad reminder. Like she was saying to herself,
“If you hear a strange noise coming from your headphones or out of a car or in a department store, DO NOT PANIC, it is just music.”
It’s like writing the words “DOGS WITH WIGS” on your hand in case you get sad during the day, you have a reminder that when dogs wear wigs, it makes you happy.

Ok, I know it’s been over a year since Obama’s game changing campaign for presidency. I also know it’s been over a year since every other prankster with Photoshop doctored the ubiquitous Shepard Fairey “Change” poster and made it their facebook profile pic. In retrospect, that shit was HILARIOUS. But I haven’t learned Photoshop, and my sense of humor has always been a bit out of date (4 REO Speedwagon references per stand-up set), so I ask YOU, the viewer, to travel back and imagine how knee-slappingly uproarious my face would have looked on that poster. Just imagine it. Close your eyes. Got it? Pretty good, right? Well I’ll up the ante. Imagine now that instead of the word “CHANGE,” it said “BALLS.” Really gotcha now, don’t I?
Here are some tools to help you with the imagination process..
