But still, I´ll always look for an excuse for a wisecrack. The thing is, now that I live in Spain, I have to remember that my material doesn´t always translate well for locals - falling flat or even causing confusion.

Yukking it up at western New York State's comedy museums

“You’re going to a what?” asked my friend apprehensively. Yup. A hotel.

  • The Bacon Maple doughnut: a fortuitous blend of carbs, meat, fat, salt, and sugar with overtones of, like, bacon. Doesn't it make you want to be in Portland?

  • Just heard a great story on NPR today about how Brit comedian George Egg (yup, that's his real name) cooks his meals away from home using standard hotel room amenities: coffeemaker, iron, even, believe it or not, the Gideon Bible.
