Baby Wants Candy

Picture 186I wish I’d come up with Baby Wants Candy as a band name for my yodeling metal band, but a hilarious musical improv troupe got it instead! Baby Wants Candy is a traveling improv troupe that comes up with a completely formed musical on the spot, all themed around the first suggestion they hear shouted from the audience.

When my fabulous friend Jaki took me last Saturday, the theme was CSI: The North Pole.

The two standout performers were Eliza Skinner and this giant blonde guy with crazy psycho eyebrows and I’d love to tell you his name but I can’t find his pic on the website.

Just like any improv, when it’s good, it’s really really good; and when it’s bad, you Tweet your friends to tell them how bad it is.

There are only two more shows in New York (Dec 5 and 12th), and they will be holiday themed – previous audience-suggested titles have included “40 Year Old Virgin Mary”, “It’s Not Christmas Without a Beating” and “I’m the Only Gentile at Hanukkah.”

Hurry over and buy tickets!

  • René Descartes is in a bar at closing time. The bartender asks him if he’d like another drink. Descartes says, “I think not,” and he disappears.
  • A guy walks into a bar in Cork, in Ireland, and asks the barman: “What’s the quickest way to get to Dublin?” “Are you walking or driving?” asks the barman. “Driving,” says a man. “That’s the quickest way,” says the barman.

Six Word Memoirs

So I’m intrigued by the book, “Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure.”

I noodled around with a few but I think this sums it up the best:

*life improved after realizing everyone’s dysfunctional

I know he was insulting me but I took it as a compliment

So I’m walking home from my afternoon run in the East Village, when I see this black dude taking a leak against a tree, right on the sidewalk ahead of me. he’s having a chat with his friend, and appears not only sober but not at all crazy. I kind of shake my head as I walk by, and his friend calls me “cracker” but then the peeing dude says, “NO BUTT.”

If a black dude thinks i have no butt, then my butt must be smaller than I thought it was, woo hoo!!
