My Wife Says I Don't Take Her Anywhere



This stuff counts even though it was just before we got married. We saw Fiddler On The Roof just a week before the fateful day of August 26th, 1990.
And I think I took her to a couple of places since. I can't find the stubs though:)

Here is something very funny and nostalgic. Sam Kinison's first performance on David Letterman: November 14, 1985. I did amateur stand up at Yuk Yuk's in Toronto back in 1984. I'm sure I could have been a contender if I persevered. At least it got rid of my shyness.

  2. Dude, you should take the woman out at least once in ten years. Jewish men are supposed to make good husbands, don't ruin our rep! :)

  4. I loved Kinnison!

    But I got a problem with this video -- it only plays for 49 seconds, and then it shuts down. I tried it a few times. WTF?

  5. Chimera, it works for me. Maybe it is a browser issue...whatever that means.

    I use Firefox.

  6. I saw Sammy three times on stage. I memorized his special on Rodneys HBO special and I memorized his own HBO special. The whole Jesus skit. "Do you think Jesus will come back. Sure, what has it been 2000 years? Jesus they need a voice of peace and love. Sure I will go when I can play the pianio again. Look Jesus eclipse. I am the only savior who can use his hand as a whistle. I WILL BE RIGHT THERE!"

    There are so many others. Thanks I am going to laugh all night.
