I’m back with a vengence! Yes, I deliver a show that is almost an hour and twenty minutes! Some people would call that two shows, but not me. I give, baby. I give.
I went to New York, Las Vegas and Mars. I rented 4 or 5 cars. Drove four hours to get my luggage in New York and paid $160 to get it to Las Vegas. I had a dull migraine that lasted 12 days. I can get cell service anywhere in America expect at my mother’s and my mother-in-law’s. When I was a kid, my friend Andrew and I burned what would probably be thousand and thousands of pounds sterling worth of newsprint. I finally have Stan Lee’s autograph and I don’t think I care.

OK, how did you embed the recipient’s name in the show comments?
That was a bit of a shock…..

Dan, it’s not just Stan Lee – I saw a poster in B&N advertising a book signing of a children’s math book, with big letters announcing that the author would ONLY sign the book, not DVDs or videos. What kind of math nerd has her own DVDs? Well, turns out it was Danica McKeller, a/k/a Winnie Cooper on “The Wonder Years,” and author of “Math Doesn’t Suck” and “Kiss My Math.” I guess her publisher/publicist thinks her TV past detracts from her being taken seriously as a math scholar… although don’t the titles of her books sorta do that anyway?
I also have to tell you I immediately guessed Mars 2112 when you started talking about the “underground plaza.” I used to work in the office building above that restaurant. It was about 7-8 years ago, but my experience there was not nearly as pleasant as yours. It has long been stuck in my head as the worst food I’ve had in Manhattan (and not even the worst food I’ve paid for, as my colleague and I were checking it out as a possible corporate event space, so were comped our lunches.) I don’t think I’ll go back to revise my opinion, (too many restaurants, too little time!) but will definitely take yours into account and assume it’s gotten better in the past few years!
Harold, it’s part of the magic of the system I use for the Premium Pill shows.

Medusa, maybe I overstated my opinion of the food for effect/affect. It was a FUN play to take the KIDS. I wouldn’t take an adult there for the food. Sorry, Martians.
NNNNNnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooo!!!
You did NOT burn all those comic books!!!!
Nerds everywhere felt a disturbance in The Force, as if millions of Comic Books cried out in pain, and suddenly were silenced.
Hey, thanks for throwing my voice mail into the ‘cast.
That was sort of my Reverend Pfleger impression. If you don’t remember him from a couple months ago, Google him.
Blatant campaigning disguised as a wacky drop-in.
Woo hoo to Melissa for sticking it to Southwest. Man, i thought it was just me who had those kind of things happen to them. I really don’t know how you cope with all this “Sir” shit either. When I have been to the USA I want to rip that Sir out of their mouths and shove it up their asses as it is kind of like an anti-politeness thing, sarcastic (we recocgnise sarcasm really quickly here). I have not called anyone Sir since I left school.
That Austin Powers english accent was great too, kind of like Dick Van Dykes son!
Hey Dan, I’ve also spent time in Toys-R-Us in Times Square with my daughter and it is definitely jaw-dropping. Did you and H make it upstairs to the full-size audio-animatronic T-Rex? That impressed me as much as the ferris wheel.
Here’s a shot of the wheel for those who can’t visualize it:
