Back seat driver

Recently, we were stuck in a bit of traffic. We were positioned about 10 cars back from the red light that had turned green not more than a nanosecond before when the following conversation transpired:

Wil - "Drive! Mumma! Drive!"

Mumma - "Don't sweat me, Wil!"

Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav...

If you know me, you know I loves me some Comedy Central...(except for Sarah Silverman, Lil' Bush, and Drawn Together). South Park is funnier and more relevant every season that it's on. Reno 911 is the perfect campy comedy. I loved last season's Half Way Home. Plus, they rerun SCRUBS like a motherfucker! It's great. This pregnancy would have been twice as long without Comedy Central. Watching Jon Stewart's Daily Show is like being in my head, hearing my stream of consciousness every evening when I watch the Nightly World News. I suspect that I only watch the Nightly World News so that the Daily Show will make sense to me, but that is probably a horrible thing to admit.


I know that it's not really a roast in the tradition of Friar's Roasts when Comedy Central does one these days but I tune in for all of them. I don't like that Comedy Central uses their "staff" comics like Greg Geraldo, Lisa Lampinelli, Jeffrey Ross, Jimmy Kimmel, etc. They are truly fucking funny but in most cases they may or may not even know the roastee. Sure, they mix it up with people from the roastee's life but I don't think that embodies the original spirit of a Friar's Roast. And they also roast non-roastworthy folks (c'mon, Pamela Anderson?!) sometimes...

So, I tuned in for Flavor Flav's roast last night and there was some bed shaking laughter going on in my house for sure! Poor Justin was trying to sleep.. I thought the funniest moment was when Katt Williams said that Carrot Top looked like the child of Ronald McDonald and Wendys!
