So I recently discovered, as the title may indicate, that Huey Lewis, with or without the News, is funny now.
I wish somebody had said something, I mean, jesus, I've been sitting around with all sorts of potential material for the last twenty years. And I desperately need new material. Ask anybody.
So in hopes that I can somehow help some poor sucker in the future avoid this very problem, I'm going to publish a short list of 10 things that are indeed comic gold, but which you may not have on your radar, but you should if you don't, and so you might want to have them because they're funny now whether you knew it or not but now you do.
grab a napkin and clean your glasses, here we go:
1) Huey Lewis (it's official now)
2) The Pythagorean Theorum
3) The Finnish people
4) Certain kinds of rascism
5) Battle Cat
6) Leukemia (around Allen Wong)
7) Monkeys dressed like people
8) Allen Wong dressed like people.
9) Fat Ninjas
10) Sinbad
Now, this is by no means the authoritative list. I welcome any and all additions, and will be publishing subsequent editions as more things become funny.
Together, we can stay on top of this.

So Katie and I were bowling last night at Memory Lanes with our good friends M & H. Fun place, in a very Toledo-ish, blue collar way. To add to the ambiance, the proprietors have started having bands play on a stage that takes up 4 lanes in the center of the alley.
Having been there in the past, we knew to expect some loud 90s cover-band to start playing somewhere around 10:30 or so. But this time, we were in for a special treat.
A large proponderance of slightly wasted looking high schoolers was milling about during the first of our two games - not a good sign. Yes, ladies and gentlemen (and Matt), we were about to be serenaded by a garage band 4 piece whose combined age MIGHT have been 70.
We tolerated them going through their sound check as we got halfway through our second game. The bassist/leader of the band - we'll call him Waist-Haired Headband Boy - stepped up to the mike to introduce his band:
Easy Bleeders
You read that right.
And here's the fun part:
"Uh, huhhuh...
we'd like to dedicate this show...
to all the people...
huhhuhhuh...
too young to get in tonight...
yeah..."
At this point, my dear Katie loses it, laughing with the volume normally reserved for when I hit my head on something.
Waist-Haired Headband Boy hears her and, thinking she's cheering him on, does the point/wink saying,
"huhhuhyeah
...one...
...two...
...three...
BLASTOFF!"
Katie responds with a hearty, "I HATE YOU!"
But alas, it was too late.
The rawking had already commenced.

CHRISTIAN CONGRESSMEN SWEAR ON PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
Washington D.C. (January 6, 2007) -- In a controversy that eerily mirrors the recent dispute over a congressman's use of the Koran, several Christian representatives have asked to be sworn in on the best-seller, The Purpose Driven Life.
"We were asked to use the most meaningful text in our life," said Rep. John T. McGruder of Colorado Springs, from his state's seventh district. “And, as far as I can see, my Pastor preaches more from Rick Warren than the Bible."
McGruder and Rep. James R. Newhell of Wheaton (R-Ill) both petitioned Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to be allowed to use the famous evangelical guidebook in the swearing in ceremony at the Capitol.
Reactions from other Congressman and public figures were mixed.
"I see no reason not to allow others to use their own books -- as long as ALLAH AKBAR!" shouted Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn). Rep. Ellison, who is a Muslim, had requested to use the Koran for his swearing in ceremony and is, apparently, the inspiration for the requests from Representatives McGruder and Newhell.
Well-known talk show host Dennis Prager was among those who roundly condemned Rep. Ellison's request. Prager, who is Jewish, was also opposed to the use of The Purpose Driven Life.
"I don't understand why a Christian wouldn't use the Bible, especially an evangelical," Prager asked rhetorically. "Do they think they've used up all the material there?"
Other evangelicals welcome the change.
"This open-mindedness is truly godly," said Lincoln Bradford, pastor and noted praise-song author. "I hope eventually they'll use more personally inspiring items: worship music CDs, Ron Dicianni paintings, the 'Foot Prints in the Sand' poem. This country and the modern church were founded on a christian's right to have a personalized relationship with God- regardless of what's in the Bible."|W|P|116827367761624280|W|P|BREAKING NEWS FROM PAPA HOWIE|W|P|chowie@norefundstheatre.com1/09/2007 10:58:39 PM|W|P|Shinobi-wan|W|P|huh...granted I don't see why they swear in on texts anyway, expecially religious ones...but then I'm a spiritualistic pagan so what do I know....1/12/2007 04:37:10 PM|W|P|Matty Boom Boom|W|P|When the need arises, I always swear on "Legend of Zelda" for the original Nintendo.1/12/2007 04:58:50 PM|W|P|Shinobi-wan|W|P|hmmm..I think matty"s on to something
