The more I fight it, the worse it gets. I’m becoming such a New York Jew.

Case in point: I bought a New York Knicks hat this weekend. I don’t even like the Knicks (in fact, the almost-but-not-really dream team of Ewing, Oakley, Starks, etc. was probably my least favorite anything of the Nineties). No, I got the hat because it was only $4.50.

Then I talked the dude down to $3.75.

Beeteedubz, Happy passover!

I’m sad youtube didn’t exist when I was in high school.

Some friends, my girlfriend, and I went to my parent’s house for Passover seder, and the entire dinner conversation was this:
“There is no archaeological proof Jews were even in Egypt.”
“Seriously. Jews weren’t slaves.”
“Can you imagine a bunch of Jews building a pyramid?”
“Building anything.”
“Ikea furniture.”
“We didn’t build the pyramids. Maybe we designed them, but we didn’t build them.”
“You’re upsetting your mother.”

Speaking of Seders, don’t you wish someone would make the movie Twister, but with the ten biblical plagues?

I haven’t been this excited for a Hilary Swank movie since:

Cut to: ten years later, winner of 2 Oscars.

A lot of comedians I know needlessly shit on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Now, I’ll admit that watching Larry the Cable Guy can make one think that good ol’ boy comedy is just a brazenly dull, unoriginal, often racist and homophobic, waste of time. But there is a lesser-known talent on the Blue Collar bill, by the name Bill Engvall, who–while I wouldn’t say he’s necessarily white-collar–is definitely a much lighter shade of blue than his colleagues. Seriously, he’s fantastic. I didn’t know anything about him until I watched his Comedy Central special last week. Needless to say, it changed my life.

Bill Engvall delves deep into the issues people care about, saying the types of things most of us are afraid to say.

Now, I know full well most people will be skeptical about this, but they also would never take the time to sit down and watch an entire hour of Engvall (the risk of being caught in the act is much too scary for them). But I feel so passionate about this, that I have gone ahead and condensed Bill Envall’s special, “15 Degrees Off Cool” into a 45 second clip. It may be bite-sized, but it’s all there. I hope you enjoy it:
