        Vegemite? Really? That's just Marmite for girls. Girls who have had their taste-buds removed.

        Surprisingly, and to the horror of my fiancee, I do like Marmite a lot. Never had vegemite though.

                Congrats for not dying for 365 consecutive days! (Sorry, we're a bit pessimistic in my house.) Remember that cake brings everyone together. Just ask Jim Gaffigan. Who stole one of my jokes for his Big Baby album. Yes, I am still angry.

                Whatever.

                                    If that thieving bastard only stole your joke, consider yourself lucky. He ran off with my heart! My fiancee's cousin dated his daughter. He didn't know until he met the guy at her house. Could you imagine that?

                                      He stole my bowling joke (which he learned via Pat Dixon, who I am NO longer friends with...another long story) and slightly changed it. I didn't even know he had a kid, and I knew him LOOONG before he became famous. Very odd.

                                        The whole bit? Christ, that's some of his actual good stuff. I don't find him to be incredible, he has his moments, but he can hardly be re-watched. The weird thing is that so many big comedians don't write ANY of their shit. I know people that have written for touring comedians. Once people get the bookings, the don't want to waste their time writing shit. The movie Funny People has some accurate points I hear (except stars don't make their writers their assistants).

                                          The whole bit? Christ, that's some of his actual good stuff. I don't find him to be incredible, he has his moments, but he can hardly be re-watched. The weird thing is that so many big comedians don't write ANY of their shit. I know people that have written for touring comedians. Once people get the bookings, the don't want to waste their time writing shit. The movie Funny People has some accurate points I hear (except stars don't make their writers their assistants).

                                          I had a joke I wrote in MIDDLE SCHOOL about wanting to be a bowling coach, so that when the newscast asked me my advice to my team it would be, "Well, just roll the ball down the lane and hit those balls." It came from watching bowling on ABC on early Sunday mornings. Why the heck does a bowler need a coach? I told the joke to Pat Dixon who I know passed it to Jim Gaffigan, and he used it in Big Baby. I did not say anything to my husband and when he first heard Jim's bit he yelled, "HEY, THAT'S YOUR JOKE!" and doesn't remember most of my routine. Two bits I have heard many times: 1) Send the student loan people to find Bin Laden (obviously out of date now), and 2) cats using a rock zen garden as a litter box. I'm friends with a lot of comics and we've had discussions here and there about "stealing" jokes. I'm at least slightly smug that Jim's popularity has dropped in the last few years.

                                          It's spring which I hate. I'm allergic to grass, and my husband is allergic to yard work. Now I have to hire someone.
