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

    Marmite & Vegemite and fortunately almost non-existent here, on the right side of the Atlantic. We do, however, have to accept responsibility for SPAM. It makes one hypothesize as to what would be the effect of:

    • breeding their respective inventors
    • breeding these culinary cul-de-sacs

      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 Two bits I have heard many times: 1) Send the student loan people to find Bin Laden (obviously out of date now), and 2) cats using a rock zen garden as a litter box.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.

      Those are good bits. You never gave it a shot? If you pass through Chicago, you should.

      I'm sorry to hear that, but more curious by, how? Really, I've found that comics are strange and difficult people to be friends with. A lot of comics are jealous that I'm engaged to one, it makes it a lot easier to date or marry a fellow comic.

        I have lost 10-15 pounds since doing this improv thing, down from my stand up weight. 2 hour competition per week plus 5-10 hours of practice seems to be working. It's very physical for the whole time.

          Keep it that way. When you stop moving and being physical, your body goes into shut down mode. I started getting physical again, running and baseball, and my legs don't hurt anymore and my general health and well being is way up. ;)

                I have opened for a few in my (very) local area, but I have developed on online relationship with many comics, including Richard Belzer. (Although I had many of my non-comic friends ask for a FB friendship with him resulting in a lot of FB wannabees. Rich has been mad at me for about a year over that...) To whom are you engaged? Not a lot of good female comics. I opened for Tracy Smith once. That's the biggest female comic I've helped open for. As for getting on track with being friends with comics, I frequented a very small outlet close to where I live. A manager of the site led me to meet Costaki Economopolis (the biggest name in show-business via the Bob & Tom radio show), and a lot of my comic friends started with Costi's mutual comic friends. I've met many comics and I've been given AWESOME feedback from them, but I just can't be on the road like that, for that long. (I have eleven cats, and two cockatoos. Just dealing with one cat in my little car is enough.) I have a bit about being the only female American in my computer science courses, but my bit that gets the best laughs is talking about spring. "Personally I HATE spring. I am allergic to grass. My husband is allergic to yard work. I have to hire a guy every year the flowers bloom."

                Whatever...eventually....blah, blah, blah.

                  Well, you have a kitchen and you have a bedroom, make your own math. Just restrict their access to the living room. Keep this room for you, that’s why they call it a “living room”.
