I think this bull decided to give everyone a laugh today by putting on his comedy horns. It certainly made me laugh.
Taking a dip in the icy cold holy Ganges in the chilly month of January is comedy for some and tragedy for some.

I had the honor of meeting Dolphy, Philippine Cinema's Comedy King.
At 80, he still got the wit and energy of a 20 year-old, and he was really so funny, even in person.
It was an unforgettable experience for me, being a comedy writer :)

A wonderful night at the Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip. Always gonna love these neon caricatures and, yes, I do recognize all of them!
Flickr more and more becomes a place where people play games and don't care much about others anymore!
I just had another bad experience with a group ( one specific administrator of that group). Unfortunately it was one of the very few groups, that still had a lot of participating members and one of the very few groups I was still active!
Why are there so may freaks on Flickr?
I think it is time to go for me!
I am seriously considering to leave Flickr for good! I know, I will miss some great friends here, but all in all Flickr has become a dumping ground and a battle field!
The Simpson's don't want to be invited to any kind of groups!
They just want to be left alone with their daily life!
Thanks and have a good day!
Homer, I love you!
PS: It was one of my highlights of my life, when I had the honor to meet the Simpson family! Thanks for that!
Un enorme vacío

Un pedido de clemencia
A esta necesidad

A huge void
Mock consistency
Existential madness
Huge delirium
A request for clemency to this need.

German actress Käthe Dorsch (1890-1957) was a famous stage actress in Vienna and Berlin. She also made several silent and sound films.
Katharina Dorsch was born in 1890, in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz, Germany. She was the daughter of a gingerbread baker from Nürnberg (Neurenberg). After commercial school she followed piano classes and as a fifteen year old she started singing in a chor in neurenberg, and subsequently in operettas in Hanau and Mannheim. Her career really started in 1908 as an operetta soubrette with a performance in Wiener Blut/Vienna Blood in Mainz, and in 1911 she moved to Berlin for an engagement at the Neue Operettentheater. More Berlin engagements followed in theatres like the Lessingtheater and the Deutschen Theater. In 1927 she started to work in Vienna and appeared there at the Volkstheater. From 1939 till her death she was a permanent member of the Burgtheater. From 1951 she also appeared again on the stages of Berlin.
As early as 1913 Käthe Dorsch had her first film role in the short, silent comedy Wenn die Taxe springt (Danny Kaden, 1913). In 1920 she married colleague film star Harry Liedtke, with whom she had appeared in the fairy tale Dornröschen/Sleeping Beauty (Paul Leni, 1917). They were a couple for eight years. She played in several films, including Der Blusenkönig/The King of Blouses (Ernst Lubitsch, 1917), Erborgtes Glück/Hided Happiness (Arthur Wellin, 1919) with Alexander Moissi, and the August Strindberg adaptation Fräulein Julie/Miss Julie (Felix Basch, 1921) with Asta Nielsen. Then followed a long interval till 1930, when she appeared in Die Lindenwirtin/The Linden Tree Landlady (Georg Jacoby, 1930) with Hans Heinz Bollmann. The sound film offered her more possibilities to express herself. She impersonated important women like Maria Theresia in Trenck, der Pandur/Trenck, the Pandur (Herbert Selpin, 1940) and Friederike Caroline Neuber in the melodrama Komödianten/The Comedians (Georg Wilhelm Pabst, 1941). Other popular films in which she appeared were Drei Tage Liebe/Three Days of Love (Heinz Hilpert, 1931) with Hans Albers, the murder mystery Savoy-Hotel 217 (Gustav Ucicky, 1936), the Oscar Wilde adaptation Eine Frau ohne Bedeutung/A Woman of No Importance (Hans Steinhoff, 1936), Mutterliebe/Mother Love (Gustav Ucicky, 1939), and Morgen werde ich verhaftet/Tomorrow I Will Be Arrested (Karl-Heinz Stroux, 1939) with Ferdinand Marian. During the war, she played a heroic role by saving colleagues in trouble. For this she used her friendship with Hermann Göring, whom she know from her childhood.
After the war, Käthe Dorsch devoted her self to the Burgtheater for which she played major parts in classic plays. Incidentally she appeared in films like Singende Engel/Singing Angels (Gustav Ucicky, 1947) with Hans Holt, Fahrt ins Glück/Journey Into Happiness (Erich Engel, 1948) with Rudolf Forster and Hildegard Knef, the melodrama Der Bagnosträfling/ The Bagno Convict (Gustav Fröhlich, 1949) with Paul Dahlke, Winnie Markus, and Paul Hörbiger, Das Kuckucksei/The Cuckoo’s Egg (Walter Firner, 1949) with Curd Jürgens, and Regine (1955) with Horst Buchholz. In 1956 she caused a media scandal, when she slapped Vienna theatre critic Hans Weigel in the face in broad daylight. In the following trial she was condemned to pay 500 Schilling. Käthe Dorsch died in 1957, in Vienna, Austria. She determined her heritage for a foundation to help poor artists. This foundation still exists today. In Vienna there is now a Käthe-Dorsch-Gasse, and in Berlin a street is called the Käthe-Dorsch-Ring.

Comedy is fun. And funny. It can be something you totally saw coming, or it can be something completely unexpected. The great thing about comedy is that it can mean so many different things to different people.
For example, my son thinks all great comedy begins with the word naked. And underwear. And wee-wee. All of the bathroom words, really. In fact, if you want to make him laugh, ask him to say naked underwear wee-wee fanny without laughing.
He can't do it.
For my beloved, it's all about a pie in the face or a guy getting hit in the crotch. Although, I don't understand why a man would think that another man getting cracked in the junk is funny. I certainly would never think that a woman getting her boobs smashed in was hilarious. We just call that a mammogram.
(and there's nothing funny about it)
(and there's nothing sexy about the gynecologist either)
(that doesn't have anything to do with comedy, I just want to make that clear, because It always seems to come up)
("The stirrups. Yeeeahh, baby."......No.)
I'm getting away from my point. My point is that comedy is funny.
Here are a few things that I think are funny:
1. People falling down.
2. People walking into glass doors.
.
3. People falling down after walking into a glass door.
4. Anything on America's Funniest Home Videos that's not about dogs or guys getting kicked in the crotch.
5. The audio book of Ellen Degeneres' Seriously...I'm Kidding.
(I laughed so hard the other day on the way to the grocery store I almost drove off the road)
6. Vince Vaughn.
7. Nora Ephron.
8. Jenna McCarthy.
(Not Jenny. Jenna. Jenna makes me belly-laugh so hard it actually tones my stomach muscles in a way that never doing sit-ups has not. Jenny makes me point and laugh in a mocking, horrified way.)
9. My son asking to be home schooled so he doesn't have to get his 6th grade booster shot.
10. Every line in Annie Hall,
Bull Durham, and
When Harry Met Sally (see #7)
I hope you find something to laugh at today. I hope you laugh so hard you cry, and your sides hurt and you get a headache. But in a good way.
I hope you know how much I love ya'.
Seriously.
Tenacious D blasted the Santa Barbara Bowl last night. Great show to kick off their tour! Here are Jack Black and Kyle Gass - pre-show - always funny!

Blackpool's brand new Comedy Carpet sits in the shadow of the world famous Blackpool Tower – and it’s one of the largest pieces of public art ever commissioned in the UK. Artist Gordon Young, in association with leading design agency Why Not Associates, created the Blackpool Comedy Carpet. 850 writers and comedians are represented on the Comedy Carpet - with letters ranging in size from a few centimetres to almost a metre tall so that the laughs can be enjoyed from all sides and from both close up and at height from the Tower.
Blacktop Comedy is an Improv Comedy Theater in Rocklin, CA.
In honor of Teen Slasher’s return to Blacktop Comedy. We asked the cast “why should people come see Teen Slasher?
What is Teen Slasher? 6 performers take the stage and the audience decides the title of the improvised story and who will play each of the stock characters; the jock, the nerd, the good girl, the slut, the rebel, and the druggie.
