Oklahoma City Melee

    At the comedy club tonight, the Worthington native told a story about taking a bus trip from the Twin Cities to Dallas- Ft. Worth, and becoming part of a melee on the way, in Oklahoma City. Something about a clash between the bus riders and the locals at a gas station in the middle of the night. He did his best to break it up, but still became a part of it. A Russian girl, now based in LA, was also on the lineup, she is a Facebook friend and I hadn't seen her perform in a while. She did jokes about being afraid of hemorrhoids, bird watching, and liked to say 'These are tough times'. When I was driving home from the club I liked hearing 'Someone like you' by Adele on my car radio.
Morton Salt did ones about Walgreen, and being punk rock. Blind Side did ones about not being allowed to watch the Simpsons, and being adopted. Trailer park girl was wearing a cat shirt, and did one about faking a period. Tetris comic did one about a show he did at a gay bar. the fever comic did ones about airport sandwiches, and being arrested in Iowa. Maryland native did one about having a dog on the patio being like when he watches hockey. Others were about his condo, Urkel, and yoga pants. Fantasia did one about being suspended at school. School bouncer did ones about Redbox, Magic Johnson advising his kid, and wearing purple at a funeral. Bathtub comic did ones about a zoo escape, and an upsell after euthanasia of his pet. Louisiana native did ones about Neosporin, a quarter on his gut, and a toaster- as show closer.
    I took the remaining cupcakes from the picnic to work, at first they weren't getting eaten where I left them in my department so I decided to move them to the main break room, which is a higher traffic area. They were all eaten by midday, when I went in there to have soup for lunch. They were left on a table next to a plastic grocery store basket full of various vegetables. It made me think of what has been depicted in TV shows and movies before- a 'Crisis of conscience'. An angel and devil spring up on opposite shoulders, trying to advise the main character. I had some popcorn at midday as well, at Candy Land nearby.
