Hines Ward

    I was onstage at the comedy club tonight. The MC was the Milwaukeean, and he is a Steeler fan. He was wearing a Hines Ward jersey, number 86. I read through the Wikipedia page and it spoke of his appearances on 'Dancing with the stars'. I said I still have a Steeler trash can. I had liked the team after reading about their Super Bowl wins in the 1970s, with the 'Steel curtain' defense and the likes of Franco Harris and Terry Bradshaw on offense.
    It went really well performing tonight, I did all new material which was bold. Two of the jokes were inspired by interactions with the big dog, who also performed tonight. These jokes were what I call 'Indentured servant' and 'Ear wax removal'. I also did ones about my watch, the 4-hour coffee date, and a coworker who would like to see me perform when her schedule allows. I found out Mason City is attending the same wedding as I am this weekend. This shouldn't surprise me much when it is a comedian friend getting married, but I hadn't spoken with many so far about if they would be there. I still need to find a gift but the registry said I can look at Target and IKEA, and the latter is one I haven't seen for a while so it may be the perfect excuse for a return visit.
   A boss in another department said in the afternoon he would be doing the letters, I was about to start them when I was notified. I didn't have much heartburn about this, especially when I had an earlier message asking us to help out the political science guy with things like the special requests I have done before. Two of the three were on the payoff report, I had crossed them out expecting someone else to do them. At midday I went to a nearby Walgreen and used a postcard for points on the loyalty program for the month. I got a bag of Old Dutch 'Puffcorn'- like popcorn- and a bottle of flavored water. I needed the card as it had a barcode to be scanned. I had meant to use it Sunday when I was doing the photo order. I would like to think I will make another visit this month to get more points. It seems to be hard to figure out how to get points when it is on select items or if one spends over a certain amount.
     I liked how I found enough time to go to a community center a few miles away for a spaghetti dinner this evening before I had to head to the comedy club. This is an annual event, I had attended it before. I got plenty of pictures, including ones of what I found nearby like a tennis court, a football practice, and railroad crossing.
     Besides me, there was a good lineup all around. Mason City did ones about Zoloft, 'fight or flight', Ace of Base, visiting angels, half day kindergarten, and Paul Bunyan. Resistable did ones about seeing a psychic, a hipster roommate, air mattress, and drum kit. Others were about talking about Nicki Minaj at Applebee's, adopt a highway, a waterbed, carpet matching drapes, and colorblind. Auto correct did ones about scrap booking, babies have good credit, and you're so brave. Big dog did ones about bad porn, where's your furniture?, suicide by cop, and Bruno Mars. Laundry comic did ones about a polar bear plunge, a funeral procession, mowing the lawn, and having 4 kids. The red faced comic did ones about DUIs, birthday wishes, and working at a pizza place. A comic who hs performed at Sturgis did ones about 'pizza in oven', door to door alarms, and a tortilla maker. Fantasia did ones about role playing, a Batman shirt, his mom's CIA mind control, chain smoking and Rockford Files, and the Illuminati. International Falls did ones about a 2-3 birth control pill night, a street harasser, dog rescue/police dog, and an IUD. The Milwaukeean did ones about the Dukes of Hazzard, she is affordable, redneck woman, and Lazyboy furniture. Others were about not being Calvin, as DNA makes it impossible. Even others were about Halle Berry, a Midwest physique, and parents who mis-pronounce words.
