Sisyphus Brewing

    I went to a comedy show at Sisyphus Brewing in Minneapolis, Grizzly Adams was doing a CD recording. I liked getting a poster after the show, and I had the postcard with the same image earlier. I added another comic to the ring of honor, I was going to have poster artist take it but Jane Goodall, a newer comic, saw this and asked to take it. Mason City's friend, back from New York for orthopedic rehab, was the one added. I got a shout out during the show, and I know it is up to the editor as to if it makes the final copy. I saw the guest of honor after the show and said I like supporting my friends, and the only thing I like more is stage time for me.
   In the afternoon I went to another high school football game, St. Paul Highland Park beat Fridley 21-20. There were 7 turnovers, but the most memorable thing was an HP coach going down right before the winning kick. Fainted due to heat, heart attack? Don't know. Ambulance arrived, I left before it did.
    I liked arriving before the opening kickoff on this one. HP first and goal, intercepted. Fridley 3 and out, punt to the 29. HP QB run and hit pylon, ruled fumble and touchback. Fridley punt to the 41, HP 4th down pass to the end zone, ruled out of bounds, over on downs. End of first quarter, no score. Punt, HP starts around own 30. Fridley player down. HP over on downs, Fridley on own 46. Punt, HP at own 23. Intercepted, Fridley at HP 27. Over on downs, HP at own 30. I hear 'you are so wrong right now' from a crowd member. He is yelling at somebody on the track. Then he talks to a cop. Over on downs, Fridley long run for TD, Fridley up 7-0, 1:12 left in 2nd quarter. HP at own 37. Punt, Fridley at own 18. Second half, muff on kick, HP begins at Fridley 15. HP TD, 2 point play fails, Fridley up 7-6. Another high snap on shotgun deep in own territory for Fridley. HP intercepted, Fridley at HP 31. Fridley fumble, HP at own 1. Punt, near midfield. Over on downs, HP at own 24. Long punt, Fridley at own 29. Fridley player down. Punt, HP at Fridley 33. Pass for TD, 2 point pass, HP up 14-7. 21 seconds left in 3rd quarter. End of 3rd quarter, HP up 14-7. Over on downs, HP at own 31. Long pass play into Fridley territory. Over on downs, Fridley on own 20. 80-yard pass for TD, now tied 14-14. There is 4:44 left. Fridley gets it on onside kick. Unsportsmanlike conduct, offsetting penalties. 31 yard pass play, Fridley up 20-14, extra point kick failed, 3:21 left. Punt, Fridley at own 37. Fridley player down. Fake punt, over on downs. HP at Fridley 43. Intercepted, Fridley at own 45. Punt, HP at own 13, 1:15 left. Then an 87 yard td pass. After HP goes up 21-20, there is a long pass play, so not over yet. Final play a fumble, HP wins.
   At the comedy club, Happy Meal was MC. He did ones about don't puke onstage, ending an open relationship, who gives the most advice, Plenty of Fish, government shutdown, can't get Summit, Como Zoo, so are most STDs, polar bears, all my friends are dead, kill him for free stuff, and 2 words per letter. Bus Fare did ones about don't poop in this bar, gay marriage, Muppets, Garfield the cat, cast of Deadwood, uncomfortable with hands, and somebody to drink with. Grizzly did one about healthy appetizers. Fantasia did one about neutral opinions. Others were about job interviews, sweat pants, Batman panties, girls like jerks, Michael Jordan, Pawn America, guns and rent, school suspension, and picture of deadbeat dad. Grizzly as Gustafson did ones about employee party, a thirsty guy, slow Joe, and lawn darts. He continued with ones about clean up messes, saw dust, and
bouncy castle. International Falls did ones about street harasser, friend dumped, cross fit, 364 days no HR, was a punk rocker, emergency contact to prince, bathrooms of the world, a short cop, the Tig

   Then it was grizzly again.
