Holiday Whore

I’m not satisfied with just my own holidays, I want to celebrate yours too!

In December, I like to glom on to other people’s holiday events.  I hit a few house parties,  share a Shabbat dinner, watch a lighted parade, do our annual gingerbread house-making party, get my “carol-on” and crash a particularly, stuffy friend’s office party; three years running.  On a good year, I’ll get to top-off the season, with a well-paid, New Year’s Eve gig, in a lovely destination, with friends.

I am not religious, (despite Catholic schooling) but I do believe that Jesus was a real guy–and probably a really cool guy too.   He must have been a free-spirited, forward-thinking guy who couldn’t help but to joyfully share his vision.  He was an entertainer, a storyteller, a preacher, and I love his birthday parties!  Is it enough that I believe in the messenger?

As a comedian I can’t help but imagine funny situations like Jesus as a teenager, having normal family problems.  I imagine that Joseph had arranged a job interview for him, and spent the whole night before the interview, trying to talk his son into wearing closed-toed shoes.   Arrrgghh, teenagers!

THE WAR ON FACEBOOK – IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER!

I was banned from posting on Facebook for about two weeks. I thought I would die. I posted a picture of Michele Bachman taking a 12-inch corn dog into her mouth with both hands. When I posted it, this soon to be famous picture, was hot off the presses. It was the day of her visit to the Iowa State Fair. Along with the photo, I copied a friend’s caption saying “Hey Marcus, is this how I do it?” and pasted the whole thing into Unicorn Booty’s Facebook Page. Unicorn Booty’s co-owner and FB Administrator commented, “Oh my!” and left the picture to germinate on their page.

I’m Not Sorry! Sorry Seems to be an Easy Word.

I am so tired of the public apologies. After so many, they all seem like they’re being read from the exact same script.

Congressman Wiener’s saga was a real groaner. (That was the only pun I hadn’t heard used yet.) Tracy Morgan seems almost too stupid to hold accountable. And as for the pilot on Southwest; even the “grannies, grandes and gay guys” he works with wouldn’t pity-fu@# him, so I’m guessing he is just as repulsive in real life as he sounds on the flight channel.
