I'm in my therapist's lobby and found this, they asked Garrison Keillor how he mastered storytelling and he said "I didn't. There's no mastery to be had. You love the attempt. You dont master a story any more than you master a river, you feel lucky to canoe down it." That seems allegorical on so many levels and makes me happy.

stadium pal

I'm fascinated by Stadium Pal and I found David Sedaris talking about them on Letterman!

And here's my lady love Amy Sedaris on Martha Stewart. You all know how I feel about Martha and I love how Amy gets some brilliant digs in.

My favorite part:
Martha: "No, I don't live alone! I have five cats and three dogs..."
Amy: "Oh, those people."

i am so g.d. busy

that i only have time to write about my death pool picks for 2010. These are the celebrities I predict will kick it next year. Actually they weren't really chosen based on probability, because who would've thought Michael Jackson and Billy Mays would die this year? Billy Mays here! There's still time for you to send your Death Pool picks to Grapes of Rad before the new year.

Okay, so: my picks are

Norm MacDonald
Steve Jobs
Lindsay Lohan
Pete Doherty
Brian Posehn
Ralphie May
Richard Lewis
Artie Lang
Pat Sajak
Steve Buscemi

On the bench:
Dave Coulier
David Hasselhoff
Barack Obama

norm macdonald

I'm on a Norm MacDonald youtube streak and church-laughing listening to him at work, this might have been my favorite, when he was on The View like ten years ago. The View women all deserve wedgies and he gives them to them all verbally. This one doesn't have when he kept saying that Clinton killed Vince Foster and Barbara kicked him off though. I need to find that one.

But the best is when he's on the Adam Carolla show and they start talking about Kenny Rogers lyrics, I was dying the whole way through.

I think that Norm and Christopher Walken and Billy Corgan could all meld into one.

i can't believe this is real

I do most of my blogging these days via facebook & twitter cause it's all I have time for (140 characters or less) but this is the most fascinating thing I've seen in so long - Richard Nixon talking about "those queers" on All in the Family. So hilarious and crazy!
