Quote Of The Day
Danny's got another boxing match tonight with 65 year-old former lawyer Robert Shapiro, most famous for becoming a national folk hero for his defense of O.J. Simpson.

During the weekend Danny saw Sylvester Stallone at a party. They got to talking, Danny told him he was nervous about the fight, that his only advantage is his punching power (Shapiro is in fantastic shape and boxes regularly), and he doesn't want to seriously injure a 65 year old man.

Stallone had no qualms, said he would hospitalize him without feeling bad in the slightest, and went on to describe how he should do it.

Danny: And I said, "So you'd do this to an 85 year old?" He goes (mimicking Stallone's punch-drunk retard voice), "I gotta tell ya, once this guy must've been 90 and he wouldn't lower his umbrella, so I couldn't see. So I told him to put down his umbrella. He wouldn't put down his umbrella, so I smacked him in the ear and closed the umbrella around his head. Must've been close to a 100 years old."
Adam (explaining to the audience): See, when it rains at a funeral... sometimes people have to open up an umbrella...

Maybe Stallone can get away with being so vicious towards the seniors since he's one now himself.


Happy Belated Birthday, T. Congratulations on turning 29 1/2!


Ooh, here's a short two-minute Adam rant about not being able to get out of his driveway. Trust me, you'll understand his pain.
