TheMainMeal on Miserable Men Show - 9/12/2010
I saw this hilarious video yesterday. It was so good that I posted it on a few of my friends' facebook pages.
One of those friends is Sirius/XM Radio Personality Shuli Egar. I had a feeling he would like it, so I decided to listen to the Miserable Men Show on Howard 101, hoping there might be a chance to hear it. And they did.
I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. My neck was hurting.

Eastern Sociological Society - Philadelphia, PA - April 1st, 1995
I presented a paper to the Eastern Sociological Society in 1995.

I showed how the music of John Zorn can be used as a lens to understand different postmodern theories, including Baudrillard's Game Theory, Jameson's Theory of the Pastiche and Gergen's Saturated Society theory, multi-media theories, and other things I can't quite remember right now.
I was 19 years old. It was fun, but I couldn't really appreciate it. I was filled with self-loathing, as usual. I thought I was a failure, for some reason. I'm not sure why. I got a lot of praise. I wish my father had been more enthusiastic, though. His criticism stung as we were walking away from the hotel. His criticism always stung.
I will try to write more comprehensively about it later. Stay tuned for updates.
Warm Regards,

The King Helped "the best True Crime writer of all time" in 2002.
After I did what I could for Ms. Rule, I told her that I had read one of her books. When she asked me what I thought, I began to cry because I hadn't been able to finish it. She told me I should "finish it!"
I'm happy to say that I did finally finish The Stranger Beside Me in June. It's a difficult book to read, but definitely worth it. Her thesis statement is based on Hamlet's To Be or Not to Be, which as you know, is my favorite scene to act out.
Warm Regards,

EBA vs. WFB, Jr.: "This is the reason America will never get anywhere."
When he was but a prince, The King of Funny Faces asked William F. Buckley, Jr. a question when he came to speak at West Chester University, April 1996: "What is your stand on the "Timber Salvage Rider?"
The father of modern conservatism rolled his eyes, and a room full of two-hundred rich white people with nice watches and BMW's shouted at the King of Funny Faces. They screamed "Go home!" "Why don't you get out of here!" and worse. The King was scared.
When William F. Buckley, Jr. spoke, he said, "The world is a giant ashtray we put things into..." and then gestured as if to extinguish as cigarette out on the podium.

Then he said something about, "I question the juvenile nature of people who treat all animals as pets," but the Timber Salvage Rider wasn't about animals, it was about trees.

That summer, the King of Funny Faces spent two weeks (one in June and one in July) aggressively lobbying over 200 Congressional offices to repeal the Timber Salvage Rider with a group of activists from all over the country (mostly the Pacific Northwest) led by Former Congressman Jim Jontz of Indiana. The head of the Forest Service gave the King of Funny Faces a dirty look at a Congressional hearing at which only one dissenting voice against the Timber Salvage Rider spoke, and he sat right next to the Secretary of Agriculture in his conference room in the Department of Agriculture Building.
It was a good time, but it was bittersweet. Not only did the King of Funny Faces find out that his cat died on the last day of his first trip to D.C. We ended up losing the vote by the closest margin possible, two votes! The final tally was 211-209. It was a very sad time for us, and for the trees and wildlife that depend on the trees in areas that now look like this.
