When he was a young man working as a dishwasher, they called him "Chicago Red". They did this to distinguish him from his waiter friend, whom they called "Detroit Red". They did not wash dishes and wait tables forever. Do you know what they did?
I'm terrifically excited about this contest I just discovered. They're giving away $2,000,000 to the person who submits the best poem about Lamont Sanford from Sanford and Son. I'm excited because I actually have written a poem about Lamont Sanford from Sanford and Son. I hope I win. Keep your fingers crossed! (Mine are.)
I think it's funny to imagine variations on Danny Glover's line from the Lethal Weapon movies. "I'm gettin' too old for this shit," he says after each intense action scene. I imagine characters of various kinds. "I'm gettin' too young for this shit," says a baby, wiping blood and sweat from his brow and ejecting his now empty clip from his pistol. "I'm gettin' too fat for this shit," says the fat, gritty cop with the donut in one hand and a crossbow in the other. "I'm getting paid too much for this shit," says Tom Cruise. The fun never ends.
Also: Mike always posts funny things. This, however, struck me as particularly hilarious.
Hello, friends. How are you today?
Later. Love.
