Gay Baseball Anyone?

For those of you who have never checked out our link to Doug Stanhope’s website, you are missing out on a real treat. With Hicks dead, Pryor out of commission and Chris Rock making bad movies, Stanhope is about the best gigging comedian around at the moment and his latest shtick had Tom and I practically falling off our chairs when we read it.

The Context: Washington DC – City fathers have in their wisdom decided to locate a new baseball team slap bang in the middle of the local gay district, buying up their businesses and clubs and basically wrecking their whole scene in that annoying “fuck you, we’re doing it” manner city councils tend to do these things.
Using his innate ability to combine hilarity with Alexandrian logic, Stanhope suggests to the gay community that they threaten to “adopt” the new team and “get busy” in the stands during the matches.
As Stanhope himself says:

“They will not back down from threats of losing the gay vote in your district. They are not worried about your threats of lawsuits, either - c'mon, you're gay not Jewish. But the threat of 20,000 guys sucking cock in the stands during the 7th inning stretch? Maybe then they'll move to the industrial park.”

His site is full of this kind of cracking stuff so do yourself the proverbial and check it out in our links section. You must be eighteen!

Are either of you fans of David Cross? He's quite Hicks-esque in that he doesn't give a shit. I've got the first 3 seasons of Mr Show if either of you are interested in borrowing them at some point.

Yeah I have a couple of CDs of David Cross's stand up. I think we did a post on him and Mr Show a few months back.

Let me be the first to take up your kind offer and say yes I would love to borrow the first 3 seasons of Mr Show.

Cheers Tommy.
