I went to the free Dane Cook show at USF last night. It was part of their back to school peprally. There were 11 novo collegians in our group and I don't think we could have been any more obvious about it or more critically cynical of the proceedings.
First, I think the worst, most horribly thankless job must be MCing a Dane Cook show. Especially if your experience is limited to open mike night, as was obviously our MC's case. Second, being at USF made me realize how lucky I am to be at NCF. There was a guy a row behind me drinking a diet coke like it was a beer. Does that shit just get ingrained during hazing? Also as we watched the welcome back video (which we couldn't see thanks to the roof speakers) the cheer leaders two stepped in time with the music. But here's the thing: it was fucking dark! The only source of light was the video. At one point two SGA yahoos got up on stage and started spouting off "rules." Support the home team, yadda yadda... yoda. Then they got to rule 113: "Be apart of the herd" If our various pretentious jabs and jokes about USF didn't alert those around us of our NCFness, our unabashed laughter most certainly did. Here's the kicker, no one else laughed. They just sort of excepted it as a mantra.
Anyway, Jay Davis, the comedic calm before the storm, came on. Alright let me modify that, he is actually pretty funny and he is a really nice guy. And it was his birthday yesterday... which is sort of relevant. Anyway, then the MAN came to the stage and an hour long Danegasm occured. He played some old stuff then some new stuff, made some stuff up. Best moment of the entire show: he had a running gag with the sign langauge guy where he made the guy say "itchy balls" like 5 times. In the middle of the set the sign guy was replaced by a sign girl unbeknownst to Dane. When he finally caught on, he stopped midjoke and commented," Who the fuck are you!? ::: Pause::: I have the itchiest vagina..."
Anyway, a quick piece of Dane reminescent observational comedy. Why is it that whenever your at a Dane Cook show, or listening to Dane on CD, tape, or phonograph, whenever he has a particularly clever manipulation of one or two words, someone around you has to repeat those words? For example when he said, "Concernicus" at least ten people repeated it. "Chat-Chit" ten people, followed by giggles and the"He really just said that didn't he look." And here's another thing: even as I realized this, even as I made fun of these people in my mind, I did it too. Completely on accident, " Nougat-chips . / ?" Oh Dane...
Anyway, my ramblings are complete. Today I am retiring the Master Chiefs picture in exchange for a new one. One with slightly more flare, perhaps.

Edit: Is there any way to change pics in photoshop that are taller than they are wide so that they don't come out looking fat and bloated? I am such a noob.
