If you're planning on hiring a comedian for your next corporate event or party there are a lot of things that you need to consider to ensure that the show will be a success. You can't just blindly thumb through the phone book and pick the first comedian that you see advertised, you have to do a good deal of research to ensure that the comedian that you hire will put on a show that will be funny to your particular audience. A poor performance by the entertainment of the event can make... more...

January is New Year's Resolution time. Lose weight, gain weight, quit smoking, start smoking, get rich, spend more time working and less time with their families...you name it, people resolve to do it. Yet how many people actually succeed with their resolutions? According to a statistic I just made up, 75% of people fail to keep their New Year's Resolutions. That number is even higher with weight loss resolutions. Why, you ask? Well, here are my Top 20 Excu... more...

Never could I have guessed when I was being made in Indonesia, a place where our new President of the United States used to live, would I one day be living in the same house as that same President, President Barack Obama. It has been really amazing! Take this historical day of the swearing in of the first African American President, combine it with a collection of dignitaries, celebrities and just millions of proud Americans, and moving day for the new First Family is upon us. For those... more...

Some people are inborn comedians. They usually are the clown among the crowd, making funny jokes and leaving everybody rolling in the aisles. If most of your friends or the people around you say that you are inherently funny and witty then why not make this as a profession? Yes, you can take comedy classes to bring your talent to the next level. If you take pleasure in doing jokes and making people laugh or if you know the value of comedy, you are a best candidate to take comedy classes.... more...

Fine! People around you find you funny and witty. But is this enough reason for you to pursue a career as a professional standup comedian? Well, partly yes. Being funny and at the same time witty can be a start of a fruitful career as a comedian. But it is important to note that being a comedian is a serious business. It is a no-joke venture. To do stand up comedy jokes you need to have the guts and a strong ego to do comedy in front of an audience. Not just that. You also need to be vir... more...

If you happen to read or watch good killer comedy books, theatre shows, skits, or films, then you know that there's nothing more relieving and medicating than having pure good laughs. Yes, it is given that a comedy should be hilarious, but if you think that making killer comedy stories is simple, you are wrong! Good comedy is a serious business as it entails hard work, dedication, and most of all, an excellent writing talent. The core idea of creating a real piece of killer comedy ca... more...

Today, we are all well aware that a diamond, being forever, is the perfect statement of love. From romantic gifts like a tennis bracelet to a sign of devotion like the Black Tie diamond ring, nothing quite seals the deal like a diamond. However, for you aspiring super villains, the diamond is equally irreplaceable on the path to world domination, able to aide in everything from doomsday devices to bribes, and even henchman payroll. For you, the super villain, the diamond is not just a sign of po... more...

I wonder how the ritual of giving gifts originated. It would have been a gradual thing. Perhaps it started when a caveman first gave the apple of his eye a choice piece of dinosaur haunch to win her favor. If he was successful, it would have caught on and spread like crazy. Then those who never got the really choice pieces of lizard would have tried it with whatever they did have. Pretty rocks or feathers maybe. It wouldn't be long before competition broke out for the favors of the less ugl... more...

There are a scant few celebrities who can say they have enjoyed constant fame since the mid-sixties. Even fewer can make this claim and say they have had no negative press in the 40 years they have been on television. Despite what tabloids would have you believe, there is a group of characters who have constantly appeared on television since the 1960s, never once come close to a scandal, never aged and most surprising of all, are made of felt. The Muppets are somewhat of a televis... more...

The APB goes out and multiple New Jersey SWAT teams are called in to handle a robber in Somerset County. The problem is that the suspect, a woman, about five feet tall, was made out of cardboard. Police at first claimed they had no idea what set off the alarm at the bank which the cardboard figure was attempting to rob. A Montgomery Township Police officer informed NBC Los Angeles that alarms are often set off by animals, serious weather conditions, and perhaps the occasional wayward balloon, th... more...

Fans of hit animation Family Guy will be familiar with Peter's news-time regular 'You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?' Inspired by this hilarious diatribe on pet hates, and with the festive season well and truly upon us, I felt it necessary to share details of what really grinds my gears about Christmas. Don't get me wrong, Christmas as a whole is my favourite time of year. However, there are still a number of issues that ruin the holiday season. 1. Christma... more...

If you've ever experienced both the Northern California and Southern California way of life, you understand that they are very different ways of life. In general, what's important to someone living in Northern California is something completely different from what's important to an individual in Southern California. Other than the Sacramento and San Francisco areas, much of Northern California can be pretty small town. The two ends of the state are like two very different states.<... more...

It is estimated that over 90% of Illinois residents use their seatbelts. This has been the case for the last two years. Yet, apparently 90% isn't good enough for Governor Rod R. Blagojevich. For some reason, he feels that the state needs 100% compliance with the laws requiring people to use seatbelts. He wants to use his resources to make sure that during the 2008 holiday season everyone wears a seatbelt. Many would argue this is their own decision. Why should they be required to wear a sea... more...

College is a place where students grow and learn, relationships bloom, and college stories are born. There are thousands of college stories that people tell over and over. Some of them are personal happenings on campus, some of them are told and re told through the grapevine, and others are college urban legends. College stories are passed along from student to student, and if they are really great stories, they can spread like wildfire beyond campus, and thanks to the Internet, many of those... more...

U.S. sales of organic foods and beverages increased from $1 billion in 1990 to $20 billion in 2007. People are willing to pay more for organic products because they think they're healthier. Researchers at Copenhagen University disagree. In a study that included apples, carrots, kale, peas and potatoes, the researchers found organic produce doesn't contain more nutrients than non-organic produce grown with pesticides. Of course, the study, published in the "Journal of the Science of... more...

While other companies curtail advertising spending because of the economic slowdown, Anheuser-Busch has initiated a $50 million campaign to promote its most popular brand - Bud Light. Ads featuring humorous situations tell consumers all beers aren't the same - that Bud Light has taste but won't fill them up. The new ads have the tag line "Bud Light, the difference is drinkability". This tag line replaces "Bud Light keeps it coming", which replaced "Make it a Bud Lig... more...
