Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop,
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.

Ummm… when do we sing songs about our babies falling out of a tree? What’s the next verse?

As their face slams
On the hard ground
Their heads splits open
Brains and all

Hey… I didn’t make it up (i don’t even think it rhymes right).

Mother Goose is friggin’ twisted.

… What You Should Fear In Them

… then you’re forced to give it half your salary.

Okay… this comedy thing is pissing me off. So… I went to check on mama (back surgery) and on my way I see my neighbors, who are (what I consider) good friends (though they never call… but anyway.. yeah I’m lookin’ at you!)

Anyway… he’s taking out the trash.

I run over, say, “Hey ‘neighbor’! Mind if I put something out for your big item?”

Being a nice guy, he says, “Sure! Knock yourself out.”

So I said, “Hey man! Thanks!” and I started unzipping my fly.

Out of context… not that funny… but… ooooohhhh… ohhhhhh… that’s right… “I guess you had to be there.”

So therefore, it is possible, that there was a dead baby joke (or something) and people were rolling!

But…… I guess you had to be there.

I’m watching “Last Comic Standing” and two folks tossed out baby jokes.

One girl says, “I have no maternal instinct. When I hear a baby crying the first thing I think is ‘oh my god kill it’!”

Another guy says, “So this baby is crying on a plane… because I was punching it.”

BOTH TIMES… Friggin’ Sopranos boy tosses em. Apparently… baby jokes aren’t funny.

Um… exactly when… in comedy… WAS ANYTHING OFF LIMITS?!?!

I didn’t think the jokes were particularly funny… but I’m SURE there is a killing a baby joke out there that would leave me in stitches. As matter of fact, if anyone could do it, my friend Mike could! That’s right Mikie! You know who you are (I left his last name out in case for some crazy reason a future employer Google’s him) So you’re safe Mike G3mm1ll

It’s all about context.

As I try to think of one right now… I can see how it could be hard.

BUT THAT’S NOT THE POINT! The point is… IT’S COMEDY!

We can poke fun at all kinds of handicaps, disabilities, horrible situations that happen all over the world (check out Stick Death), murder, rape, incest… whatever… WHY ARE BABIES SO SPECIAL?

You may be a talent scout daddio… and know more about comedy than I ever will… but my two cents… NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS!

Remember the hayday of Geocities and Fortunecity? The, create a website and we’ll host it for free if you don’t mind us billboarding your website with ads?

It began small. Just one banner ad. Now, it’s turned into this ridiculous ad infested wasteland.

Why do I tell you this?

Because I found a website I spent a significant amount of time on in college that I used to experiment with JavaScript and Flash. It was called, “Ghosts Etc.” and was focused on gathering information regarding the paranormal.

It was a nice thought. But, I let it go and found it again today for the first time.

There are a ton of ads, the navigation is hard to find (you have to look on the far right) for the “Navigation >>” link which then brings up the “real” nav on the left frame (remember when frames were cool?)

So, for your amusement, I present Ghosts Etc.

For extra credit, who is the artist who’s song was converted to midi and plays on this site? (this sentence was ridiculously hard to write)

For extra extra credit, can you name the song?
