Golden Stand-UP

As you all may already know, I have a real knack for publicly humiliating myslef. For the most part I've been able to confine it to singing off-key karaoke in the basement of the Crow Bar (and my new-found love for Tuesday night Spare Room "saxy-oke") or playing R Kelly covers at parties, but most recently I've stepped up my game and turned to the Portland Comedy Circuit. It may have something to do with reading Steve Martin's autobiography over the summer, but I feel the need to make people laugh (and then stick catheters in them.)
One night I ran into my friend Gabe, and he told me about this bar near his house that hosted Tuesday night open mic stand-up. The bar is called Suki's, and is located under a Travelodge. He had me sold. So weeks went by and I still didn't have enough material. That's when I ran into Elissa. I explained my dilemma and she casually said something about how it's just like when Dorothy did stand up in the Golden Girls. I sped home, YouTubed that shit and the rest is history. So, here it is. If you're familiar with Dorothy's routine, you will notice I fucked up. Well I guess that's why I never made it onto Golden Girls.
