If you can get by the 15-20 second commercial at the beginning you will be richly rewarded with something very special. Trust me. And . . .  have a ball. Or two. On me. Look for my balls very soon at Mom and Dad's Diner.

Happy Malarkey Monday folks! Take the 'suck' out of your Monday and laugh a bit, okay? I won't keep you long . . . Never underestimate the power of a good story. It may save your life. Or not.

This man is just too damn funny and a great way to start a Monday. Short and sweet this week folks. Be sure to stop by my fellow Malarkers:

Fred Armisen can out-Barack, Barack. I thought this was actually quite funny considering Obama is a bigger rock star than the pretentious Bono of U2 will ever be. Short clip but funny as all hell. Yes, Obama is the quintessential King of Cool. The jury is out as to whether that's actually cool or not . . . Hit me up a year from today.

Another awesome (and somewhat freaky) video posted at Raincoaster . . . YouTube just seems to find her

I began reading the new Natalie Goldberg book  'Old Friend from Far Away' a few days ago. It's a book custom-tailored for writers of memoir. So far the book is quite good (like all of her books). Page 14 has a prompt that I've decided to turn into a post. The chapter is quite short: "Die" Tell me what you will miss when you die. When I die there will be many things that I will miss. This list went on for quite a few pages but I've chosen an abbreviated version for your perusal. If I included food you'd be here for a few days. I mostly chose things from the category 'matters of the heart'. Feel free to steal this as a 'meme'. For you writers visiting, it's a wonderful exercise. Do it. Even if you don't consider yourself a writer, it's worth your time. You can look at some of the things that really make your life worthwhile. Here I go.

I will miss:

-Whispers in the dark -Pamela's eyes, voice, face and beautiful soul -hearing the phrase, "I love you, Daddy," whispered in my ear -my three beautiful girls -the sound of little footsteps coming down the stairs on Christmas morning -my sister, my twin, the other part of my very soul -Caitlin's smile -Ryan's loveable way (and awesome jumpshot) -Billy's laugh -All the people I truly love (if I've talked to you in the past year, consider yourself on this list) -a warm and gentle rain -the silent beauty of falling snow (yeah, I wrote that) -the sound of surf at the Cape -the smell of freshly cut grass in late spring -stars (especially the constellation Orion, someday possibly the Southern Cross) -my cats purring -Cuban cigars -Guinness (or any fairly decent dark beer like Porter or Stout) -Makers' Mark -writing with a nice fountain pen on some fine quality paper -the feeling of creating -entering 'the Zone'  (artists of all kinds know about this one) -music (playing and listening) -my piano -weekend phone calls to a country far, far away with two incredibly special people -memories of the Camp -Bermuda -the aroma of an apple pie baked by my grandmother from summer's long ago -Blue Cheese -Bill Hicks, Denis Leary, Sam Kinnison, George Carlin, Lewis Black and Dave Chapelle -sunsets -reading -most importantly, my blog And yes, I will dearly miss sex and exceptional breasts. I'm not a freak. Truthfully, what will you miss?

Damn, this woman is funny.

I've known for a long time that a majority of my readers are women. I don't say that in a 'oh, I'm so depressed that only women read me' kind of way but more as a reason why this post actually happened. My daughters are forever showing me videos that they think are funny. Some are great and some just suck. Period. These two videos are awesome {imho} and are living proof that I do live with multiple women (and yes, I love them all . . .  Cripes, I sound like a friggin' Sheik). This post is for you ladies that visit here. This blog wouldn't exist without your comments. Enjoy the comedy of Anjelah Johnson (yeah, that's her in the second video, too) I'm not a big comedienne guy but this girl is the shit, folks. ~Michael

This weekend Pamela and I are going to see a favorite comedian named Jim Gaffigan. {a surprise anniversary present from Pamel} Gaffigan's last tour, "Beyond the Pale" brought him SRO fame. He's currently sold out multiple performances in Boston. I found a video interview regarding his new show, "The Sexy Tour". It's a spoof but it's a good one. If you've yet to see the man, watch "Hot Pockets" or "Holidays" Phunny stuff. I know it's only Thursday but I'm pretty much gone for the weekend. Enjoy the video. Catch you guys next week.

I felt a need to post something funny tonight. Here 'ya go. ps. the post didn't seem quite complete without this:
