It's Contest Time, Big Cat!

I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you?

I am engaged in another horrifying battle of the wills tonight in a comedy contest at the Thirsty Lion, a fake British pub downtown at 2nd and Ankeny. No relation to the Hungry Tiger, but I hear it's close to the Horny Cheetah and the Depressive Panther bars. The contest starts at 9, and the prize for the top spot includes tickets to Carlos Mencia, which I don't want. And yet, I crave competition. Hooray!

Postscript: I did not place, although I had one of the precious few sets with some laughter in it. I would like to congratulate the judges, whose qualifications were that they all worked for Anheuser/Busch, for overlooking audience response in their tallies. All that aside, I am very pleased for the winner, the very funny Lonnie Bruhn, first runner-up, the smooth and sassy Dax Jordan, and third place Arlo Stone. The prize I am taking home is that I am never going to faux English pub the Thirsty Lion, ever again. Lonnie was overjoyed to learn that the first prize of "$500 Cash and Prizes" turned out to be no cash, all prizes.
