a.l.b.b.

Get back, get back, they don’t know me like that, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers
Hit that but good
The US has been hit eight times by hurricanes. We have been hammered so many times they’re going to name the next hurricane Paris Hilton.
Not brain surgery
Donald Trump was paid a million and a half dollars to deliver a speech on how to get rich. Lesson #1, don’t pay a million and a half dollars to a guy with a ferret pelt on his head.
Uh, Sir, that would make you the, oh forget it
Florida governor Jeb Bush has advised residents to evacuate hurricane Wilma, not ride it out; Jeb is often described as the smart one of the Bush brothers; upon hearing that, President Bush said; “Well, if he’s the smart one than what am I? I don’t get it.”
Not a shock
Minnesota Vikings fans are outraged at charges that, on their infamous drunken cruise, the members of the Vikings received public oral sex on their, well, Viking members. Why are the fans upset? It’s not like it’s the first time this year the Vikings have been blown away.  
Ewww
Minnesota Vikings fans are outraged at charges that, on their infamous drunken cruise, the members of the Vikings received public oral sex on their, well, Viking members. In their defense, the Vikings probably just wanted to give somebody else a chance to choke.
Not good
The 3 and 4 San Diego Chargers have lost their games by an average of less than three points. The Chargers are being called the best 3 and 4 team in NFL history, which is like being described as the best dancer in the Al Gore family.
Again, not good
The 3 and 4 San Diego Chargers have lost their games by an average of less than three points. The Chargers are being called the best 3 and 4 team in NFL history, which is like being described as the best ABBA tribute band.
Oh, now they’re get all testy
Major League Baseball is upset over the latest “Got Milk?” ads that poke fun at the performance enhancing drug scandal. They get all bent out of shape over a milk commercial but major league baseball was fine when Jose Conseco was so jacked up on steroids angry villagers chased him down the street with pitch forks and torches.

It got to be all like that, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

Can’t they all just get along?
Paris Hilton got rid of her little dog Tinkerbell; man, first Nicole Richey, now Tinkerbell, Paris can’t get along with any of her lap dogs.

Not clear on the concept
Supreme Court nominee John Roberts received the highest rating from the American Bar Association; it was awkward, President Bush said that he applauds the American Bar Association, even though he doesn’t drink, Bush still thinks bartenders are good judges of character.

Look at the bright side
Madonna was released from the hospital after suffering numerous fractures from a riding fall. This has to be one of the worst rides Madonna has had since Jose Conseco and Dennis Rodman, on the bright side, the horse didn’t give her a sexually transmitted disease.

Not since then
P. Diddy announced he is just going by Diddy. Diddy is now the most famous celebrity to announce he is dropping the P since June Alyson’s commercials for Depends.

Tough guy
Gladiator is out on DVD and it has many features and added footage: You can see Russell Crowe fight off dozens of muscular gladiators, wrestle a wild tiger, and hit a surly concierge with a phone from twenty feet.

Some nerve
The Kansas City Royals have not won during the entire month of August. They took the entire month off. Who do these guys think they are, George W. Bush?

Sure sign

In Russia, because of a grain shortage, they are feeding confiscated marijuana to cows. How can you tell if a cow is stoned? Instead of Moo, it says Duuude.

In Russia, because of a grain shortage, they are feeding marijuana to cows. What’s that Real California Cheese commercial say? Great cheese comes from happy cows? Look for some spectacular cheese from Russia.

In Russia, because of a grain shortage, they are feeding marijuana to cows. I think it’s affecting the milk, sales of Count Chocula cereal in Russia have skyrocketed.

Turf war
Snoop Doggy Dog sponsors and coaches a youth football team; They are a good team except when they play on Astroturf. Snoop’s team does better on grass.

What’s not to like?
In Sports Illustrated, writer Austin Murphy described a very pleasant mountain bike ride with President Bush on his ranch; of course it’s pleasant, you just sit in the shade and wait for the ambulance to pick up the President after he falls.

We straight ballin’ and play callin’ now, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

How hot is it?
It is so hot in New York Russell Crowe threw a phone at a hotel worker just to feel the breeze.

It’s so hot in New York fans are going to Yankee games just to feel the breeze the Yankees create when they suck.

It is so hot in New York, tourists in Times Square are asking for directions just for the breeze they get when the New Yorkers take a swing at them.

Well, duh

A study in London says a woman’s ability to have an orgasm is at least partly determined by her genes. Well, duh. If a woman’s genes are too tight and she can’t get them off she can’t have an orgasm. Everybody knows that.

Or their camel
Al-Jazeera, the Arab network, refuses to show a commercial for PETA because it shows cruelty to animals. They’re happy to show beheadings and mutilated bodies, but don’t touch their goat.

Something like that
President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair held a joint news conference. Hearing them together is like hearing a Shakespeare soliloquy along with a NASCAR interview.

The real dummy
John Kerry’s transcripts were released and his grades were slightly lower then President Bush’s Yale grades. How’d you like to find out you were dumber than Bush? That’s like losing a beauty contest to Camilla Parker Bowles.

John Kerry’s college transcripts were released and he got four D’s his freshman year. That’s more D’s then Dolly Parton’s cup size.






Leg it out
The New York Dailey News reports that a leg with a white sneaker on it, dropped from the sky and landed in a Long Island backyard. The good news? It didn’t land in anyone’s chili.

Can you imagine standing there holding a beer at a backyard barbeque party and a severed leg drops on the lawn? What do you say? “It looks like somebody is hopping mad.”

“Talk about getting a leg up.” “This party is really kicking.” “That guy might try to sue, but legally, that guy doesn’t have a leg to stand on.”


Tricked out
An 80-year-old woman in New Jersey was arrested for prostitution. She had all the granny hooker gear. Her spinning disco mirror ball above her bed was hooked up to her clapper.

Sex job poll
A poll of 5,000 revealed what people thought were the top ten sexiest jobs. One of the top ten jobs? Teacher. Well, sure, Teachers are having the most sex but it’s all with their students.

Why I don’t work on Madison Avenue
The big trend in pharmaceutical ads is cartoon characters as in the Lamisil toe fungus characters. I can’t wait until this catches on with erectile dysfunction drugs: Introducing Viagra Vinny: Viagra Vinny is a good man and you just can’t keep a good man down.

Problem solved
Paris Hilton is marrying shipping heir, Paris Letsis. This is a brilliant solution to solve each one’s chronic problems of yelling out their own name during sex.

We all finer than a diner in Carolina up in this hizzouse, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

Wax on, Paris off

In the movie “House of Wax” Paris Hilton’s character gets murdered with a spike through her head. Initially Nicole Richey fought to play the role of the spike.

In the movie “House of Wax” Paris Hilton’s character gets murdered with a spike right through her head. Now that’s what I call hot.

In real life a spike in her head wouldn’t kill Paris Hilton. To kill Paris Hilton you’d have to take her credit cards away.

He was seen later in a hotel room smoking crack with Marion Berry
Hard core outspoken anti-gay Spokane mayor James West was caught trying to lure men in a gay chat room. It would seem West’s motto is: Do what I say, not who I do.

When confronted, James was so embarrassed he was downright Magenta-faced.

West tried to cover for himself saying; “I personally resolve to find and get rid of every gay man even if I have to do it one sexy stud muffin at a time.”

Giambi gambit
In Oakland a fan tried to throw a beer at Jason Giambi. But, like Giambi, the fan couldn’t hit anything either.

Giambi was actually relieved when the fan threw a beer at him. Finally he hit something.

Janet Jacksister

Janet Jackson turned 39 this week. She’s getting up there. Now the only time Janet flashes her breast is to cool off during a hot flash.


Janet is getting up there. I can remember when she was just known as Michael Jackson’s younger sister. No Michael is known as Janet’s older sister.

Janet is getting up there. Remember those Super Bowl nipple rings? Now they double as belt jewelry.


Trouble in paradise
British tabloids say Camilla Parker Bowles has barred Prince Charles from the bedroom. That or Prince Charles had to put a bar in the bedroom. It’s one of those.

British tabloids say Camilla Parker Bowles has barred Prince Charles from the bedroom. Or as Prince Charles calls his being barred from Camilla’s bedroom: My Early Father’s Day present.

Or something like that

Saddam Hussein is writing his memoirs in prison. I think the book’s called; “Murderous Dictatorship for Dummies.”

Ewwww
The Pro Tennis tour is going to start using blue tennis courts instead of green. This is different then when Anna Kournakova used to play and guys would have to play with blue balls.

If you don’t know, Cinco De Mayo is the holiday where Mexico, I believe, celebrates the famous sinking of the French ship, Mayonnaise, hence, Cinco de Mayo.

Oh, yeah, they gonna get up on it now para la Sinko of De Mayonnaise, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

We’ve seen this, haven’t we?
Movie goers have reportedly been cheering wildly when Paris Hilton’s character in “House of Wax” gets killed. I don’t know why, you’d think they’d be used to seeing Paris getting nailed.

Hola, Slatternas y Nuggetios, Happy Cinco De Mayo
If you don’t know, Cinco De Mayo is Spanish for; “Who are all these Minutemen at the border?”Actually, Cinco De Mayo in Spanish means; “Yankees Suck in May.”

Now he’s a fighter, not a lover
Bill Clinton announced he is going to fight obesity. Apparently Clinton has decided he’d rather fight obesity than date it.

Or Yanker
Paris Hilton’s publicist claims Paris makes $200,000 a party appearance. Paris makes so much money for doing absolutely nothing that today she was named an honorary New York Yankee.

Better known as
Scott Savol was kicked off “American Idol.” But don’t worry, Scott got a nice consolation prize, or as the “American Idol” consolation prize is otherwise known: Paula Abdul.

That explains it
The Government says it has lost $100 million dollars in Iraq. Apparently the U.S. - Iraqi finances are being run by Michael Jackson.

Why? Why so skeptical?
A poll reveals that most people think that the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes romance is a publicity stunt. Now why would anyone think that? She’s an admitted virgin and he has denied being gay more than Mike Piazza and Ryan Seacrest combined. Seems like a normal couple to me.

I, uh, I did not know that
Did you hear about that guy who got a ticket on the freeway in Los Angeles? Apparently it’s illegal to use the body of your murdered shooting victim to drive in the car pool lane.

There have been twelve shootings on Southern California freeways. 405 isn’t just a freeway, it’s the millimeter of the bullets used on it.

Face of mass destruction
The not guilty verdict was tossed out in the trial of Abu Ghraib prison abuser guard Lynndie England. They say they didn’t find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? How about that mug on Lynndie England? That face is one mass weapon of destruction right there.

Either or
George Lucas has described the upcoming “Star Wars III” as a “Titanic” in space. That either means it’s either a romance/disaster movie or it features an annoying song by Celine Deon.

What is in that Guinness?
Colin Farrell is unbelievable. Apparently a 70-year-old British actress, Dame Eileen Atkins, claims Farrell hit on her. Colin claims Dame Atkins didn’t understand he meant a diet when he said he wanted get on Atkins.

This isn’t the first time Farrell has hit on a 70-year-old woman. In fact, Colin is the only single guy who has one of those super glide stair lift chairs installed in his bachelor pad.

This officially moves Colin Farrell ahead of Bill O’Reilly and Pat O’Brien in the “Horniest Irishman in the world” contest.

Next year we’ll get 6/6/06
Did you know that today is 5/5/05? Today we have more fives than at a Michael Jackson sleep-over.

The shot not heard around the world
Michael Bolton is out on tour which has prompted comments of; “Oh, I can’t wait to see him in concert” from practically nobody.

Not getting any taller
The New England Patriots have signed 43-year-old diminutive quarterback Doug Flutie. You know, people shrink as they get older. They better hurry up and use Flutie before he resembles a helmet resting on top of a pair of cleats.

Since you asked:
OK, fine, so I wasn’t named Pope, and not one team in the NFL drafted me, and no, I am nowhere to be found in “People” magazine’s top fifty most beautiful issue. So what? As a comedy writer, I am huge, huge, I say, in Paducah and Saskatoon. Not to mention Boise.

What am I doing for Cinco de Mayo – which, if you don’t know, is Spanish for “The Mayo is in the sink”? Maggies, my Slats and Nuggies. Many Margaritas (right-thinking Mags are on the rocks, no salt) with my buddies Kevin “Juan” Perron and Bruce Miller at Cabos, a fairly feisty and festive local Mexican joint (pronounced: Jernt) Great pollo asada quesadillas is what I’m talkin’ about.Come on bye and my buddy "Juan" Perron will buy you a Maggie.

Tell me we did not just go there, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

Born to Shuffle
Bruce Springsteen has a new album out. You can tell Bruce is getting older. His concerts end early so he can make it to the Dennys early bird special.

Bruce is getting older. His tour bus turn signal is always blinking on.

Bruce is getting up there. Did you know his song “Born in The USA” was originally titled: “Born In the Continental Congress”?

Good luck, Lady
The prosecution in the Michael Jackson trial may have Michael’s ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, testify about Michael’s sexuality. They cannot, however, question their two children: Turkey and Baster.

His ex-wife is going to testify about Michael Jackson’s sexuality? Why not have her testify about life on Pluto because she’s never seen that either.

Why? Why so mean, I love the Stones
The Rolling Stones are on tour. You can tell the Stones are getting old. Now when their concert goers flick a lighter it’s to get rid of that old man smell.

Speaking of Queens
Elton John is going to marry his long time life partner. He figures if Prince Charles can marry a guy, he can too.

Not clear on the concept
President Bush had an embarrassing moment at a breakfast restaurant. He looked at the menu and said; “Wow, he’s only been Pope Benedict for a week and already they named eggs after him.”

That explains it
According to the NAACP, the death penalty is at an all time low; experts feel there are two factors for this: A, exonerations of those sentenced due to DNA evidence and, B, the fact that George W. Bush is no longer a governor.

The rats are abandoning
Another lawyer, Brian Oxman, left the Michael Jackson defense team; lawyers are leaving Jackson? Michael must be broke. If paid enough, lawyers would have stayed on the Titanic and claimed it was just getting humid.

Pink is the new pink
Retailers say many more men are wearing pink this year. It’s true, I can name three famous Englishmen who are wearing pink: Elton John, Boy George and Camilla Parker Bowles.

That’s a surprise
Kobe Bryant paid $50,000 to renew his marriage vows with his wife Vanessa. Afterwards Kobe said their marriage was great, they’ve never been happier and but then he traded Vanessa to the Miami Heat.

The Los Angeles Lakers are trying to get Phil Jackson back as a coach. It won’t be easy, Kobe Bryant tears through coaches like Michael Jackson tears through a pair of Garanimals.


Good job, George
President Bush met with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. You can tell Bush is working hard to get oil prices down, during dinner Bush didn’t make one turban/tablecloth joke.

Don’t bend over without it
Mastercard has a Clay Aiken Mastercard. Unfortunately the Clay Aiken card is only accepted at Ikea, Pier One, the Pottery Barn and every single gay bar in the world.

Murphy’s Law
The San Diego Mayor, Dick Murphy, resigned from office because he wasn’t doing a good job. Upon hearing this, our entire Congress asked; “You can do that?”

If everybody quit just because they weren’t good at their job there wouldn’t be any more New York Mets games.

Murphy can’t resign because he’s bad at his job, that’s un-American; every McDonalds in the world would be empty.

What did they expect? The guy’s named after Murphy’s law.

P.C. at P.E.
A lot of schools have banned dodge ball from P.E. Forget that, you know what kids game they need to ban? Musical chairs. Every kid but one is a loser. Why not just play “Mommy and Daddy Lost You In a Crowd And You’ll Never, Ever, See Them Again” and put them in therapy for life?
Give us this day or Daly’s bread
John Daly finished second at the Houston Open after losing a playoff to Vijay Singh. This was good finish for Daly and a bad day for believers in the “Golfers Are Athletes” argument.

Daly is fifty pounds overweight, chain smokes, swigs sugary soda pop during his rounds.
Daly has to be the only guy whose four rounds of golf total score is lower than his cholesterol.

This just in:
Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles honeymoon went without a hitch. That’s what they said, without a hitch. I guess they tied Camilla to a tree instead.

The latest trend is women who fake cell phone calls to avoid unwanted advances from men. And get this: the women who talk dirty to Bill O’Reilly and Pat O’Brien on their cell phones? Turns out they were faking their phone sex orgasms.



We best detect it, direct it, inspect it and check it before we wreck it up in here Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers


No Shock Here
Paris Hilton has designed a line of jewelry for dogs. Paris said people admire her dog, Tinkerbell’s, style so it shouldn’t come as a shock that Paris is a big fan of doggie style.

Mais oui get down?
In France, two skiers were left dangling overnight on a frozen mountain when the ski staff turned off their chairlift and left them. The worst part? When they found them the next morning the resort charged them for that day’s ski pass.

Although tired, suffering from severe hypothermia and possible frostbite the two Parisians said, all things considered, it was still better than going to Euro Disney.

And you thought you got treated rudely in France?

The French ski staff said they were horribly embarrassed and ashamed. They thought the two skiers they abandoned on the lifts were Americans.

The two Parisians were left out in the windy mountain air overnight. And the amazing thing is that, the next day, they still stunk.

These sausage jokes are going to hurt you more than they hurt me, and they really hurt me

(I wasn’t kidding)
A driver in Britain suffered a broken nose after a frozen sausage was thrown through an open window of his car. The victim said it hurt, but that it was his pride that was knocked worst.

(OK, can someone make these stop, please?)
His insurance won’t cover the sausage injury and the police have no clues. Truly, in a situation like this, everybody loses, there simply are no wieners.

(There is simply no excuse for this)
The man said, to try and catch the driver that threw the sausages, he mustard all of his courage but his car couldn’t ketchup.

(Does the word shame ring any bells, Lex?)
The police suspect the frozen sausages were thrown by two known obnoxious, spoiled local youths. Apparently they are a couple of real Brats.

(That is enough)
At least he wasn’t hit with a Ballpark Frank, because, as you know, you can throw a frank furter.

Wrong kind of cheating
A Pennsylvania principal was charged with helping his students cheat on a test to improve their scores. That’s horrible. Teachers and administrators should not interfere with students unless, of course, they’re having sex with them.

He’ll be back
Maria Shriver revealed that Arnold Schwarzenegger burns their kids clothes if they leave them lying around. Arnold runs around frantically picking things up off the floor and tosses them right in the fire. Tragically, this led to grief for their pet cat Buffy.

Why is that?
In Chicago, hundreds are flocking to an image of the Virgin Mary under a highway underpass. Have you noticed these religious images always pop up on lower profile items, like tortillas, grilled cheese sandwiches and underpasses? You never hear; “It’s a miracle, an image of the Virgin Mary popped up on Donald Trump’s comb-over.”


The Eagles, sports and really, really bad jokes all combined. Is this a great country or what?
At an Eagles concert in Los Angeles, singer/guitarist Joe Walsh actually changed the lyrics on “Life’s Been Good” to:

I have a limo
Ride in the back
I watch the Lakers
They stink without Shaq

Why stop there? Look for the Eagles next Laker song;

Welcome to the Hotel California
You can have room service here
As long as Kobe Bryant ain’t near


And look for the rest of the basketball updated Eagles songs:

“Life in the Pass Lane”, “Wasted Time-Out” “Peaceful Easy Stealing” “Doolin Dunkin” “Seven Bridges Road Trip” and “The Long Gun”

Attention all Gay Insurance brokers
Connecticut has passed gay marriages. So, as far as gay couples are concerned, they can now put the connect in Connecticut.

Nowhere close
The world is getting to know Pope Benedict. In a related story, I am still nowhere close to making a halfway decent Pope Benedict/Eggs Benedict joke connection.

I’m not positive on this one
The Taliban has launched a pirate radio station in Afghanistan. I think it’s called Air “Death to” America.

Since you asked:

Since you asked:

Well the talking dog, the Wrigger Digger, almost did it. He almost did himself in.

Wrigley was acting funny – and believe me, for the Big Wrig, that is saying something. He wasn’t his old self. He didn’t want to pester Kasey for one of the scariest things. Then he would yelp and I mean but loud for no reason.

Yesterday early morning he yelped so much I grabbed him and took him to the emergency room at the Helen Woodward Animal Center. After a quick once over, they said he wasn’t critical and to just take him to his Vet.

Eight hours, ten X-rays, five blood tests and $400 later, guess what was wrong? Wrigley had eaten himself to the hilt. The day before he got into the house for a long time without being discovered after the back French doors blew open. He must have gotten into his food because, on the X-Rays, this dog was stuffed from his back teeth to his tail with food, huge gas bubbles and you-know-what. He was a walking white furry loaded Poop cannon all set to explode. If they had found him in Iraq he would have qualified as a weapon of mass destruction.

He’s back to his old self today, and, as much as I find it hard to believe I am admitting it, that is good.

Meanwhile, poor Kasey just sits there with a veritable doggy halo over her little worried head.
