They laughed at Louie Armstrong when he said he was going to the moon, and now he's laughing at them from up there.

Ricky Henderson's in the HOF. Awesome.

Jimmie Johnson won a race. Horay.

Lance Armstrong did not. Whopee.

The Phillies did not trade for Halladay. God I can't even fake it anymore, sports just suck right now.


The good news is this dead time means we are that much closer to hockey season.

Plus, football training camp starts this week so hopefully The Law will be pouring some E85 premium octane knowledge down your throats in the near future with that shit.

Anyway, since there isn't a lot of stuff going on, we're going to throw some non-sports action at you in order to help you broaden your own realm of expertise.

First, the comedy world.

If you don't know about Jack Benny shame on you. Check out this clip with him and Mel Blanc, yes the Mel Blanc that voiced Bugs Bunny.

Warning: if you don't like good old fashioned family racism you may not like this video.




Jack Benny was one of the best comedians to come at a time when there were a lot of them. If you want to know more about him just youtube hime, I promise you it will be time well spent.

He was famous for being stingy, or at least his persona was. As one admirer put it, "his most famous joke took 20 years to write, and the punchline was silence"

A mugger asks Benny for a light then, brandishing a gun declares "Your money or your life" Pause. Laughter starts building, the pause gets longer. Finally, the mugger repeats the threat and Benny replies "I'm thinking, I'm thinking"


Second, the hip-hop world. For those of you that don't know Missy Elliot very well. She makes terrible rap songs that have sick beats and some of the best music videos bar none. Check this one out.



Sidenote Step Up 2: The Streets is an average movie but with some bad-ass dance scenes and the main girl is hot and sexy as hell.


Finally, if you haven't been watching Better Off Ted, shame on you for six weeks. Everyone on the show is hilarious. Don't believe me? I bet you that after watching this clip you won't be able to control yourself from heading straight to Hulu and catching up on past episodes.

That's all for now. Make sure you tune into the show tonight Monday July 27 from 6-9pm, www.wdsr.org.
