    Pauly Shore and Roddy Piper are top comedians?
    Wait, Roddy Piper?

    Oddly, I saw Piper speak once about police work (his father was an officer in the RCMP).   Very thoughtful on the subject.

    "Everybody gets pitchforks" is my husband's and my term for any overcrowded, ridiculous situation. I would love to go to the Gathering and only go to the seminars because I'm dying to see what type of scene that is. "Go see Donkey Crust? Hell no, we're going to a face-painting seminar!"

  5. From the Juggalo site FAQ:

    How do I get to the Gathering?
    1. First go to Google Maps.
    2. Click on <span>Get Directions</span>.
    3. Type, or Cut & Paste, this info: <span>IL-1 & Lamb Rd, Cave-In-Rock, IL 62919</span> into the second of the two empty boxes next to the Get Directions button.
    4. In the first empty box, type your starting address (your house address), with the street address, city, state, and zip code, seperated by commas. It should look like this: P.O. Box 620, Farmington, MI, 48332
    5. Click on the <span>Get Directions</span> button.


    Reaction:
    1.  How many people don't know how to use GoogleMaps ONCE YOU GIVE THEM THE DESTINATION ADDRESS?
    2. ANSWER: Whoever wrote that.  Because you can't get directions from a PO Box. 
    3. And learn to spell "separated".  Sheesh.

    To be fair, if you enter in a P.O. Box address it defaults to the town, so as long as the Juggalos know how to get to downtown Farmington they'll be OK.  And in MI.  (Even better is looking at the satellite view of the intersection in Cave-In-Rock; those most be some really understanding single-family-home owners there).

  8. If you've got the time, the Tom Scharpling/Paul F. Tompkins discussion of the 10th Gathering is the original and the best:  http://files.dropbox.com/u/280367/bestshow-tom_and_paul_ponder_juggalos.mp3  I think that file is about 20 minutes long.

    OMG, I had no idea the Ass Dan sketch was parodying something.  I'm not sure it's any funnier now that I know.

  10. It'd be like finding out what Fernando Lamas actually sounded/looked like. It makes no difference.
