I copied this from the Book of Lists for a friend a long time ago.
This is the story of the third most indestructible person of all time Michael Malloy. The first is obviously Keith Richards although with the recent Rodney King shooting he seems like a good choice too.
I finally got an email address for Steven Banks so I could tell him how much I loved his Showtime special Home Entertainment Center
He responded right away.
Brad,
Thank you very much for your kind email.
Yes, I would love for SHOWTIME to release the show on DVD - I have quite a bit of cool extra footage, video of the first time I did the show, its long evolution, etc.
There’s interest in doing the show in New York, so who knows …. ? Maybe Showtime will wise up.
Thanks again,
Steven
This is from Bob Zmuda’s book about Andy Kaufman (copywrite violation)it is a little profane and very out there. Mr. X turned out to be Norman Wexler, who wrote the screenplay for Saturday Night Fever. It is perhaps the funniest and oddest thing I’ve ever read - enjoy!
I was actually published in this book. They collected people’s attempts to do a Bill Hicks’ routine if he were alive today. These were the ones I submitted and had published.
I was actually a very good High School debater. My partner and I qualified for the national tournament and won the Ohio State tournament as a junior - I proceeded to embarrass the entire community when I acted like an ass on stage when we won - the next year they actually had to warn people to behave because of me. Ok, yeah I’m a little proud of that.
As a senior, I was a little burned out on the whole thing and screwed around a lot. You had to write your name on the blackboard before each round and I often went by the name Oedipus Laidman or sometimes Tex Laidman. I have some good stories that I’ll have to compile later, but check out this video about how inane college debate is. They just spew out non-sensicle words as fast as they can. It’s a complete farce and a waste of a really good activity.
