Top Ten Addendum: or, Comedy Never Sleeps!

But in my case, it's in a deep coma, straitjacketed in an iron lung, buried in the concrete mixer of a cement truck in the Marianas Trench!


These are ones that didn’t “make the cut” (yes, friends…comedy is subjective J)

  

SOME OTHER REASONS I PLAN ON REMAKING THE HISTORY CHANNEL’S—THE BIBLE

 

*  Arnold Schwarzenegger playing Samson…okay, I guess; Bruce Willis portraying Gideon, now that’s a stretch…but for Mordecai—going with MEL GIBSON??   Oy vey!

 

*  Just because Sean Hayes was popular as “Jack McFarland” on Will & Grace, didn’t mean he should be cast for the Ephraimite in the “shibboleth gag” (Judges 12).  Lisping is only funny when used by conservatives!

 

*  Yes Grace Slick can sing, and yes she can play a “mean” tambourine…but she ain’t got the gravitas for Miriam.

 

*  When it (1 Samuel 9.2 ) says that King Saul was “higher than any of the people” it means in HEIGHT!!!!  He was son of Kish not Kush the cannabis grower from Benjamin.

 

*  C’mon!!!! Everyone knows that Samson used 300 gray foxes and not reds, to burn down those Philistine corn fields.  Didn’t anybody go to Sunday School?

 

*  Having one of Daniel’s “lions” be a fat guy dressed up to look like Macavity from “Cats,” just so an Andrew Lloyd Webber tune could be worked in…chintzy to say the least!

 

* I know inclusivity is all the buzz…but Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, & Shirley??
