Letterman had some awesome sketches with Rupert Gee. The ones where he would instruct Rupert through an earpiece were hilarious.

Fact: I bought an outlandishly large NYC mug from Mujibur and Sirajul’s in 2001. Mujibur stared at me and I tried not to look obvious about trying to catch a glimpse of him.

Interesting - so this is why they stopped doing those particular sketches with Rupert (according to Wikipedia):
".... This resulted in Jee performing humorous and unusual antics while amusing, confusing, and in some cases irritating, various victims. The segment was ceased after an unaired incident in which Letterman would only explain that a man had pulled a knife on Jee."

The first time I went to Hello Deli, I bought a Paul Shaffer from Rupert at the Hello Deli once. I remember 53rd Street was completely packed with paparazzi as they waited for Nicole Kidman to arrive. This was one of her first appearances after her divorce from Tom Cruise was finalized. This was also before they put up barricades for the media to stand behind. It was a total zoo. This was also about a month before 9/11.

The second time I went to Hello Deli, I bought a snapple from Rupert's wife. 53rd Street was much more tame as the guests were Michael Keaton and Lily Allen.

Whatever happened to Tony the cue card boy? There was some sort of kerfuffle with Bill Sheft and then he just disappeared.

Stayin' Alive and Another One Bites The Dust both have the perfect timing to perform CPR chest compressions. Plus, the titles make it easy to remember in those circumstances.

Whether the patient survives or dies depends on which song the responder is singing to stay in time. You decide which one is which.

Spotify has an entire playlist of songs which follow the same tempo, here's my shortlist:

The black crowes - hard to handle
Lynyrd Skynyrd - sweet home Alabama
Pink Floyd - another brick in the wall
Modest Mouse - float on

They have a hippo problem in Columbia. When Pablo Escobar was killed the government reclaimed his massive estate which included an exotic wildlife zoo. They decommissioned the zoo and shipped most of the animals to other zoos all around the world. Except for the four hippos. They're too big and scary. Fortunately they are extremely well suited to the climate and environs of Columbia. They love it there. They've since flourished, eating all year round, no dry season, mating like giant, ferocious bunnies. They now number over 50. So yeah. Go hippos.

Colombia could use some non-drug-centric problems for a change.

"We are still the World's largest exporter of Cocaine!"

- 'Yes, yes, thats all well and good but what about the Hippos! We have a serious Hippo crisis!'

"Okay. Okay. What if....bear with me here, what if we feed the Cocaine to the Hippos?"

- 'I dont think thats going to make things better....'

As if hippos aren't scary enough. Now they are inbred and with those nostrils, they are probably doing Hollywoods all day long.

Disappointed that Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart was not mentioned.

There are more planets than grains of sand on earth.

There are 100 billion planets just in our galaxy - the milky way
There are 100 billion galaxies.

Statistically the possibility of life on other planets is extremely high.

During prohibition booze was not the only thing that was banned. Pinball machines were seen as sleazy devices of penny thievery pushed on innocent people by gangster and encouraged gambling.


Because of this pinball machines were often seized and destroyed.


Long after Prohibition had been repealed Pinball machines were still on the prohibited list in New York until 1976
