It’s another Facebook Friday. Today it’s the Classic Edition.

Who’s on First

My friend Sheffield posted this classic video of Abbot and Costello’s Who’s on First Routine. When I was a kid I held a tape recorder up to the TV to record it. I listened to that recording over and over again until the tape wore out. This routine is complete genius.

Elephant Man

My friend Larry Hirschhorn, producer extraordinaire, is producing the new Broadway production of The Elephant Man starring Bradley Cooper. I really really hope Larry puts these musical numbers into the show.

Nissan Truck Saves Plane

This week a lot of people were posting this video of a Nissan truck saving a plane from a crash. Um–ok–first off, the lighting in the video is too good. Not TV news lighting. Secondly, I recognize three actors in this video. Granted other people might not know them so I’ll give them that. But thirdly, it says “Fictionalization. Do not attempt” in the lower right corner of the video!! It’s a damn fake, people. You don’t get more fake than the video actually saying it’s a fake.

The Difference between a man and women in the Shower

The video really speaks for itself. Woo woo!

James Brown Interview

My god I love this train wreck of an interview with James Brown.

Patrick Stewart and Make a Wish

The Make a Wish Foundation made it possible for 10-year old Dawn Garrigus to meet Patrick Stewart at Dragoncon 2014. Dawn spent about 15 minutes with Sir Patrick backstage before he addressed a crowd of about 2000. As she was leaving, Dawn turned around, ran back to him, and gave him this hug. What a truly remarkable moment.
