High Everybody! It's Me, The JerBear. I've recently restarted my comedy, um, career after a nine year hiatus. I do restaurant humor, and oddly enough got fired from my job as a bartender at the local olive garden when they heard my version of their birthday song. Now I'm hidebound and determined to make 'em regret it, hahaha.
I did NOT know that was a genre...Originally Posted by Me, The JerBear

It is now, Scammy, it is now.
So your goal in life now is to get even with the innocent people at Olive Garden? People whose only crime is clogging the arteries of the American public with their "$8.99 All You Can Eat Pasta Bowl" thing?
Also, are we gonna hear your version of their birthday song? Do we have to wait for it to show up on iTunes or your 4-CD box set as an "unreleased" track?

Welcome. Your nickname will be smiles.Hi, just wanted to say hello to all of you. I'm Henry, interested in too many things to list here…
There goes smiles again, posting a fuckin' introduction. Asshole.
Love ya smiles.
Smiles! What's up, man? It's been like 5 or 6 posts, dude, but it feels like forever. It feels like forever.
MJEH, I am not bitter at all if you can believe that. I do not seek any kind of revenge whatsoever. I was fired from a job because my artistic endeavors were deemed obscene. By law you can be fired for any reason at all, so they were well within their legal rights to do so. Just like I am well within my legal rights to tell my story onstage. I am by no means bemoaning the loss of my dream job at the Olive Garden. I just think it's rather amusing that in 2008 Darden didn't fire any of the young ladies who posed for the Playboy Girls of Olive Garden pictorial but I got fired in 2009 for giving demos of the audio cd I'm working on to friends at work. That's why 'Soup, Salad and Censorship!' appear on the apron I wear when I play my restaurant oriented songs. For years the abrupt cessation of my performing life had been eating me up. For no good reason I just stopped and I would keep telling myself that someday I would get back up there but I never could find the motivation. Attending a meeting where every line and word of a 15 minute demo were scrutinized and scorned and then being fired in the middle of a depression gave me that motivation.
I'm not expecting to set the world on fire, but I do have what I think is an interesting story to tell and I'm driven to get it out.
Hi All
I'm a new AST forum members but I've been listening to the AST family of podcasts from the early days of NNF.
I continue to be a big fan of NNF, Comedy & Everything Else, Guys With Feelings and Comedy Deathray Radio.
I'm not involved in commey or improv but I have my own podcast called Hotcakes based out of Winnipeg. (www.hotcakespodcast.com)
For Pardcast listners, I'm the twitterer who started #pardoday.
Oh, and I would be more than happy to send some of you fine folks some of my stuff if you wanted to give it a listen.
I used some of the words from their actual birthday song for the chorus so I can't sell it or they will have my ass.
Grit your teeth early though. I am at least mildly retarded when it comes to using computers.
Me, The JerBear
I am interested in hearing some restaurant themed comedy. I recently ate at a restaurant so I think I can relate.
What was the best concert you've been to?
-- Probably Sade. It was just so sexy and relaxing.
Hi, I'm Kari. I'm a fledgling comedian and writer who aids high school plays for fun. I often collaborate with my older brother whose lifelong knowledge of the 80's and geek culture has influenced me immensely. I love all comedic mediums, but I like live comedy best because it's just people and ideas. I know that sounds corny. I seldom get to go to comedy venues because I live in Alhambra, California-uninspired hometown of Kenny Loggins and Cheryl Tiegs and no one since. So I thought I'd live vicariously through all you lovely comedy fans until I straighten things out. Also, forgive my less than novice computer skills.
According to Google Maps: Alhambra to Hollywood, California = 22 minutes. Most of the comedians performing probably have longer drives.

That's okay. We're mildly retarded when it comes to using life.

I don't have a car or even a license, ...but thanks for looking it up by the way.
Hello, AST. My name is J.D. Renaud, and I am a wonderful man.
Long time lurker, and big fan of the whole operation you've got going on here. Please don't stop now just because I've showed up. Love never not funny, i love movies, and many of the other things you folks seem to fond of talking about. Been writing comedy for a few years, made a handful of videos here and there, and just started getting serious about stand up this year.
I've recently re-launched my website, affectionately dubbed The Placeholder. Its the work of myself and some other guy I know named Tim. If you go there today (wednesday september 2nd 2009), there is really not much up there right now. However, if you are reading this in the not too distant future, I'm sure there are many more amazing things up there to read and watch that I'm sure you will enjoy. Unless I die sometime between now and when you're reading this, in which case there still may not be very much up there.
I live in Winnipeg Manitoba, because the rent is cheap and all my stuff is here.
Winnipeg?
Do you know... ArchStanton?
Have you ever kissed... ArchStanton?
I think you're overestimating how big Winnipeg is, Meen.
If they're both from Winnipeg it means that they're probably related and/or married...

Strange, that makes two new Winnipeg residents who joined in August.
For the record I don't personally know ArchStanton or J.D. Renaud.
I don't even know my roommates all that well.
I'm sure ArchStanton and Gwardo are both lovely people, and its very likely I have avoided eye contact with them on the street at some point.
