Patience is the greatest of all virtues. — Cato the Elder

My Hometown Would Knock Him Right Out 2002.10.09.23:36

I'm actually watching Comedy Central's "Insomniac with Dave Attell". I usually pass on it, but the TV remote is out of reach and I don't want to stop typing long enough to reach it, and besides "The Daily Show" is about to come on.

Basically, "Insomniac" is comedian Dave Attell trying his best to find something to do all night in whatever town he's gigging in. Tonight, it's Memphis. I've caught tail-ends of shows before (when switching on for "The Daily Show") in places like New Orleans and the like. But that's no real challenge– even I could manage to keep myself occupied all night in those places.

You want to impress me? Occupy yourself until the wee hours in any of these places:

  • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
  • Gainesville, Texas
  • Apache Junction, Arizona
  • Anywhere other than Fargo, North Dakota
I mean, anyone can get through the night in Long Beach or San Diego. Try doing it in Turlock, Dave...
