Change is Gonna Come
You know who's gonna love this strip? Shrubville's very own Sacki.
As you know, Sacki is my internet colleague. But sometimes we talk outside the crazy go-go world of Shrubville. In fact, just the other day he was workshopping with me some of his stand-up material for his next gig at Zanies (Vernon Hills).
Sacki: What's the deal with Bearack [sic] Obama?
CJo: Well, he's running for the Democratic nomination for President...
Sacki: He is? I thought that with his coinbelt and his constant harping about "change" that he was running for Metra-Conductor-in-Chief.
CJo: [Silence.]
Sacki: Er...Um... I thought he was running for Au-Pair-in-Chief for all his talk about "change."
CJo: [Confused Look.]
Sacki: As in "changing diapers."
CJo: [Silence.]
Sacki: Er...Um...It's like he's working at Jiffy Lube with all his talk of "change" every 2,000 miles.
CJo: [Leaves room.]
*******************************
Will the Zanies (Vernon Hills) crowd have the same sense of humor as Sacki and Scott Stantis? There is, alas, only one way to find out: Go to Zanies (Vernon Hills) this Saturday night for 'Open Mic Night' and look for Sacki. He'll be wearing a red coat that says "Valet." If you tip him right he might just mutter a joke under his breath. Bring your spare change.

Nice work, CJo.

Me love Shrubville? That's unpossible.
Anyhow, you know who's on the Alabama commemorative quarter? Helen Keller. Seriously. Helen Keller. And there's something written in braille on there, too. It's like they're telling a "Helen Keller is so dumb" joke involving her momma and football. What is the deal with that?
