    If I were a comedian, I would probably be Jerry Seinfeld.

    Roseanne Barr...not Roseanne. Roseanne Barr from he 80's. Middle class, midwestern, loud, crude. Yup. That sounds about right.

    I have been to the loose meat sandwich shop that "Lanford Lunch Box" was based on.

    They built a parking deck right over the top of it, it's basically down an alley or through the parking deck to get to it.

    This tiny little lunch counter is the whole place.

    You they serve loosemeat sandwiches and pie. And that's just about it. Cash only, and get your butt out as soon as you are done. :p




    That being said, Seinfeld is one of my all time favorites. The show STILL translates to today.


    Mitch Hedberg is another.

    If I were a comedian I think I'd go old school, either Rodney Dangerfield or Buddy Hackett. I loved both of their styles.

    I miss Hedberg.

    There's not too many comedians today that do it for me. I'll listen to Raw Dog on XM/Sirius. Some make me laugh, more often women than men. So many are clones, though.

    I'd like to have been Lou Costello's straight man, Bud Abbott.
    Not sure if I could keep a straight face through a routine, but I'd have a hell of a fun time trying.

    I would probably end up being either Robin Williams or Eddie Izzard.

    Constant flow of talking, intertwining references and zany demonstrations.
    At least that's what people tell me. :p

    Somewhere between Steve Martin and Bill Murray, with a dash of Ron White thrown in for good measure. I'd rather be George Carlin...
