When I cook red meat on the grill
Its sizzle and pop you will hear
I take part in an ancient thrill
As cuts of meat over fire I do sear
Since before man painted cave walls
We have hunted meat
Answer your ancestors call
And eat what you were made to seek
Something you need to know
What was good to eat they say
A hundred thousand years ago
Is still good for you today
Is there a better taste so hot
Than a freshly cooked steak
Does your mouth water at the thought
Of a sensation so great
A thick grilled piece of meat
Just charred on the outside
Inside nice and steamy pink
It will make a grown man cry
Let me tell you what to do
Get yourself a fork and knife
And know the hot steak laid before you
Is such an ancient culinary delight

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
