day 74: "i am thankful for.......BELLY LAUGHS!"

last night, my hubby and i saw the stand up comedian jeff dunham.  he started off the show displaying some of his childhood photos from the seventies. hilarious!  he then introduced his dolls, one by one..... it was a great show, with a lot of laughs!  oh, and btw....please DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN!!!  it's rated R!

first...... 'achmed' ("when dunham introduced this boggle-eyed skeleton, he set the world on fire... actually, he set himself on fire, then he accidentally blew himself up, and within no time he became the world’s only beloved dead terrorist")

then.....(my favorite ;))  'bubba j' ("a good ol’ boy, NASCAR loving, beer guzzling white trash product from the famous ‘tornado alley’ of the south, bubba j is currently between jobs, and if all goes well, he’ll stay that way") 

and more..... 'peanut' ("he’s high on life… or maybe it’s starbucks. self-described as a ‘comic genius’, peanut is at the very least an endearing and loveable screwball. he’s whacky and unrelenting, whimsical and manic, frenzied and fast, and he prides himself on stealing every show")

with 'peanut'...... 'jose jalapeno' ("josé jalapeño on a stick came to the united states by stick. josé knew that hope lay just beyond the u.s.-mexico border and so he began to hop north. that's right... he was hopping for hope. josé snuck into the u.s. only to find out his parents were born in los angeles but gave birth to him while vacationing in mexico. he was totally legal. josé is a calming force among the suitcase gang... maybe because he's always tired. josé jalapeño on a stick... is a talking jalapeño... ON A STEEK!"

and some more.....  'little jeff' ("after watching him perform for many years, peanut decided he could be a better ventriloquist than jeff dunham. peanut wanted his first ventriloquist dummy to look really ugly so he fashioned it after the goofiest looking guy he knew: jeff dunham. and so was born ‘little ugly jeff.’ little jeff is one obnoxious little jerk… thanks to peanut. in fact, little jeff is the opposite of the real jeff… small, mean and funny. by the way, peanut also wrote this bio. Nnnnnyeowww!"

last but never least, we were introduced to the infamous 'walter'.....

'walter'  ("the old curmudgeon who says whatever we’re afraid to say because he just doesn’t care anymore. whether it’s a top ranking corporate executive, a statesman or a hollywood celebrity, walter has told them all to “shut the hell up!”, and they all keep coming back for more.")

here is a video jeff filmed while on stage last night....can you see us??  we were sitting in the 17th row back, on the floor, in the middle.. ;)

......so, what are you especially thankful for today?!
