Outside our small safe place flies Mystery... A snake beneath the forest floor, a whisper: Melusine

It's a beautiful beginning to a nice, warm week, but it opened yesterday with the sad passing of Richard Jeni, one of my favorite comedians of all time. I never got to see him live. I had tickets to see him in March 2004 at the Potowami casino in Milwaukee, but my father was sick that week and I had to cancel. I always thought, "hey, I'm sure someday he'll be back..." but now, alas, it won't be. He will be sorely missed. I'm now going through all my old Richard Jeni videos -- he will always make me feel good! Here's a few gems, some ironic, from Richard Jeni's HBO special "A Big Steaming Pile of Me"

Richard Jeni "Dr. Kevorkian & Proctology"

Richard Jeni "PMS and Red Wine"

I'd love to post some video of his earlier specials, especially his Platypus Man skits, but couldn't find them right now...
