Tonight rocked big time! I got tix to see Jackie ‘the Joke Man’ Martling (former costar on The Howard Stern Radio Show) performing live at the Vanderbilt in Plainview, NY. The show was awesome. Jackie had me laughing non-stop the whole time…..

Now, anyone who knows Jackie the Jokeman, knows that at the end of his shows, he plays “Stump the Jokeman”. Basically, you tell him the 1st part to a 2-line joke and if he can’t get it you get a T-Shirt or equivalently lame prize…

I STUMPED THE JOKEMAN!

With my line, “What do you feed a gay horse?” I had Jackie stumped…. At first I thought that he was just leading me on, but when he finally gave up and asked me the answer I nearly got a standing ovation from the entire audience when I shouted out (flamboyantly flailing my hands in the air), “HAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!”

🙂 The Jokeman gave me the “I stumped the Jokeman” T-Shirt, the Stump the Jokeman VHS Video and his “F. Jackie” Audio-CD….

Well, I got my first official complaint that I wasn’t updating my livejournal so this post is for you Al… 😉 I would have posted sooner, but I really didn’t have anything to say… until now….

MY LEGS ARE KILLING ME! Last week, Tracey and I got bicycles..I went riding for the first time today with Chris… Only 6.5 miles (yes, I got one of those cool trip speedometer/computer thingys for my bike… Bike-Cam to come soon!) but being my first time out riding in months, it was a killer…. I’m suck a wuss right now 😉 gimme time… I just have to get out and do it more often!

Got my firewall and web cam working also.. At least sort-of… I was able to get my Video camera to send live images to the web. The next step is to set up an actual web cam to run 24/7 as I had in the past…

Also been playin’ with MAME a lot (That’s the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator)….. I have 444 games so far… Looking for more ROMs…. If you wanna trade roms/sites send me an email. My goal is to get as many games as possible…..

Okay, ICON kicked ass…. Had a lot of fun this year…. (boring details below)

Checked out the Sci-Tech panels as usual. Not as many hacker-featured panels as there usually are though….

Larped with Laire (www.laire.com). Cool group. Would love to go check out their monthly events in Jersey.. Met up with a kid who made a full Shirt/Helm (I forfget what it’s called) out of chainmail so I’m hoping that he’ll hook me up with his supplier as I like his chains better than the one’s I’ve been using.

Bought a new game…. MageKnight Dungeons….. Pretty cool game utilizing miniatures… Fairly inexpensive as well… Hopefully I’ll get more people into it and actually have people to play 🙂

Also found OGRE/G.E.V. The original… not the $50 version being sold now.

That’s it for ICON 🙂
