So, I'm going to be speaking to the kids at career day at St. Francis High School in Pasadena tomorrow. 

And though I'm supposed to talk about my job as a writer, and nobody really told me to motivate anybody, I figured I'd throw go ahead and throw in a sprinkling for the kids, anyway.  You know...because I'm already going to be there anyway, and kids need motivation and all.

True story, in high school I dressed up like Matt Foley once and performed in front of the high school auditorium.  If I can find my old yearbook, I'll try to scan in the photo of me in my Farely get up.  Looking like Chris Farley was one of the few advantages to having a "husky" build growing up. 

I miss Chris Farley.

Well, since nobody feels like commenting, I'm just gonna go ahead and say that I did a mean Chris Farley imitation.

That is all.

i was just trying to think of something witty to say. Some days, that's harder than others. Chris Farley was a genius, man.

How did your career day go?
I love Chris Farley! I remember the moment I heard on the car radio that he died. I was so bummed. He is definitely missed.
David Spade (another favorite comedian of mine) looks so young in that clip!

You do all the inspiring anyone would ever need right here on benjaminesch.com.

If you can't get inspired by Nic Cage vids, you're uninspirable.

So I hope your presentation consisted of handing out scraps of paper with your web address written on them.

why do all candy bar names also sound like they could be the titles to really dirty pornographic films?

Snickers works as a verb.

It's what I hear right right before the act.

I hate when a typo ruins a perfectly good joke.

That's a good SNL, although my favorite is still the one where Alec Baldwin plays Pete Schweddy... I rewatched it this morning, and laughed and laughed.
