Cheesy Bacon Potato Skins
Guess where I was Saturday morning?
Give up?
The H and I were waiting in a 3 hour line so he could get a picture and autograph from WWE wrestler Mick Foley.
Oh yes, our feet were killing us, our lower backs hurt, we were tired, hungry, and thirsty… but did we give up? No! We braved that line like the best of them. We were fans. And you know what? I’m glad I did it. I’m glad I did it for two reasons: 1) It made The H happy and that’s always good; 2) This little stunt solidifies me as a COOL wife.
So excuse me while I bask in the glow of my Awesomeness.
On the ride up there though, I realized something:
I hate Dane Cook.
I mean I really hate him.
We were listening to one of the comedy stations on XM radio and he came on. I didn’t laugh once. The guy is just not funny. He’s cute, I’ll give him that, but he’s not funny. In fact, he sucks. He sucks more than a hooker with a crack habit.
It wasn’t always hate, though. At first it started out as mere dislike. One of Dane’s comedy specials would come on TV and I would turn the channel. I’d see a poster somewhere and would just ignore it. So far, so good. It didn’t escalate until I started seeing and hearing about him everywhere! I go to the bookstore and there’s his CD by the register, the people I talk to are singing his praises, I see more and more commercials advertising his concerts, I go to the movies and what do I see? An ad for his newest tour! It’s driving me crazy. Am I the only one that sees through his “act”? Am I the only that notices just because you talk in a high pitch voice it doesn’t make you funny? Am I the only that notices just because you yell the words to make your point it doesn’t make you funny? Am I the only that would rather stick glass in my ear than hear his stand-up?
I don’t get it. How can this idiot deceive so many? Are they putting drugs in the water where he performs? Is it something subliminal? How can someone so NOT funny keep getting work? Why isn’t he blacklisted? Why hasn’t someone just ran up on stage and punched him? Seriously. He needs to be stopped.
Am I alone in this?

Girl, you are more of a dedicated wife than I am. NO WAY, would I stand in line for 3 hours to get a WWF dude’s signature. My H wants me to go to a RUSH concert… forget that (unless I’m high)!
BTW, I don’t know who Dane Cook is, and from your post, I’m glad I don’t. Although, if that photo in your “Thing of the Day” (which is soooo cool BTW, I love your thing of the day) is him. He is a hottie. He might be stupid but I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crackers… if you know what I mean!!!
Thank you…Oh my god, thank you. I hate Dane Cook. With a passion. I just really don’t understand his popularity. I’ve actually talked with one of my friends about this, and we thought we were the only two people in the world who felt that way.
I’ve actually been planning a blog post on this very subject and I rip on him every chance I get when I’m writing my sports columns (which, unfortunately, has been like once).
Random- Dedicated? LOL… I’m glad I did it, but this just means he owes me something later! I can always say, “Remember that time….?” Is that bad? Of course I think the worse thing he’ll have to do is sit through a bad movie.
Garrett- I am glad to know I am not alone in this. Just to give him ANOTHER chance, I taped and watched his HBO Special. “Vicious Circle”. Yeah… the guy is a hack!
I would never stand in line for 3 hours ..
and i cant comment about Dane Cook, dont even know the guy, lol ..
tnx for visiting my blog .. I’m currently on vacation here in the Uk but me and my family live in Spain. We just visit the Philippines once a year.
Tinka, it was well worth it. I can blackmail him later.
And be glad you don’t Dane Cook… I hear he’s the main murderer of comedy.
I’ll be stopping by your blog again! “I’m in your neighborhood now”.

I hate him too! I listened to a comedy special of his on DVD with hubby’s family…and…it wasn’t funny. Everybody else was DYING. I didn’t crack a smile. And hey, I laugh at Dumb and Dumber. lol.
Oh yeah! You added a pic! Yay I can picture you now! You have a beautiful smile. You guys are cute together. Your hubby looks like he has a good sense of humour. I can tell by his smile
Ooooh, I LOVE Mick Foley! I am glad you got to meet him, too. Not only does that make you a cool wife, but he is a LEGEND. I envy you!
Dane Cook doesn’t annoy me or anything, but the funniest thing I’ve ever seen him do was that thing at the MTV Movie Awards where he made fun of Paris, Lindsay and Britney. I think my favorite comedian is Jim Breuer or however it’s spelled.
I like him.
Lizzy- Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, I decided to come out of hiding. Heh. I wanna open up a Flickr account and upload a lot of our pics. Well, the ones where I don’t look a TOTAL mess.
And glad you support my “I Hate Dane Cook” fund!
Devilish- Yeah Mick is awesome. I think I have a soft spot for him because he doesn’t look like your typical muscle head on WWE.
One of my fave. comics is Mitch Hedburg. He’s so random and hilarious!
Big Al- Shame on you, sir… shame on you!
I think he’s supposed to be one of those “phsyical comedians” so it’s funnier if you see him acting out his jokes.
Whatever.
Dane Cook is an idiot. A rich and famous idiot, but an idiot none the less.
Jeannette- Yeah, he drives me nuts. I commented earlier that I watched his entire HBO special, “Vicious Circle”, just to make sure I really did hate him. I’ve seen some of his other bits elsewhere and of course I’ve heard him on the radio, but I thought maybe seeing it “live” would do something for me. Meh.
I agree with you absolutely… argh! He’s such a moron.
Dane’s not bad. He’s no Mitch Hedburg, but he’s not horrible. And I may agree w/ the earlier post in that you kind of have to see him act out his stuff. Its definitely a more bearable that way.
TOPolk- LOL… I dunno, maybe I’m just not into his brand of “physical” comedy.
