For you readers out-of-state or unfamiliar with "Comedy Death Ray," it is LA's biggest night for "alternative comedy." Past performers have included folks like Bob Odenkirk, Louis CK, and David Cross. I've been going to it since I came to Los Angeles last August. And it's great.
Anyway, every week, "Comedy Death Ray" has a new host and fortunately for us, Neil and I were asked to do it. As you can guess, we're very excited. Neil and I have created what I consider a "great show." There will be sketches and videos and songs and all sorts of other fun things. Anyway, it'd be great for you to come out and catch it. I think you'll enjoy it.
And who knows? You may enjoy this as well...

I posted a new bio in the "about" section of paulrust.com. Check it out, you. You may find something out that you never knew about your friend Paul.
While you're there, look at my "upcoming shows" list on the homepage. If you live in Los Angeles, come and watch. If you live outside of Los Angeles, you have no excuse to NOT come and watch. Thousands of miles, be damned.

Hey, y'all! Here's some pictures of my brother Petey Rust's musical performance at last Sunday's Pretty Okay Ho-Hum Spectacular on Ice.
(pictures courtesy of Meredith Jenks)
Petey Rust would like to thank Michael Cassady who graciously accompanied him on the piano.
Later, I asked Petey how the performance went. His response? Eating a big green apple and falling asleep on my futon. It was 7:30pm.
I guess he was pretty tired.

Rid yourselves of basic cable, dudez. And treat yourself to digital cable.
With digital cable, you're blessed with a plethora of superior networks. "Game Show Network?" Yes. "VH1-Classics?" That, too. "Nickoledeon Games and Sports?" YAAAAY!
I've taken to watching "Nickelodeon Games and Sports." A lot. Pretty much the only thing I watch on TV anymore. 'Round the clock, I can enjoy all the old Nickelodeon game shows that I loved as a kid. Nick Arcade. Get the Picture. And, of course...
Finders Keepers.
Hot shit. I love me some Finders Keepers. For two glorious years ('87-'89), this show graced our airwaves. If you haven't experienced "The Finders," all you need to know is that it's kids tearing up a house. That's it. Sure, it's obstenisbly to find some hidden item, but all that matters is... IT'S KIDS TEARING UP A HOUSE!
That's the initial appeal. But lately I've grown to appreciate other (albeit subtle) details about the show. They are:
1. THE HOST
Finders Keepers' 1st-season host, Wesley Eure, should have never hosted this show. Or any show for that matter. Or even been on television. Never, ever, ever. This man fails at every possible task expected of him. He routinely stumbles over words, creates long gaps of silence, and makes inappropriate comments. Many of them vaguely racist. That said, if a Finders Keepers with the 2nd-season host Larry Toffler comes on, I TURN THAT SHIT OFF!!!
2. THE CONTESTANTS
The contestants' interview portion is incredible. Have you ever wanted to see a kid do his "impression" of "The Big Bopper?" Or how about a girl who says she looks like "Carol Seaver?" You have? Then boy, do I got a show for you. It's called Finders Keepers and it's on "Nickelodeon Games and Sports" at 2am.
3. THE AGONY OF DEFEAT
In what continues to be the worst/best/worst/best/best/worst/best aspect of this program, you get to see kids experience loss. Grand, soul-crushing loss. Unlike the majority of we grown-ups, these children have not yet adopted that magnificent quality known as "REPRESSING YOUR GENUINE EMOTIONS." If a contestant loses in the final round, they have no problems showing their anger, sadness, etc. Watching tantrums ain't just for the toy department in Sears, y'all! Mind you... this is also VERY, VERY DIFFICULT to view. I do not like watching kids face disappointment. Which is funny - because I thought most folks preferred to dredge up those moments from childhood where they had to cope with cruel realities.
Like... Slap Bracelets! Am I right?! Remember "Slap Bracelets?" I love the 80's!

Last Wednesday, my sterling roommate/cool-dude-friend Adam left Los Angeles to visit Iowa. He'll be there until early June, which means for nearly 6 weeks, I'll have the Robinson Street apartment to myself.
Don't worry, folks. I've taken the proper precautions to living alone. Yes, I have smeared tar on all the stairs in my basement. And of course, I placed glass Christmas decorations next to my windows. And what goes without saying, I released many tarantulas, so I can later place them on burgulars' chests in my most dire need.
Let's just hope that a scary, old man on my block doesn't put me in his barrel of salt and turn me into a mummy.
Do you like these scenarios? Do they sound funny/heartwarming to you? If so, may I suggest renting The Pagemaster? Your family will thank you!
Reminder: I'll try to make you laugh at...

If I owned a dog...
THE TOP THREE DOGGIES I WOULD WANT
1. BEAGLE
Adorable!
First and fur-most, I want a beagle! Like Snoopy. Not exactly like Snoopy though. Because admit it, Mr. Schulz, your beagle don't look like no beagle! My beagle, however, would sleep on his back on a red doghouse and have a scuzzy cousin. Peanuts.
2. LABRADOR RETRIEVER
A Mother Is Always At Work
Labrador Retrievers are like ice cream. They come in "chocolate," "black," and "yellow." Oh, and "strawberry." As a young boy in Iowa, I grew up with labrador retreievers. First, Joe. Then, Lucky. And finally, the immaculate Molly. Because of their influence on my young life, I would still like to own a labrador retriever. It's kinda like how I continue to eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch and watch Saved by the Bell. Do you remember Balki? I love the 80's! Peanuts!
3. Porkchop
I Love the Early 90's as Well!
I also want my own "Porkchop" from the popular Nickeloden cartoon (seen above). We would get into adventures and HAVE FUN!!! I would demand, however, he not wear that dorky green sweater or those brown shorts. He'd also have to leave behind that weird, blue/gray thing that's always following him around. PeanutZ!
I will not, however, be owning a dog anytime soon. They are too expensive. Besides, who wants a dog when you can have one of these... ?
