My First Interview

While volunteering at The Trevor Project, I left a stellar impression on another volunteer who is a broadcasting major at Pasadena College. She asked me to come to campus to talk about my journey from the east coast on her radio show.

Ever Been In One Of These Situations????

Next Stop...... 90210!!

I'm driving around today looking for the Peach Pit hoping that Dylan, Brandon and Steve are hanging out there!!!

I moved to my new place this past weekend; Beverly Hills! My new place is in a great neighborhood! I'm really looking forward to living here. I have 3 new roommates, Pete, Haley and Jack. Below is a picture of 2 of them.

I also got booked to be one of the opening comedians for Margaret Cho at The Comedy Store next month!!! I am really excited!!!

Coal Energy Drink

I participated in a spoof video for "Coal Energy Drink". Look for me in the background!

Double Trouble in LA!!

My twin brother Jeremy is arriving tomorrow for a few day! It should be an action packed couple of days showing him around the Los Angeles area!

I'm also starting to pack up my stuff and moving again.... I'm heading to 90210!!! Beverly Hills here I come!

Yesterday I was in an infomercial for Philips Norelco®! It was an on the street shoot that will be aired on their website and Wal-marts.

No Obama but...

It was a beautiful night in Los Angeles. After a hike on Runyon Canyon I walked down Sunset Blvd. to see what all the hoopla was with Obama's visit. After walking pretty far, I started to think.... "Jeez, if I do see him, he is only going to be in the motorcade. And then I'm going to have to walk all the way back home." So, I didn't walk all the way to The House of Blues (where he was at). I stopped at a corner and who did I see walking to The Chateau Marmont....

None other, than Michael Lohan (Lindsay's father) with some blondie!

I started talking to his driver and of course I had questions to ask. Do you drive him around a lot? Is he a dick as much as he seems? However, he wouldn't offer up any good, dirty details.

He did say that after all the years of driving, the Osbourne's were his favorite!

Look Mom.... I'm on TV

I got to attend the first result show for Season 13 of "Dancing with the Stars". We got pretty decent seats where they shot the hosts, Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke for a segment.

Here is a crappy picture from it. You can see me in the top right corner :-)

We were there for over 4 hours for the 2 hours of recording. They shuffled us around through security and waiting lines like cattle before seating us.

The next time I attend this show, I'll be a contestant!

A Serious Issue on "The Doctors"

A viewer wrote into "The Doctors" with a issue they are experiencing. Because they needed a professional spin on it, they called Scott Backman to do the re-enactment.

First Week, First Loss

Yesterday, we had an awesome first day of kickball. I have some great guys on my team, "The Virgin Mary's".

We also experience our first loss.... it was something like 22-0. We were down 4 players though.

It's That Time Of Year

On Friday I attended the 5th Annual ECO Emmys Celebrity Chateau. What it basically was, was a showcase of different non-profits and environment friendly companies from around the country to get celebrity attentions. What all the tables were hoping for was a big celebrity to fall in love with their company and spread the word around. Unfortunately, I don't think the event got the celebrity attendance they were hoping for.

However, Brad Sherwood (pictured below) and Penny Marshall (who definitely seemed drunk!) were there.

Here is a picture of me and one of the other celebrity ambassadors.

Today is the first day of the kickball league I joined. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. Well, hoping it's going to be!

Last night, my friends Chris, Rusty and I went to the taping for "Dancing with the Stars". They are having a dance team to exhibition during the premiere of season 13 which they recorded before the live event. We then went to Canter's Jewish Deli and ran into Rosie Perez. What a coincidence becuase earlier that day, we were having a debate on if she was a fly girl or not. Rust went up and asked here while I was ordering rainbow cookies. Final answer, "I'm a kworyahgrahpha (that's choreographer spelled phonetically)"!

Pre-Emmy Celebrity Ambassador

I am friggin' excited that I'm going to be a Celebrity Ambassador at this year's ECO Emmys Celebrity Chateau!! Basically, I will be escorting the 2011 Emmys nominees and celebrities into the event.

I hope someone has a camera!!!

Fall is in the air...

I wonder what fall weather is going to be like in Los Angeles. The nights have been cooler which makes sleeping so much nicer!

I started a new stand-up coaching class this weekend with Greg Wilson. He's a funny guy but boy, is he a touch cookie! There were 4 of us in the class and we all got our asses kicked by him.

I also signed up for the Los Angeles Kickball League which plays for 7 weeks on Sunday. I haven't played kickball since I was in high school I'm sure. It should be a lot of fun and a great way to meet some new people.

(I've been in LA for over 4 months now, so thought it was time to get a little work done)

Sure is hot..... I need some fans!

It's another hot, hot, hot day here in Los Angeles with temperatures over 100.

Had a great time with Mike & Marco on Monday who were visiting LA from Dubai!

Last night I had a show at The Comedy Store that went really well. On Satursday I start a coaching class with Greg Wilson.

But in the meantime, make sure you like my Facebook Fan Page. This is where I'll post all my performances as well as on my website!

Have a great weekend!

Flash Mob with The Trevor Project

For Suicide Prevention Week, The Trevor Project created a flash mob to "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" in the middle of Universal City Walk.

You can see a good shot of me around the 1:50 minute mark.

Deal or No Deal?!

This was my offering envelope at church today. I figured it couldn't hurt to bargain with the big guy.

It's Already Labor Day Weekend?!

I can't believe it is September already.


Last night I performed at MJ's in Silverlake for their "Thank Gay It's Friday" comedy night. It certainly was a gay old time...... average age there was 45 years old.


Today I'm off to do my first ever flash mob! It's to raise awareness of "National Suicide Prevention Week" for The Trevor Project to the song "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". They sent the YouTube video of the dance to practice but we have rehearsal for 3 hours before the actual attack! (Below is the breakfast of champions I had this morning in preparation for the big event)

My friends Mike & Marco from Dubai are going to be here in LA this weekend so we'll meet up tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces!


Have a great and safe Labor Day weekend.


Thinking of you Aunt Ev! 

Hell of a Day at Sea Sir!

This afternoon I went to the taping of "Excused", a new show starting this fall on CBS. I believe it is going to be something similar to the Bachelor and Bachelorette. Another reality dating show..... just what we need.

What I had to do was walk up to the door of the house and tell the girls why they should let me in. Unfortunately, I knew I was going to be "excused" and not allowed in.

I then went to The Hollywood Improv for their open mic. They picked 16 performers out of the over 75 people who showed up. Luckily, I was chosen my first time there. Yippie!!! I spoke to some of the other comedians and some had been there up to 8 times without ever being chosen!

It was a great set so hopefully someone important was in the audience and I get a gig out of it.

Fingers crossed!

"But darling, if you have a baby, you won't be the baby anymore!"

Fitting for Tonight

Tonight I'm playing The Belly Room at The Comedy Store in Hollywood.

Here is another little ditty.

Geyser on Sierra Bonita Ave.

I got in last night after going to a comedy show, laid down to watch some re-runs of The Golden Girls and was on the edge of falling asleep. All of a sudden I heard a weird noise outside my window. I had no idea what it was but thought it would only last a short time so I didn't get up to see what it was.

Finally, after 5 minutes I got up and peeked my head over the balcony. There were dozens of people out on the sidewalk, water all over the place and then I saw a geyser blowing water into the air. And then when I looked a little close, I noticed a car in the bushes and on the sidewalk.

Some kid who looked 25, had driven his brand new Mercedes knocking the fire hydrant over and landing on the sidewalk. The car was completely jacked up but hopefully Mom & Dad will get him a new one.

Geyser blew for about 30 minutes. Guys were running into the water as if they were at Water Works in Seaside, NJ. (Do my Jersey shore people remember Water Works?)

Here are 2 pictures. After they turned the hydrant off, you can see the car on the sidewalk.

And then they finally got it turned off.

First Open Mic

Tonight I'm going to my first open mic at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. It is a lottery system, so everyone puts their name in and 10 people are chosen to perform their 5 minutes of schtick.

Fingers crossed!

Here is another little bit from my first performance for my blog followers!

Here is a little more....

OK, OK..... Here is a little taste....

Here is a little bit from my first stand up performance. Enjoy!

Back to reality...

I had a great time visiting friends in Boston and Provincetown over the past 10 days. So, now I’m back in Los Angeles; sunny skies with no clouds or rain in sight on the 10 day forecast. I have received a good number of phone calls and emails to book stand up shows so hopefully my calendar will book up quickly.

I forgot my camera in Ptown so I don’t have my pictures to post yet. However, you can take a look on Facebook where people have posted some from Carnival Week.

Here is one. (David, Jim, Me & Ernie)

Back to Boston

Just got back to Boston from Ptown. Had tons of fun!

Back to LA on Monday.

Pictures and updates then.

Day #3 on my Boston and Ptown trip.

It has been raining all day which is a huge change from the L.A. weather I have gotten so use to. And as usual, Jeff and I have befriended more women then men.

Nice to be back!

Another first...

After my back waxing, I developed some red irritation and thought the best thing to do would be to get a spray tan. You know, to help blend it all together.

I got to my appointment and met a very pretty Lauren. She was going to do me! I stripped down to my undies and there she went..... Spraying her stuff all over me.

I didn't realize this was going to be an education lesson either. She asked me if I knew what a "pig on a spit" was. She proceeded to describe and act out with me.

looking forward to lesson #2!

Skydiving in Perris, CA

Great day with Jonathan today down in Perris, CA!

The Doctors

Today I taped a segment for The Doctors. (http://www.thedoctorstv.com/) I can't wait to see the final video and will post when it will air.

We made a funny situation out of a very serious condition.

Start of a great week

Fellow comedians

Start of Jonathan's visit

Remember when....

Tonight won't be the first time I've been on stage. Remember?

Look out Michael Flatley from Scott Backman on Vimeo.

Backman X 2 =

Jonathan, my younger bro gets here on Sunday night from New Jersey. Unfortunately, he gets in after my stand-up performance. We are going skydiving in San Diego and will probably do other tourist things. Get our anus' bleached, pick up a hooker and have a nice lunch consisting of water cress, lemon wedges and water. 

And then next Friday I'm off to Boston and Ptown! Look out New Enlanders, the bitch is coming back for a visit. 

Dating Options....

First time for everything but... OUCH!!

I like new adventures, I'm not prude and I'm definitely not shy. I tried something today that I've never done before. I have a few friends that have done it and it certainly has been recommended to me in the past. So I took today by the balls and dove right in!

I got my back waxed!

In preparation for my vacation to Boston and Ptown next Friday, a little manscaping was in order. I can take care of everything else except for my back.

Also, I am trying to dodge the nicknames my friend Jeff likes to make up for me including Hairy Backman.

Smooth as a baby's ass now!

If Mom wants a grandchild....

Order one.

At the Comedy Store. (Awful picture though) He wanted to do "jazz hands"!

Remember what Sex & The City episode he was in?

Great Video!

Warning!!!

I don't think I'll be renting any apartments with this sign at the entrance. I'm surprised that people live in these buildings.

Is someone trying to tell me something?

In the past week, I have invites to JDate, eHarmony, Christian Mingle and BlackPeopleMeet.com...... Do they know me, or do they know me!!

And this book came in the mail!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

So they say..... except when it is with your credit card and social security numbers. Thankfully Bank of America caught it.

Fortunately, since it was caught early it will be easy to rectify and will be taken off my credit report! Now I'm paying $19/month for monitoring!

Shit.... it's always something!

On a lighter note, here is a video for your enjoyment!

Boy, do I feel stupid!

I went to an interview today at Hasbro for a guest host position. They were interviewing a lot of people so I didn’t get my hopes up. Also, since this was for a kids show, that exactly isn’t the demographic that I feel I am appropriate for.

They started with a 30 question “test”. Here are 2 sample questions,

1. At the Battle of Bunker Hill, who commanded the famous order, “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes.”?

2. Which famous model appeared on the first George Magazine wearing a George Washington wig?

I got one of those right..... cut to the chase, I got 10 answers right and then was told by an employee, “We’ll get in touch with you.”

Real Headshots...

On the set with...

Mario Lopez

Where is Lisa Turtle?

Exciting news..... My First Performance

I have my first stand up comedy performance on Sunday, August 7th at 7pm at the Acme Comedy Theater in LA. It will be video recorded so I will post it if anyone wants to see it.

I will try to protect people's innocence by changing the names mentioned.

Lunch in Santa Monica with...

Bruce, Pat and Kelsey Grammer.

What a nice guy!!!!

Sounding more like my father everyday...

Jeez, we are here at the Malibu RV Park and boy,.... not to be a cheap skate but they nickel and dime you for everything.  You rent the site for x amount and if you have any more than 2 people, there is an additional fee.  Since I have my car (or a rental while my car is at the body shop), that is additional.  The manager approached my father and said that since he has a motorcycle, that is additional.  WTF, all this stuff fits on the site they are renting.  If you have a dog, that is an additional fee.  

Not being cheap but hell, it would be cheaper (and nicer) to stay at the Ritz.  This is not vacation for me.  Too much work. 

My friends Brandon and James who I stayed with in Santa Monica when I first came out to California are coming over for dinner tonight.  

Stay tuned ...... exciting news tomorrow!!!

Trailer Park Trash

Manic Monday...

Carmageddon is over and to the very surprise they finished early. Wish I could say that for Boston's Big Dig. (is the Big Dig officially done?)

Well, now California has one other hurdle to overcome ..... Bruce and Pat. I am meeting them tonight in Malibu at the Malibu RV Park which I will lose my trailer park virginity. I have never stayed in a trailer before, especially in such close quarters with my parents. It should be fun but I better pick up some Ramona Pinot Grigio.

Yesterday I went to a party at a local watering hole. It was called the Red Dress Party. Before one of the owners of the bar had died of Aids and he his friends to have everyone wear a red dress to his funeral. (I wonder if he got this idea from The Golden Girls when Blanche wore a red dress to Dorothy's brother's funeral) Well, it was fun... Ugly but fun!

Here is Rusty and.... some party goers.

TGIF!

The biggest news out here is Carmageddon! They are closing the 405 all weekend to do some construction work on it. What kind of work, I really don't know. Which direction does the 405 run in, I don't really know either. They say that all the work will be completed so it can re-open by Monday morning otherwise they will be fined. Good luck people!


I got my head shots taken this morning. The photographer was really cool and cute. Sarah came along and did my make up (which I'm still wearing) and helped with the clothing options. I brought a bunch of shirts which after taking them out of the garment bag when I got there, realized I only brought white and blue shirts. I should have brought some other solid colored shirts but I figured, the clothes don't make the person, the person makes the clothes. (Maybe I'll believe that after my next glass of wine). Speaking of wine, Mom & Dad should be here on Monday.


I didn't get to visit Shady Pines today as I usually go there on Friday afternoons. I am going tomorrow afternoon after stand-up class which I have to do 5 minutes of stand-up about observational humor. This will be easy.

• LA drivers only use red traffic lights a suggestions
• LA people like to name drop. Even if it doesn't contribute or have anything to do with the current conversation.
• Why do people on Facebook have private conversations on public walls for people to see?
• Why does "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" have a Facebook page and Twitter account?

While in the car today I realized something....... I kind of like this Britney Spears song on the radio. I must have heard it a bunch of times before but always changed the channel immediately. So my lesson learned this week is that I'm going to listen to songs more than once before I determine if I like them or not. And while I'm doing that, I should really start doing this with people too. Not judging them and putting them into a category before I really get to know them. OK, OK! Let's be realistic now! Let me start with the song thing first and see how that works out!

Signed Glossy Anyone?

Hello all, whoever all of you are....

Went to the game show audition for "Secret Fortune" last night with my friend Rusty.  It is currently playing in the UK and they are trying to bring it to the US.  It is a cross between "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" and "Deal Or No Deal".  The woman hosting the auditions was from NY and picked up on my accent. So, hopefully she'll help a brotha out! She asked us what we would do with the million dollars if we won. Rusty said he would open a non-profit for children and their family's who are only getting by and don't get any sort of extras. I said I would open a rehabilitation  facility that combines my two passions, the elderly and animals. It would rehabilitate the elderly with animals. It is amazing the effect an animal can have on their mood. I saw that with my own grandmother. She would light up if she got her hands on a dog or cat. So, hopefully they will like the our ideas of making the world a better place and choose us. 

Now I'm getting ready for my parent arrival. They are currently in Colorado and I expect them here on Friday or Saturday. The plan is for them to park their trailer in Malibu on the beach and then spend some time in Los Angeles. If all goes well and we are all speaking to each other after these few days, I'll drive up the coast with them and then fly back to LA. I better double up on my Xanax. (just in case)

On Friday morning I'm getting my head shots taken so tomorrow I'm going to go get some new shirts to use for them. I'll probably just leave the tags on them and then return them afterwards.  After all, I am on a fixed income....... And a little Jew-ish. My younger brother Jonathan's girlfriend's sister lives a few blocks away from me. She is going to come and help with clothing options and make up. 

A lot of different things going on. At least it makes me forget about my car. 

Stand by, I find out on Saturday when my first stand-up performance is going to be. Yah!
 

What's up with your colon?

Busy morning taking care of getting my car situated. My whole side of my car got keyed in Dorchester one night a week before I left Boston. I'm trying to get that touched up as well while it's at the body shop.

For my stand up class on Saturday, I have to come up with a 5 minute bit about observational humor. The comic who is famous for this is Jerry Sienfeld. "Don't you hate it when...." or "What's up with that?"

This is going to be easy because I see jackasses all around. Don't you hate it when people slam on their brakes to look at something on the side of the road?! What's up with people thinking you are holding the door open for everyone; I got places to go!

Or, what about those people on the Phillip's Colon Health commercials. Maybe the people from the depression medication commercials should try Colon Health because those people look really happy.

Oye vey!

Now I'm off to an audition for a game show at CBS.

Really?

Body Work

Happy Monday!!

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from the auto body shop this morning which my car was towed to on Saturday. He wanted to get my information and would handle setting up the inspection with my insurance company while setting me up with a rental car. I needed to go down there to sign some papers to initiate the work to be done. My friend Rusty gave me a ride down there after stopping at Starbucks and having my first ever vanilla latte.

This place was jammed packed with wrecks. With all of the drivers in LA, I guess there comes more accidents. Or is it that LA drivers are just really bad! Just sayin'!

Enterprise rental car came and picked up me and Julie, another accident victim. What a nice girl! She's from Texas and lives in Santa Monica. She just got back from Martha's Vineyard last night after being there for a week.

We pulled into the empty Enterprise parking lot. "Where are all the cars?" Julie asked. The driver said, "we are in the process of finding more cars from other offices." Of course, if the auto body shop is packed, that must mean the rental car places are empty. I chimed in, "Are we going to have to wait long?" He responded, "It shouldn't be too long." (I know what that means..... Good thing my phone is charged up!)

About 30 minutes later, I got into a car. The Enterprise worker walked me to the car, got in to check the mileage and gas level. He turns to me, "Well, the car is on empty. Just make sure you return it on empty." I got in and then said to him, "Ummm, the check-engine light is on too." He said, "that is probably due to it not having any gas". I went and got gas but the check-engine light is still on.

I might as well get some body work done this week as well. Massage and a back wax!

Always look on the bright side...

After a day like this, it can only go up.

Went to my first day of stand up comedy class this morning. It was a lot of fun, but it was going to be some work. Not like the work for a science or history class obviously but very personal work. I need to figure out what make me stand out from everyone. What is funny about me that is different?

We had to stand up in front of the class which include 9 other students and talk about anything for 5 minutes. I talked about being born as a twin to parents from very different backgrounds. I used the gay card which obviously is the easy way to win it over. After all, my little ponies, rainbow bright and dressing up in Mom's bathing suits is a sure laugh.

After class, I went to the grand opening of a dog day care with my friends Kelly and Rusty. What a crowd! They had drinks and great food. By the way, where is my doggy bag? (I literally mean the doggy gift bag which I was going to send to Ernie in Boston for Brighton.)

It was time to go home. So while driving home bad, stupid, idiotic, awful, horrible driver in front of me slammed on her rental car's brakes to look at someone was being pulled over. (according to her mother in the front seat). So, I barely rear-ended her. However, Ms. Gonzalez (just guessing) said she was just involved in another accident earlier this week. (are you surprised? I should have asked for her "papers") Well, now my car needed to be towed because the windshield washer fluid box was hanging down and rubbing on my tired. WTF!

So, now I have to wait to Monday to figure out what the hell to do with it. Thankfully, a church I am "interviewing" is walkable and only a few blocks away.

In the meantime, my parents are on their way driving to California from New Jersey. I'm guessing they will be here on Tuesday. That is unless they both don't kill each other. (if so, I can understand both of their reasonings.) On a side note, my brothers both told me once when we were younger that if my parents ever got divorced they would always blame it on me. But it's not my fault they got married.

OK, well it has been a good/bad day. But after being a fan of the last 4 months of Oprah, I will look into the positive outcomes of the day to pick things up. Now I get a new scratch free bumper for my car.

Joan on the Rocks

Today while spending some time with the Kingsley residents, I met Joan, a lovely 94 year old lady. Joan's looks and personality remind me of my own grandmother a lot. She was born and raised in Los Angeles and use to act and model. I'm always surprised what I'm going to learn about the Kingsley residents. I now know she had a cesarean section with her son Grant. She told me that as a child, the kids would refer to Kingsley manor as the "Funny Farm". "Look where I am now", she then told me.

The rest of Joan's day consisted of taking a nap and then taking a pain pill before dinner; Scotch on the rocks. She's had a "pain pill" every day for the past 50 years.

"Horrible Bosses" is a movie I have lived... Or would have it been titled "Horrible Employees"?!

Backman vs. Bacchman...... Discuss.

"Camping" in Santa Barbara

Memorial Day weekend, my friends Chris, Blake & I took a trip up to check out Santa Barbara. It was about a 2 1/2 hour drive up the coast from Los Angeles. Our plan was to drive up and check out the beaches on the way and then find a hotel to stay at in Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara is beautiful. After walking around and grabbing a late lunch, we then drove around looking for a hotel with a vacancy. Everywhere seemed to be sold out for the night or had a 2-3 night minimum. I used my phone to try and find a place for us to stay but no luck.

Finally, the Sand's Inn had a vacancy... but there was a catch. It was a conference room where they rolled cots in and a TV. It was a section of a much larger conference room where they used removable (not sound proof) walls to create smaller rooms. Luckily, it did have a private bathroom with a shower. The price was right and we took it.

This was as close to camping I ever want to get.

Bronies; A New Bromance

As a child, my mother gave my twin brother and I My Little Ponies to play with. As kids, we must of asked my mother to get them for us. But, who knows. I don't think we ever asked for a real pony. (Mom, did we?) Luckily, we grew out of the pony fettish. However, it looks like some still are getting their My Little Pony fix. Welcome, The Bronies!!!

Not Guilty?

I think my brother Jeremy put it best about the verdict of Casey Anthony.

"She was not found to be "innocent". She was "not guilty". It's like don't call someone ugly, just say they're "not pretty". "

Is it me??

A while ago a friend fowarded a funny video to me. However, he forgot to remove the message when it was sent to him. This was the email he recieved along with the video.

NOW.... there is another video. (Thanks Matthew!) Maybe I talk that way, but I don't think I sound like it.

Facebook Poll

Foot in mouth...

Tonight I went to the taping of G4's Web Soup. As an audience member, they want you to have lots of energy. However there was a woman sitting behind me that was a little over the top. She was very boisterous and full of piss & vinegar and had clearly been to a taping before because she was explaining to another audience member of how many more segments that they were going to be taping.

I got a look of her and she wasn't what I expected. The red lipstick didn't necessarily go with the long, dried out grey hair. Just sayin'

At the end of the taping, the director thanked everyone for coming. I told him what a great time we had. Also mentioning, "The woman behind me has obviously been to a bunch of these tapings before. She was very loud". The director came back with, "She's one of the producers."

Ooops!

Shave and a Haircut

Just got back from getting a haircut and a straight edge shave which I bought through Groupon. I hadn't heard of or seen this barber shop before but it was a good deal.  I walked in and all the barbers where full of tatoos from head to toe. At least from what I saw. The barber next to me was telling a story and then all of a sudden he ripped his shirt off and started yelling dialogue from the story he was telling. Good thing he hadn't been giving a straight edge shave at the time!  

I heard a wide variety of other stories from the barber that was cutting my hair along from the other 5 that were there.  From one guy giving a friend $10,000 to help start his own barber shop and someone meeting an "exotic dancer" with daddy issues who was going to stop by the shop and check it out. Her one concern was that she was going to have sex with all the guys there; however only three would be ok. The story my barber filled me in on while finishing my shave was about another client of his. He belongs and works at a gay bathhouse. He would come into the shop frequently to get his head shaved and would share different experiences from the bathhouse. Apparently he is pretty well known for his fisting abilities.

Looking forward to my next haircut. 

Only in Florida

What a crazy state! Casey Anthony was found not guilty today in the murder case of her young daughter. She is today's OJ Simpson. I'm sure even he though she was guilty.

Should I give it a try? Probably not!
