Klosed Kaptioning Funnies

I'm up much too late on a school night, having a glass of wine, listening to some weird music (Naked City's Absinthe) and surfing the web, and have Craig Ferguson's show playing on the telly, muted (because I'd had on Letterman earlier to see Michael Richardson's rather pathetic and weird apology for his recent onstage racialist tirade). I glanced up a few minutes ago and saw Christian Slater being interviewed. I guess he must be in the new movie Bobby, because he was talking about it. (Yes, my senses remain sharp even into this late hour.) So but according to the closed captioning, the movie was apparently directed by... Well, goddamn, while I was writing my clever setup, I forgot the punchline. Shit. It was a real funny corruption of "Emilio Estevez" that some crazy typist threw in there. I think it was three words. I'm pretty sure the last word was "vezz", but that wasn't the funny part. It was the first couple words that made much chuckle. Dang.

Actually, this post is a pretty accurate example of how I tell jokes in real life.

Zing! Goodnight! I'll be here all week!
