I wanted to quickly post about the coolest thing to happen to me since our move to Los Angeles:
A month back comedian/writer Dana Gould was on the Adam Carolla morning show and did his little bit about Batman and Robin chasing down the joker but Batman had to force Robin to pull the batmobile over because he has terrible diarrhea (see the last 5 minutes of Adam Carolla's latest podcast). I thought this was the funniest thing I'd ever heard (replacing Patton Oswlat's favorite Christmas memory) and immediately made Nicole listen to it (who wasn't all that impressed). Anyway, to make a long story short, Dana is a parent of one of Nicole's kindergartners and I made her tell him how funny I thought his bit was.
Fastforward to last weekend at the school fundraiser event and there I am meeting Dana Gould and having him tell me that he was so glad to hear I loved his bit and that I'm a man after his own heart. Then, he tells me his friend is a cartoonist and actually drew up Batman on the commode and that he was going to get me a copy. On Monday Nicole came home with an envelope containing not only the Batman drawing but also Dana's latest DVD! How fantastic is that?
I love LA.
