Want to know what sucks about work? It gets in the way of fun. Seriously, what a drag. During the day I usually have XM’s The System playing (you get free online streaming when you subscribe). Yesterday morning, don’t ask me why, but I started thinking about XM’s comedy stations and wondered if they ever played Dane Cook. So I went to look what was on and dammit if it wasn’t a Dane Cook special right then and there! Here’s where work becomes a drag: I couldn’t listen to it. He swears and that would be inappropriate and unprofessional to have that coming out of the speakers even though I have them low enough that you can’t hear anything unless you’re in my cubicle. Regardless, I wouldn’t feel right listening to something like that at work even if I had a pair of headphones. But man, that stinks. I have a feeling it’s the same stuff we heard at his show in April and since we missed a good portion thanks to the idiots who arrived late and couldn’t find their seats, I’d like to see\/hear it again. Luckily he’s got an HBO 90-minute comedy special airing on September 4th. According to his website it’s 90% new material and some stuff hasn’t been heard anywhere (which I’m assuming also means Chicago). I can’t wait!<\/p>\n
Oh and not that he reads this, but my condolences to Dane; he recently lost his mother to cancer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
