The Most Dangerous Freeway in America
I’m sure you’ve heard of various studies on the news, such as the best city to live in (LarryLand, of course).

They’re Trying To Tell Me Something
So, my wife and I go into a popular framing store. I’ve been there many times now. The guy who works there and I built some pretty cool “keepsake boxes” together – He mounted the keepsakes; I made the frame. I thought all was great, until we see this cat mounted on the wall. Clearly…

Weather in LarryLand
According to “Chief Meteorologist” Dallas Raines (you just know that his career path was determined when he was a young lad) there is rain. Not only that, but it is “Leaving Hollywood” and “Traveling along the 5”, apparently heading out of town for the holidays. Only in LA can a storm get stuck in traffic…

Child’s Play
The Nutcracker is a child’s play. I was in it for 10 years. How’d that happen? If you had asked me 40 years ago in my twenties that I’d be part of a ballet, much less in one, I’d have thought you were Nuts, that you were Off Your Cracker that…. You’re right. A warning…
