WAXHAW-Thursday November 18th, 2010
Here it is, midnight and I am up late! Insomnia has set in and I stare blankly at the TV wondering what I can write about for this weeks paper. And to my disbelief and amazement I watched Jim Carrey, the original funny man
with the rubber face, giving David Letterman conniptions. |
 |
Now I am sure you are wondering why I would chose such a topic for the paper, after all my usual topics include typical town happenings, political rumblings and the ongoing opening and closing of restaurants antique shops and developers not to mention the occasional giant pot hole around our fair town. Well watching Jim Carrey do his thing was such a breath of fresh air I knew I needed share it with all of you who quietly, peacefully, slumbered through night dreaming of parties and turkeys soon to grace our lives. And what with elections and a such (finally behind us thank heaven) there have been too many somber topics intruding on our days, |
so it seems fitting to turn those frowns upside down and inject some Carrey medicine into our lives. For any who have watched more than one episode of Letterman's show know that normally the guests are on to promote their new movies, albums or what ever product they might be shilling at the time. Well Jim was no exception as he does have a new movie out but true to form he gave Letterman no corner captivating the audience... from the moment stepped on stage until the very end of his segment where he smashes his “coffee Cup” on Davids desk in a satirical finale of a very mmmm, how shall we say, intense attempt as a singer! |
| Rubber face, long skinny legs and arms all akimbo he never missed a chance to work the audience. There was his dialog on becoming a grandparent, a newly acquired bit where he totally unnerves Letterman by “undressing him with his eyes, OMG! as my son might text... |
all with Letterman relegated to the background obviously having lost complete control of the situation. It was great! And no matter what you think of Jim Carrey it was a Great Relief to be totally overcome with humor for a change. |
