<p>Friday Nov 30 2007  GIVEAWAY | Kenny Vs. Spenny: Season 3</p>
<p>Friday, November 30, 2007 at 8:33AM Though it's new to us, Kenny Vs. Spenny has been on Canadian television for 4 years now. So this DVD technically shouldn't even be available in the United States. Think of it as contraband from the future.> "TV's favorite roomies squeezed out another 13 head-case to head-case competitions. In Season 3, with the ante upped to new levels of shock and awe, whatever standards of decency left standing after last season were wiped out in this go-round. In season 3, "taking it to the next level" didn't necessarily mean up, and in several instances, Spenny's punishments for losing gets a little... how do we put this... Old Testament. And then , there's the notorious "Who can make a better porno?" included here in two versions. Prepare to be scarred.</p>
<p>HOW TO BE A WINNER1) Put "Kenny Vs. Spenny: Season 3" in the subject line of an email addressed to theapiary@gmail.com 2) Send that email before SUNDAY @ MIDNIGHT (12/2) 3) If you win, tell your friends (via blog/MySpace/Facebook bulletin?), "Yay, I just won this great thing at The Apiary" Winners will be selected at random and notified shortly thereafter. Some restrictions may apply. This giveaway is limited to entrants ages 18+ because this stuff can get pretty graphic at times. Kenny Vs. Spenny airs on Comedy Central, Sundays @ 11:30PM.</p>

<p>Friday, November 30, 2007 at 6:33AM --Victor Varnado made a video game.--Daniel Kitson, the man who's currently THE TALK OF THE INTERNET, is coming to Union Hall for an exclusive 4 night run. Bumpershine is running a ticket giveaway RIGHT NOW. --Regarding the recent spate of UK/International comics splashing across the pages of this website, a cherished reader wrote to us: "You should go to Edinburgh for a week next year. Go the second or third week when it's really kickin'. You'd learn about tons of terrific comedians that the rest of America doesn't know about. A few more very famous UK comedians are Simon Munnery, Earl Okin, and Josie Long. Josie Long is like the Kristen Schaal of London, Simon Munnery is like the 80's Todd Barry of London and Earl Okin is like the Jason Trachtenburg of London." --We noticed that both The PIT and the Magnet Theater are doing charity drives for the holidays. If you have any leftover tins of beans or water chestnuts, now is the time to unload. --The Comic Book Club is packing a wallop of a 1-year anniversary on December 18th with guest appearances by Brian Michael Bendis and Bill Hader. --The UCBT is hosting another On Strike! show this Monday: The Colbert Report! Can't even imagine who the special guest will be. Hillary Clinton? Ban Ki-Moon? Wait, wait--don't tell us. It seems to have SOLD OUT before it was announced. --Speaking of these On Strike shows, rumor has it there was a bit of a showdown between Lorne Michaels and General Electric in order to stage the SNL one. --It's being said that Gawker's advice columnist, Tionna T. Smalls, is fixing to get her own reality series. --SOMEONE'S GONNA HEAR ABOUT THIS: We usually keep our complaints to oursevles, but if we were filling out a Zagat Survey right now, The Triple Crown, the preferred bar of The PIT, would get straight ZEROES. We had a business lunch there the other day and ordered an iced tea. The waitress kept supplying us with refills but, little did we know, we were being charged for each one! At the end of the meal, we got cold cocked with a bill laden with outrageous iced tea fees. Swear to God, this is a rough transcript of the conversation with the manager, who, if you are familiar with the establishment, looks like a dead-inside John Locke from Lost:Us: Hi. We only ordered 1 iced tea and 4 free refills. There seems to be a problem with this bill.Manager: This is Manhattan!Us: But the last time we were here, we did the same thing and were only charged for 1.Manager: The waitress who did that has since been fired.Us: Um... that sounds rather unbelievable. So, you're saying you don't offer refills on anything? Every restaurant in the world gives refills on iced tea.Manager: We give refills on coffee and tea.Us: That's what this is!Manager: No, we give refills on hot tea.Us: Look, we come here every couple weeks and have lunch. Your customers' satisfaction means that little to you? We're probably never coming back if you insist on charging us for 5 iced teas.Manager: That's your choice. You don't get free refills on gasoline when you fill up your car.US: This isn't gasoline! This is iced tea!Eater would care about this story.</p>

<p>The Apiary | Post a Comment in NVW Tuesday Nov 27 2007  Character Sketches | Sean Patton By: Neil Padover</p>
<p>Tuesday, November 27, 2007 at 9:15AM Sean Patton doesn't do characters. He doesn't jump around on stage or deliver deadpan one-liners, although he admits to having tried all of these things at one time. What you see is what you get, and what you see is someone who looks like John Belushi's body double (sometimes Ron Jeremy, depending on if the moustache is in bloom). Despite all of the personal baggage you're likely to hear about in Patton's act, perhaps the comic's greatest challenge has been in finding his comedic voice. "One of the guys I admire the most is Eddie Izzard. This guy can just kind of weave through being really animated and pantomiming a lot, to just kind of standing there--and either way it works for him,'" Patton says. "I would watch other guys like Sam Kinison who's always full force. And I was like, 'what am I?'" At "The Creek and the Cave" recently, his twenty minute set covered a variety of topics like his struggle with obsessive compulsive disorder, being broke in New York, and living with his aunt, a recovering "crackhead." Patton's jokes don't just sublimate his personal experiences into some form of therapy as so many comics often do. He is able to look beyond himself and articulate how his own experiences are representative of those things which affect us all on a grander scale. When Patton tells a joke, you never end up back where you started. Each premise is a building block for the absurd world he creates on stage. One of the funniest moments of the show involved a story about Patton's drug addled aunt getting arrested for stealing from a supermarket and then selling the goods out in the store's parking lot. Patton jokes, "Clearly she was arrested because that's just brilliant, that's too good of an idea. We've got to put the kibosh on that before everyone finds out and they're all millionaires. And the thing is, the security cameras caught it: people were buying shit from her." In three lines the bit has grown from a tragically funny anecdote about a family member's troubles with addiction into a satirical take on law enforcement and run-of-the-mill consumerism.</p>
