Okay, it’s been way TOO long since my last Celebtweets.  I’ve been busy and haven’t been bothering celebrities like I know I should.

In the past I’ve won the attention of Jackie Stallone  and incurred the wrath and then love of Steve Agee.

Today when I woke up, instead of heading to church where there is very little to do that’s funny, I took to Twitter.

Ralphie May

Ralphie May is one of my favorite comedians.  He got his start at seventeen after he won a local competition and got to open for the legendary Sam Kinison.  He tells a great story of ordering pizzas for Sam after the show among all the cocaine and partying Sam was doing.  Fat guys always know where to get pizza.

He also finished second on Last Comic Standing.  If you’ve watched his stand up, you know he’s great.  Also big – clocks in at over 400 lbs.

A great story about Ralphie is when, in Guam last year, he went up to a drug sniffing dog in the airport.  Then he started petting the dog.  Then he got arrested because he had grass on him.  Amazing.

Okay – enough about Ralphie.  This is really more about me than him.

So, last week on Marc Maron’s  WTF podcast, comedian Todd Glass came out of the closet.

Todd’s one of the best stand ups out there.  It takes a tremendous amount of courage to come out of the closet, and I admire him for doing it.

He’s been a phenomenal comic for over twenty years, and on WTF he stated that he came out because he “couldn’t listen to stories about kids killing themselves any longer [for being gay]… when am I going to have blood on my shirt? [because I’m not honest about who I am]”

That’s a very noble reason to come out, in my opinion.  Okay, enough kissing fanny.

Since they’re both comics, I found an opportunity to goof on both Ralphie and Todd at the same time.

My Retweet With Comment

Hopefully the joke is pretty obvious here.  No need to explain.

Ralphie May was the first to retweet with comment.

So, basically I’m bragging here.  The fact that Ralphie May called me hilarious is a pretty big deal to me.  So yay for me!

I’ll end this with one of the greatest Todd Glass moments captured live, where he puts a heckler in their place probably better than anyone with grace, logic, and aggression.  Well done.

Todd also has his own podcast on The Nerdist network, and you can listen to it here.
