Dr. Dremos was set on fire last night

One thing I forgot about Las Vegas:
There are tons of gift shops everywhere. We stayed at The Stratosphere (Wal-Mart of casinos), which is next door to the "world's largest gift shop." I don't know if people really keep track of gift shop size, but this place claims they do. Anyway, the odd thing is that all of these places have signs advertising what they sell. Most signs will have five to eight things listed. For some reason, mocassins made the list on every gift shop's list of five to eight items. How could mocassins be a top eight seller? The world's largest gift shop even had mocassins as the only item that was highlighted by a giant red box. They also featured sundries. So what I'm saying is, if you go to Vegas and forget your mocassins, and maybe your coonskin hat, they got you.
The crowd definitely wasn't good last night at Dr. Dremos. In fact, it was easily the worst decent sized crowd I've ever been in front of. They seemed like they may have actually been retarded. With that said, the show took another hit when the third comic, Rory Scovel called someone a "cunt". It wasn't someone who was there. He was talking about someone who stole a joke from him. I agree that "the c-word" was warranted. But as soon as he got to the "n" in the word, the crowd reached funeral level silence. It was hilarious, because he went on to say it 3 or 4 more times.
Also, there were two redneck, white trash, pieces of shit who were sitting in the back, next to me when the first couple comics were on stage. They made a conscious decision to come to the show and heckle. After everything the comics said, they would yell something that didn't make sense. The comic would say, "I got stuck in traffic," and these idiots would yell out something like, "I WONDER why she broke up with you. You faggot!" Then, when my friend Jon Mumma was on stage, they took it to another level. Jon was doing a Knight Rider joke, and these guys got really offended and yelled, "Noooo! That ain't right! Whatever! Boooooo!" If you are a person who can be offended by a Knight Rider joke, please don't leave your house. They are jokes. It isn't that serious. Anyway, after the Knight Rider issue, they were asked to be quiet. Then they revealed that they were friends of one of the comics. So, what this comes down to is, if you are a comic, and your friends heckle people, I will heckle you... effectively. I'm not going to yell random shit. I'm going to ruin your set. Get your people in check.
My set was okay. The crowd who was offended by my joke about girls who set their alarm clocks ahead. That's edgy, I know. Then the one that actually pissed me off was that they were offended when I suggested that there may have been a typo in the Qu'ran. If you get offended by either of these things, please don't go to a comedy show.
At the end of Danny Rouhier's set, he, Rory, Jon and myself sang the theme from Growing Pains to Curt Shackleford, who runs the show. People were offended once again. Apparently the line "Show me that smile again," is on the same level as "the c-word" at Dr. Dremos.
Smooches.

My friends and I thought the show was good, especially you obviously. For the record we were laughing. Wet hands.
