Well, I’m in Vegas, so why not see Elvis. Didn’t know he was 3 foot tall. He was a great impersonator and we had a lot of fun at the party. He didn’t sing, but he did pose for us. Awesome job Elvis!

This was part of the Blogworld New Media Expo.

I’ve seen some interesting kiosk booths before. The regular photo booth, the one photo booth that sketches out the picture, the penny smasher and the gumball contraption dispenser.

Remember the wax animal maker at the zoo?

Well this is a new one. It’s called the ‘Hurricane Simulator’. For $2.00, you will get a super fast fan blow air into the booth and “Simulate” a Hurricane.

I think I’ll pass on paying $2 to be part of a fake natural disaster.

If you’ve never seen the Xaio Xaio series, then you are in for a treat. The stick figure fight is on baby! These have been around for a long time by Zhu. Check out the whole series here. In the meantime, here is Xaio Xaio 3 – which is my favorite.

I always say – if you don’t want someone to taunt you for a lifetime, make it look like whatever they try, you are cool with. So if someone says your a poo-head, say “yeah, so what?” genius

David Letterman did that. He turned a bad situation into a media frenzy. He made his statement on the show and moved on.

Some people are wondering how he could do that and still have a show on CBS. Well, the fact is: Letterman is not employed by CBS. He is part of “Worldwide Pants”. CBS could cancel the contract with Letterman. If they did, he would make out like a bandit and just take his show and the Late, Late show to another network. CBS would lose on that.

Add to it the person that was blackmailing was indeed an employee of CBS. Robert “Joe” Halderman apparently was the producer of “48 Hours Mystery”, in which he won several Emmys.

The story is Halderman started dating Letterman’s personal assistant (in more than one way). Letterman didn’t want to see Halderman at any Late Show events. Halderman took it a little too personal and therefore cooked up this scheme.

We at Dorkazine applaud Letterman’s forthcoming of this issue. We respect he will only bring this up once. We also cheer his ability to turn it into a great skit – one that netted him 5.7 million viewers that night.

Of course that might not change what happens at home. Still, he took it in stride and it will go down in history for one of the moments in Late Night talk shows. Letterman is truely a Dork – one that gets women…

Today is National Eyebrow day. The reason why is because on this day back in 1890, Julius Henry Marx was born. Don’t know who that is? He is better known as “Groucho” Marx.

The Marx brothers are my favorite comedy trio. I’ve always loved “Thinking mans” comedy as oppose to slapstick comedy. There is a place for the slapstick comedy, but I like to be challenged.

Marx passed away on August 19, 1977 – 3 days after Elvis Presley.

So wear your glasses and mustache with pride! And here are a few quotes for you in the meantime:

A man’s only as old as the woman he feels.

Before I speak, I have something important to say.

Humor is reason gone mad.

I don’t care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.

Marry me and I’ll never look at another horse!

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.
