Hi, and welcome to the show.
As any child past the age of three knows, the Internet was created for one specific purpose. The great intellectual minds of our universe merged their efforts to develop what the rugrats on my block casually call the "World Wide Web."
At my house, we revel in formalities -- so, it's "Mr. World Wide Web."
And on special occasions, "Mr. You Frustrating Pile of Squeeze."
But, I digress. The Internet was developed to aid mankind in the overpowering fundamental necessity of a species hurtling toward a new desire. The need to quickly access last night's "Top 10" list.
Mr. Letterman is the custodian of these priceless compilations, and after many hours of exhaustive research, we, tired, yet exultant, learned an interesting kernel of truth. Mr. Letterman's given name is "David."
For those of you who might be new to our picturesque American shores, or, perhaps, you dwell in our suburbicarian multi-familied tracts of Europe, the name "David," we have learned, utilizing a complex code of empiracle sloth, Pythagorean hypotenuses, and vowel buying -- the name "David" roughly equivocates in some sections of the English speaking conscious to "Dave."
In honor of Mr. "Dave," we thought we would present those special hyperlinks to take you directly to his magnificent collections of pop culture frivolity, numerically reversed for heightened audience goosings.
And since I have pre-written that part and it only takes up a few sentences, I thought I'd better pad this piece with some other stuff. Enjoy.
- Late
Show with David Letterman Top 10
Indubitably, the most popular form of mirth in the Northern Hemisphere, the Top 10 takes to the airwaves most weeknights. (The Southern Hemisphere? That would be the Saturday cable show with the bad Charo clones.) These edgy transcripts, plus Dave's entire CBS list archive and a choice collection of monologue bites, must top your laugh search.
- Buckles
owned by David Gilbert
Nice dog, good dog! Imagine Snoopy all grown up. Buckles is a hungry, wise-cracking mutt in this King Features comic strip revolving around family life. Ha-ha funny, and often, surprisingly sweet. Buckles is the perfect lap(top) dog!
- Dave
by Dave Miller
This enjoyable strip from Tribune Media follows the wanderings of an everyday Dave from home to the office and back. Updated daily, with a nice collection of 65 previous adventures, plus extras.
Dave
Barry by Dave Barry
I suspect we all appreciate and applaud any man
who can write about Cow and Bunny Vacuum Cleaner Covers, and such, and
pick up a fortune, plus a Pulitzer Prize for commentary, without unsightly
forehead perspiration bubbles. In fact, you go read his weekly Miami
Herald column and archival loopiness, while I go write about "Moo and
My Hoover."
Reality
Check by Dave Whamond
Stylized, bright and jocular art underscores
this witty comics page feature, presented by United Media. A handsome 7/52
offering. Four weeks archive.
Speed
Bump by Dave Coverly
Stating the obvious, you need to slow down for
this Speed Bump. Offbeat viewpoints add interest to this series
of one-shot cartoon panels. Daily from Creators Syndicate.
Humor
Guide at The Mining Company by Mom and Dad
By no means would a certain cuddly, but cute,
dimpled hunk, sex machine to all the chicks, Shaft, Humor Guide presume
to include himself on or near the level of the fine comedy craftsmen above.
But, hey, my middle name's Dave, and a plug is a plug! Watch these pages
for more "Miner's Digest Condensed Looks."
About Your Guide: Mike Dave Durrett hasn't been sleeping well lately and prefers you not know about his recurring nightmare involving jowl lifts, pineapple chunks, and Chad Everett.
