SLADE HAM. Stand-up comedian, Texan, TNB Arts & Culture associate editor.
Drinker of whiskey and coffee (although not necessarily at the same time).
Slayer of dragons…and of Ronnie James Dio…but not of your friend.
Victim of the fangs of a rabid cat, the claws (and knives) of a former girlfriend, and the whims of a South Korean cab driver.
Admirer of Garfield Logan, flag virtuoso.
And, in the end, a useless individual.
First!
I win, bitches!
I like Slade the most!
Ah…
Thank you, God, for not making the moment between writing and hitting ‘add comment’ one of cruel irony and another comment poster.
Ha! You beat me once and look at the crowing, time zone boy 🙂
Simon, just because your first DOES NOT mean you like Slade the most. Insufferable.
Oops. ‘you’re’
He beat you by four hours though 🙂
No fighting, Simon… There’s enough of me to go around.
For some reason, with this picture, Slade, my brain inserts a video game controller into your hands.
I don’t know how that makes any sense at all in the context of the photo, but every time I see it, I have to re-remind myself that it’s sunglasses.
I was jus tthinking the exact same thing.
Wars would be a lot safer if they were fought via online games of Call of Duty…
I also picture the controller every time.
It’s MY picture and I even think that I am playing Xbox in it.
Xbox in a very messy room.
Slade, you really have to get the folks in the unit above to turn down the bass.
Hahaha. I did it myself, with some old school hip hop.
Nemesis actually.
I’m not even sure why Nemesis popped into my head actually. I can’t even remember the name of the song I used to like actually.
Classic Dallas Hip-Hop, that Nemesis. You must be thinking about “Last night,” with that crazy bass. They were demoing houses even before the Miami crews made that famous.
Unrelated, but on the old school tip the obvious picture caption is maybe too obvious, but hey…
“Don’t push me ’cause I’m close to the…edge! I’m trying not to lose my head. UH HUH HUH HUH HUH!”
That’s the one! With the wedding march in the background. I used to LOVE that song. i couldn’t have named it for a thousand bucks though.
Yes! I was wondering when this was going to happen. You’re the best.
*MUAH*
Slade!!
I love this dude!
🙂
I love ya back, Gloria.
Can’t believe I’m just now reading these comment.s
Ah, Greg. A very clever ploy to lure me out of hiding, I see?
I should be back around Monday hopefully, when I will attempt to catch up on so many posts that I’ve missed over an incredibly busy July. My super-sincerest apologies for not being my normal participatory self recently.
Big hugs. THRILLED to be on the front page 🙂
Nah, I saw you had a lot of shows coming up and thought you could use the TNB “bump,” if we may purloin Colbert’s phrase.
Release the Kraken!
No mas Kraken para mi.
Slade – I like you better than Simon does.
Then you should have woken up earlier to prove it….
You STILL owe me a squirrel.
And a vitamin water.
How did I forget that pink Vitamin Water in Dallas? That should have been the first thing on my to do list. I will stock the compound refrigerator with them, I promise.
This picture rules. When Slade brings the house down, he’s so metal that he does it literally.
Congrats, man!
Bringing Down the House! Why didn’t I think of that as the caption! Doh!
I’ll never be as metal as Megan…
Slade Ham, with the impossible name,
you are one of the funniest people I know!
I am so glad you came to TNB!
Live long and prosper, silly name guy!
I am glad I ended up here as well.
– Silly Name guy
AHA!
You forgot to mention
roguish impersonator!
Slade is a true Tijuana Ninja. I don’t know what that means!
I miss Erika.
And Mexican sushi.
But mainly Erika.
Ugh. I am a self-absorbed stooge for being away, Slade, and I apologize. [snaps fingers] A bottle of Jameson’s for the featured writer! Put it on my tab!
You are ten times forgiven. I’ve been AWOL for almost a month, and have almost certainly missed at least one of your posts. I have the best of intentions, yet never seem to follow up.
So hiya, stranger 🙂
I’ll not turn down the James though…
