      We were promised a skit showing what would happen if an average person smoked as much pot as Snoop Dogg and then took a batter of tests, but it never materialized. Something tells me that sketch isn&#8217;t going to make it to the air.

      While waiting at the education center, we were given the opportunity to register to vote. That&#8217;s pretty ironic, considering Dave has made anti-voting statements in the past, and did so even at the taping. I used to be a big believer in the whole &#8220;don&#8217;t vote for, vote against&#8221; school, but that was in the good old days before Bush II. I&#8217;m voting, and you should too. Unless you&#8217;re thinking about voting for Bush?in that case, Dave&#8217;s right! Voting is silly! But I digress&#8230;

      Speaking of Bush, what if George Bush was black? I think the media would probably be asking a lot more tough questions?and so does Dave. At one point in the Black Bush sketch the president accidentally says &#8220;You know why we&#8217;re going in there! Oil&#8230;er&#8230;that is&#8230;&#8221;. Hilarious?I&#8217;m doing it no justice. Off camera (well, at least in between the actual filming) Dave mentioned that he&#8217;d wanted to poke fun at Bush for a while but had been nervous after seeing what happened to the Dixie Chicks. &#8220;Hey, I gotta feed them kids&#8221;, he said. It was nice to hear that kind of honesty from a celebrity. He really puts out an open, regular guy kind of vibe.

      The taping for the best of show was a bit tedious. We&#8217;d already been standing for quite a while at that point, and we didn&#8217;t actually get to see any of the old sketches. They just told us when to clap, and we hooted and hollered until it seemed like it was ok to stop. It was still fun, I mean it is Chapelle Show of course, but my dogs were starting to bark by the time it was over.

      The lil Jon thing has gotten old. I admit it; I&#8217;ve im&#8217;ed Sarah and Blossom &#8220;What? What? What? OK!&#8221; about a million times, but it&#8217;s time to put it to bed. There&#8217;s a sketch of Dave and the real life lil Jon having a deep discussion about life, but it was only good for a few laughs. And even those felt a bit forced. Let&#8217;s kill it already.

      The guy who plays Ashy Larry walked by us several times. I was mortified that Blossom and/or Sarah was going to yell out &#8220;I&#8217;m rich, beeyotch!&#8221; or &#8220;I want to have your baby, Ashy Larry!&#8221;, but nothing turned up. BTW, I totally forgot the actor&#8217;s name, and couldn&#8217;t find it on the internet. Is there a Chapelle&#8217;s Show cast listing somewhere?

      Dave loves the scatological humor. There was a sketch about the first black man to use a white toilet at the tail end (no pun intended) of segragation that didn&#8217;t reallly tickly my funny bone. There were a few humorous moments, but I&#8217;m not a big fan of dookie humour. Dave also mentioned that he has a whole book of original turd jokes that he keeps just for his own amusement. Blossom, on the other hand, loved it. She&#8217;s been IM&#8217;ing me about mud butt since Friday.

    I&#8217;ll post more as it comes to me&#8230;I really should have brought a notepad or something. Oh well, I guess I&#8217;ll never get that dream job at the New York Times&#8230;
