A couple of sports headlines caught my attention this week because I knew the names, but I knew the names as they belonged to completely different people.
First there was news that Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson completed a 25-day hold out. I know Larry Johnson, but I knew him as a basketball player who starred for the Charlotte Hornets. He and Alonzo Mourning were awesome for that squad.
Earlier today I read about Eddie Griffin, who played five seasons in the NBA. He died last week when the sports-utility vehicle he was driving collided with a moving train in Houston. I know Eddie Griffin, but I know him as the comedian who starred in Deuce Bigalow. That Eddie Griffin, I believe, is still with us, which is good, because the world needs laughter.
In related news, there is a Wikipedia page for Mike Boon, but he's a stand-up comedian from New Zealand and definitely not this Mike Boon. I wonder if he knows those dudes from Flight of the Conchords...
Were you googling yourself again??? I found out that I am an editor of a very interesting magazine called Brain Child. I actually ended up subscribing to it. It's fascinating and pleased that it just so happens to have my name on it.
YOushould find out if this Boon character is actually funny.
