About Me
- Name: Dave
- Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States
Do you know me? Read one of my stories. Will you know me then? I have blue eyes, but sometimes they are green. Does this help? I am older than The Electric Company but younger than Sesame Street. Have you figured it out yet?

Dane Cook is awesome in a really freak-out aggressive way. I wouldn't have heard him of either, but this girl I was dating about five years ago was All About him.
I find that I don't like him as a comedian nearly as much as I like him as a probably-coked-up ball of total freakout energy. It's just a good thing, but I'm sure a lot of people find it annoying.
He's one of a few comedians that literally send me into paroxysms, where I can't breathe because I'm laughing so hard and tears are streaming down my face.
