Now I Regret Not Going to Herb Allen's Sun Valley Conference
I think I made the wrong decision. I could have flown up a doctor to be with me (I mean, isn't Dick Parsons a doctor?).
I understand last night was Comedy Nite at the Sun Valley Conference. I can't believe I missed Sergey Brin and Larry Page doing the "Who's On First?" routine. That must of really cut up the room. Those guys were way less funny before they were billionaires. I remember them doing the same routine when they were pitching a stupid idea to Manka Bros. called "Google" that we could have had in 1997 for $250 dollars. That was a mistake. I could have countered with $150 and they probably would have taken it. Hell, they probably would have taken a sandwich at that point in their lives. Oh, well...
Also, I heard that as a tribute to George Carlin, Herb Allen himself performed the "7 Words You Can Never Say On Television" routine. That would have been worth it's weight in gold to see that.
The only flop of the evening, I heard, was Rupert Murdoch performing Steve Martin's "Let's Get Small" bit. It sounds pretty hysterical to me - but I wasn't there.
Oh, well, there's always next year. Damn that Steve Jobs and his little monster of a dog Sasha for putting me in this position.

About Khan Manka, Jr.
Khan Manka, Jr. assumed the title of Chairman of the Board of Manka Bros. Studios - The World's Largest Media Company - following his father Harry Manka's death in 1976. Before that he was the member of several Southern California rock bands.
A video of those performances would be unbelievable. We could put that on MBS this fall as a special. Corporate Comics.

What? They have comedy nite? These people just because they get a little success and they think they can walk on water. Or even harder, do comedy. What a freaking world!
Because they're not funny that's what makes them funny.
Oh, to have been a fly on that wall!
