“There are only two rules,” Masada said Tuesday. “You have to continuously tell jokes that are funny and you can’t leave the stage, even to go to the bathroom.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dave Chappelle could be holding Hollywood’s comedy endurance record if he’d only been able to hold something else. The comic, who famously walked away from a $50 million deal four years ago to continue his Comedy Central TV show, was on stage at the Laugh Factory on Sunday, seemingly on his way to setting the club’s endurance record for continuous standup comedy. But then, five hours into his routine, he walked away to go to the bathroom and was disqualified, said club owner Jamie Masada. The audience wasn’t happy, Masada said, but he insisted that rules are rules where endurance comedy is concerned. “There are only two rules,” Masada said Tuesday. “You have to continuously tell jokes that are funny and you can’t leave the stage, even to go to the bathroom.” The result: the seven-hour, 34-minute marathon performance that Dane Cook turned in last year stands as the club’s record. The late Richard Pryor set the original record, two hours and 41 minutes, in 1980. Cook broke it 27 years later with a three-hour, 50-minute set. Chappelle raised the bar to six hours, seven minutes before Cook took the record back last year.

What do prison consultants do?
They help get you into the best prison and orient you on its rules and customs. Going to prison is a little bit like heading off to college. The first step is finding an institution that’s right for you. Then there’s a lot of anxiety: Who will be your roommate? Where is the library? What time does the dining hall close? How do you make a good impression with the people in charge? Will you make friends? A prison consultant addresses these concerns.

The Cardinals will announce at a Monday morning press conference Tony La Russa’s decision to return for a 15th season as manager. Today’s run-up, however, features mounting evidence that La Russa’s return after a 2-week deliberation will be dwarfed by former Redbirds first baseman Mark McGwire’s return from a self-imposed 8-year exile to become the team’s hitting coach.

The Belleville News-Democrat reported –
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols on Wednesday morning underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow with debridement of bone spurs and removal of bone chips. During the procedure, doctors determined that Pujols did not require ligament reconstruction. The arthroscopic procedure was not related to the previous nerve transposition surgery that Pujols underwent last year.
