Carnival time: The Carnival of Comedy XX

The Carnival is here! (UPDATE: And the links should now be fixed, too! The computer was hungry on the overnight. Apologies to all.)

This is Carnival of Comedy XX (20 for the Roman numeral-impaired). If Roman numerals are good enough for the Super Bore, they're good enough for me. And, besides, the stuff you will see here is far better than just about any Super Bore you can name (especially if you are, as I am, an Eagles fan).
But getting guest presenters for our extravaganza has proven to be a difficult chore.
In keeping with the XX-rated theme, we tried to get Linda Lovelace and Marilyn Chambers to be the presenters for our show this week, but Linda came down with a sore throat and Marilyn couldn't get the Green Door open because of a flood of Ivory Snow.
Pete Rozelle, unfortunately, is deceased, so he couldn't help either. Terrell Owens was too busy not talking to anybody to join us.
At least Drew Carey, Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie sent their regards. Glenn Reynolds, typically, ignored our requests.
But we weren't going to settle for anybody. Cindy Sheehan's agent called and asked if we would provide a script, a month's supply of strong Vidalia onions and 45 cameramen. We, of course, operate here on a low budget without government subsidies, so we declined the offer.
So, the decision was made by a unanimous vote of 1-0 that yours truly, either orr, would double as producer and presenter.
And now, for the first time on record anywhere on the planet, the Carnival of Comedy XX is under way... (Please hold your applause until the first real laugh, which should take about, oh, maybe five or six seconds...)
