I haven't been out west at all. I have a friend in San Diego so maybe one day I'll make the trip

Was he in Delmar, NY?

Given the recent hype for Christian Bale in all his f'ing glory, Joe should really look into parlaying this raised profile, his short stature, and his accent into a remake of Newsies. Arise and seize the day!

Too bad the % of people watching the show was most likely very small. I wonder how many did see it and what the reaction was.

Nobody found this amusing in the context of jockeys being short? Ok, just me. Eh.
