Hey Dan, I have been a fan of yours since your Comedy Central Special (I was psyched to hear the new album), and your delivery style has definitely influenced my sense of humor since then... Your style is very reliant on the jokes themselves, much like Stephen Wright and Mitch Hedberg; how difficult is it to write a "pure" joke versus ones that are reliant on the performance?

I believe they have submitted a proposal for 3 different categories in climbing for the olympics. In competition there is lead climbing (with a rope that you clip in as you go higher), bouldering (shorter with no rope, with more difficult movements), and speed climbing (where you climb a standardized route to the top as fast as you can). Other than speed climbing, time is very loosely capped. Generally, climbing competitions are more about getting to the top than speed.
