AST! HELP! Ridiculous favor I never thought I'd have to ask...

[HeyItsLiam]

I have a good, really close friend. He was on a comedy special on Showtime, and he was hoping to use his set to add to his reel as he goes out for work.

But the production company never sent him a copy of the special, and they sent so few copies to stores and Amazon, that he never even had the chance to buy it legally.

And he doesn't even have Showtime, so he couldn't digitally record the thing himself. And it's not on any of the bittorrent sites, not even myspleen which has everything comedy.

And he would really really like a copy of his set for himself, and also his dear sainted mother who would love to be able to watch it any time she wanted to.

All that being said, by coincidence, I recently appeared on a Showtime special called 'Caroline Rhea & Friends.' pretty ridiculous how that works out. Anyone see it/record it/own a copy? I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks all.

So just to be clear, you're looking for "Caroline Rhea & Friends"?

Searched my TiVo for Caroline Rhea and the only thing scheduled is a 2007 half-hour stand-up special on LOGO titled "CAROLINE RHEA". I assume it's just her doing stand-up. Any chance it's what you're after?

Naw, "Caroline Rhea & Friends" was a special that aired on Showtime in March.

I've been trying to use this "Caroline Rhea Time Machine" for years and I finally have a reason.

This feels like a riddle.

Or just a brag about having a good, really close friend.

This feels like a riddle.

I probably re-read it five times trying to figure it out. I still don't understand it all, but I know that on rainy days he has an umbrella so he can reach the top button. That's all I've got so far.

What's confusing about it? Just read this part:

[pixel revolt]

Maybe he was parodying the "One of my friends...but I'm really talking about me" cliche and just being silly?

Nah! He is probably just bad at the internet. We should say something and not let him think he can get away with it.

I just positive-voted you, but know that it's only because I can no longer negative it.
