I have to submit a bio for this page about NY's Funniest Reporter. Should I turn in a standard or ridiculous one? Incidentally, I think those should be condom and/or light bulb sizes.
I vote standard bio.... if you submit a funny bio, you will set too high an expectation that you will be super funny. Set the bar low, and blow them out of the water with your witty self.

P.S. I don't know if this will help or hinder you, but I picture you as an anecdotal type comic. I can imagine you telling stories about your parents, Tobey, and your life experiences in a funny way. Kinda like Ray Romano.
What else do people need to know? I suppose you could add a little more about your background. I'd make it mostly serious but add something ridiculous, like "won gold medal for short track speed skating at the 1994 Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer, Norway. Or maybe not..."
Hey, when you see Ellis Henican at the event, can you poke him in the eye for me? Not really hard or anything - just enough to get his attention. I like Ellis, but sometimes he just says stupid things. And for that he deserves an eye poke.
"I don't think I can last it any longer, my body needs new blogging immediatly...."

I see you submitted your bio to the Funniest Reporter site. Nicely done! I agree with "slightly devilish" - you do have a little of the devil in you. I mean that in a good way of course.
Pretty cloudy and rainy here today. I think it's the edge of Hurricane Kyle, which has been moving up the coast. Yesterday Maine issued their first hurricane watch in 17 years.
The weather is wet and dreary here in Maine, Joe. Coastal Hancock county (where I reside) is due to get hit this evening. We've already had a bunch of rain last night and today.
It should be a busy and wet night. I'm a Fire Fighter and I suspect this evening will be full of dealing with flooded basements, trees over the roads and downed power lines. Monday should be full of streams flooding and running over the roads.
I am a vivacious person with effervescent thoughts and bubbly feelings, which I used to save for my diary and therapist before realizing I could share them with a million strangers, unless of course we've met before in which case remember that time we were at that place and then I did that thing? Sorry about that... Also I'm a writer, pop culture analyst/expert and regular TV guest. Care to be impressed by my credentials? Well then, from 2005—2008 I did Best Bets with Alison Rosen, a segment on WNBC's Weekend Today in New York show. I've appeared on Montel, Chelsea Lately, Hannity & Colmes, Fox & Friends and a bunch more and I'm a regular commentator on Fox News Channel's Red Eye. I wrote for the Los Angeles Times when I was 18. I'm a former Time Out New York editor. I'm a contributing editor for Page Six Magazine. I've written for a zillion publications including Rolling Stone, Maxim, Spin, People, Village Voice, New York Press, Nerve, Seventeen, Vibe, Seattle Weekly, Minneapolis City Pages, OC Weekly and Page Six Magazine. I used to play guitar in a punk band. I have naturally black hair. I won NY's Funniest Reporter competition.

Here's the bio...
Alison Rosen: Gorgeous, Funny, Smart.

Really they put Ellis on this list? Besides what was written for him on Sealab he is a little too much of a tight ass some times.
You should be you Alison. Write out your bio in train of thought, let it be comical so they get a bit of the real you.
Is this stand-up going to be video taped and posted up online?
Wait a minute! You're a reporter? Go with the ridiculous one!

Hope you're enjoying the weekend, Miss R!

Where are you Joe, Vermont or New Hampshire?
The storm was a complete dud.
