I recently had the "fortune" of going to Miami to audition for NBC's Last Comic Standing 6.

While I was completely expecting a fun trip, accompanied by the soul-destroying tolls of reality TV, what I didn't expect, was my housemate, and good friend, Gizmo, to sneak into my bag in the middle of the night, and come along for the ride.

Below is a personal photo-diary maintained by Gizmo for his trip. Sadly, Gizmo likes to talk in third person....

GIZMO DOES MIAMI

Fed up with getting no Mogwi-love in Sydney, and needing a break from his addictive partying lifestyle, Gizmo decided to grab his bags and set out to get some sweet, sweet American poon-tang.

He headed to the airport to say one last goodbye to Nick Sun. Gizmo says goodbye like most normal people, by simply waving and saying "bye", but Nick Sun had a different 'goodbye' in mind, taking it as one last chance to finger-pump Gizzy's crotch, while yelling "That's for making Gremlins 2, fool!"

Gizmo replied, saying "let's just be friends..." before setting off to the International Terminal....

Seeing as the flight to LA is nothing but boring overhead shots of the never-ending Pacific Ocean, Gizmo decided to get stuck into a couple of Fosters. He had to scull the first three because they were so fucking disgusting, but by the fourth, Giz was loving life...

After several attempts to do a Ralph Fiennes impersonation with some of the sweet, sweet flight attendants, he was eventually kicked off in LA to await his connection to Miami...

The American Air flight to Miami was absolutely horrendous, with loud Americans screaming all around him, not to mention the screaming hangover he had from the beers, Gizmo decided to whip out a little bit of a "smokey-smoke" in flight. Things were going sweet as he puff-puff-passed around the cabin, until the pilots got a whiff of it. Next thing you know, Gizmo was in the custody of Miami Vice....

"It's not my fault!" cried Gizmo to the police, "Someone put it in my boogieboard-bag.... then rolled it up.... and put it in my mouth.... and lit it up for me..... and then gave me the munchies....." The cops recognised Gizmo from his leading performances in such movies as Gremlins, and plus I think the one with the moustache had a thing for him. They let him go, and before he knew it, Gizmo was on his way to the hotel, down 4 kilos of weed mind you, but still, a free man....

"Just what I hoped for!" Screamed the elated Gizmo, "A hotel with a big red penis wrapped in a bow!" He went inside and had a look around....

After talking with the Victorias Secret models who were laying by the pool, he convinced them all to come up to his room to "party". They told him they'd be up as soon as they finished their game of " Strip Spin-the-bottle" with each other. Stupidly, Gizmo believed them, so went up to get the party started by himself.

When he realised he'd been had, and that there was no chance that a party of semi-nude Victoria's Secret models would be frequenting his room, Gizmo started hitting the bottle, pretty hard....

Then he decided - 'if you can't get it for free, why not pay for it?', so he went to the "Escorts" section of the local phone directory...

DAY 2

It was time to check out the local Miami comedy scene, and seeing as they were filming an episode of Last Comic Standing at the Miami Improv, Gizmo decided to drop by to say hello to some good friends. When he got there, he spotted British Pop Idol host, Fern Britton, and thought "I am soooo gonna try and fuck that."

Gizmo DIDN'T "fuck" that, because he had a sudden "Oprah" moment, realising that women, no matter how blonde, were people too, and that he needed to respect them.* He then got "hit on" by the Nelson Twins....

And then thought, "Damn! I really shoulda fucked Fern...." Not all was lost though, because he spotted music maestroes Doktor Cocacolamcdonalds and Jim Tavare in the distance and thought, "Hell yeh! Let's jam..."

They played a horrible version of Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy", before realising they needed a guitar player. "What about that guy!" Gizmo screamed....

All four of them rocked out an awesome version of Billy-Ray Cyris' "Achy-Breaky Heart". Afterwards, Stephen K Amos was so impressed with the cover, he ran up to Gizmo like a teen fan of comedian Matt Okine, screaming and crying and begging for a photo. Gizmo agreed.

This sudden popularity got Gizmo hungry, so he decided to bail on the comedy scene, and head to McDonalds.

He ordered 26 $1 Double Cheeseburgers and handed them out to homeless people. Not because he felt like helping the poor, but because he had a bite of one of them and almost threw up because the American food was so oily and disgusting. He then decided to check out the beach, hoping he could score some tail, or at least see a chicky-babe with her boobies out.

He even attempted to drown himself in the hope that Pamela Anderson would come running out to give him mouth-to-mouth, but that didn't work, so he went on the main strip to see if he could have more luck. He bumped into a man with a giant snake wrapped around his shoulders...

Gizmo laughed at the man's shortcomings, dropping his pants and screaming, "That's not a snake.... THIS is a snake!" Gizmo's 'wang' outsized the man's snake by about 35 cm, and 20 cm around. The man was so embarassed, he walked infront of a car.*

Unfortunately, this is where the photos end. Apparently, Gizmo sold his camera for a bag of blow and a free ticket to Paris Hilton's super-bowl party. Fern spent the entire night knocking on Gizmo's door, and the band Gizmo created got picked up by Sony. They now tour the world doing covers of one-hit wonders such as Snow's "Informer" - the one where nobody knows the words of the chorus.

THE END

FOOTNOTES:
* Gizmo didn't actually have an "Oprah" moment, Fern just rejected him...
* The man with the snake actually had a far bigger 'wang' than Gizmo, because Gizmo is a penisless soft fluffy toy...

There are days that go down in history as 'life-changing'.
Many of you will remember exactly where you were, and what you were doing, the moment that you heard about the events of September 11. Some of you will have lived through (and can remember) the first Moon-Landing, and most of you will remember the time I scored 84 off 56 balls against Terrace in the last GPS cricket game I ever played....
Life-changing stuff....
