chanson 9697 Posted January 30, 2015 Okay, I'm off to drink a beer and poke a hippo with a sharp stick. If I die, you can divvy up my likes between you. No, wait, donate them to Smile Train! Yeah, but you're less likely to find a hippo to poke. Now, poke a mosquito and I'm in. For safety reasons. Share this post Link to post

mwn 5470 Posted January 30, 2015 If I die, you can divvy up my likes between you. No, wait, donate them to Smile Train! No thanks, I already get enough mail with pictures of children with cleft palates (from other unnamed sources). I don't need some charity coming in and throwing off the vibe. 3 Share this post Link to post
marshall mellow 1671 Posted January 30, 2015 Legitimately want to drive down to LA for that live show... Any of the "Best Friend Crew" (which is another nickname I just made up for the formerly known "Three Musketeers") would come along?? It's a Tuesday night, so it'd require taking two days off work. yes, you should all do this Crew. Don't forget to pack your Scoop Troop Notebooks! 2 Share this post Link to post

RanRan 3242 Posted January 30, 2015 we should all move to Wisconsin, quit drinking beer Make up your mind. Can't do both. I spent my evening teaching teens about grammar and feel confident in saying that grammar is NOT fun. 2 Share this post Link to post

Spunky Foonerism 8561 Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah, but you're less likely to find a hippo to poke. Now, poke a mosquito and I'm in. For safety reasons. I have poked literally hundreds, if not thousands of mosquitoes. With insect pins. My masters thesis research was on mosquitoes, and man did I poke them, but they poked me way more. Spunks, didn't Hayes and Sean just have a feminist on the show? That's no way to refer to a lady. If I recall correctly, they scrupulously did not take sides on feminism, so I think I'm in the clear.

Bozos of Basketball 3689 Posted January 30, 2015 Guys! I got to see comedy tonight! Four standup guys. Us east coasters get to lauff too. I used to be best work friends with the guy who hosted, that's how I heard about it since it was in Marlborough, MA which is named well 'cause it's definitely rough and looks like everyone who lives there smokes cigarettes. So apparently hosting means being unable to speak into the mic without it screaming feedback noises back at everyone and bombing real bad and not landing any jokes. My boy killed it at hosting. The main acts were great too. I've seen Danny Bulger before he's incredible and these guys Joe List and Mark Normand were very funny. Anyone here in the east should see these guys, including my buddy Jimmy Whitman who was actually very funny and had great jokes but these dumb idiots in Marlboro were so dumb and the idiots didn't get it. Mic was tough to get over though I will give them that. 7 Share this post Link to post

Mine is TV's Doctor Fraiser Crane and "the boss", Kelsy Grammer. But what about the other meaning, the rules on which we build our language? - Teach Hochstatler. Share this post Link to post
Andrew 4646 Posted January 30, 2015 All this stand up talk reminds me of the time I did stand up. I was in New York back in the early '90s and found myself in a comedy club. There was supposed to be this big star there doing jokes or whatever but he never showed up, so the owner of the club came up to me and asked if I wanted to take his place. I warned him that I had never done jokes before but he said I was so good-looking and cool that he was sure I could do it. Anyway, I got up and improvised a totally rando observ that slayed. Then I followed up with a one-two gut punch of bazonko killer funnies, and one guy died of laughing too much. Then there was a guy at the side of the stage and he was on the phone saying "Chris! Chris, it's Marvin. Your cousin, Marvin Rock. You know that new sound you're looking for? Well, listen to this!". They wanted me to sign for Deaf Jam or something but I didn't want to because comedy isn't art. 12 Share this post Link to post

But what about the other meaning, the rules on which we build our language? - Teach Hochstatler. My favorite is how when you write "not only" you are always supposed to follow it up wif "but also." Not only is it a very solid grammar, but also it is the name of a great British sketch comedy show starring Fry and Laurie. Share this post Link to post

Casaba 5942 Posted January 30, 2015 greggy, I'm about to give you the best advice that anyone has ever given you: leave your family, move to LA, and do comedy full time. Just kidding. Keep your family (especially those kids, they are comedy gold). You are super funny. I am so glad I joined facebook mostly because of your regular joke output. 7 Share this post Link to post
