To the extent that robustpuppy is not already taking it easy, I am guessing that this post is unlikely to succeed in getting her to desired state of mind.

Maybe because the hello kitty avatar is just so fucking cute?

The First Vietnamese War sounds like it could have been the B-side to I had Too much To Dream Last Night. the Prunes would still be a 1- hit wonder.

Thanks -- I may to pick that CD up. (AoN, do you think that maybe a young sebby was attacked by a seven sisters student wielding an acoustic guitar? *And* maybe a trumpet in the hands of Chick Corea, Chuck Mangione, or Maynard Ferguson)?

I hear that, brother. Loud and clear. There was a time when you would walk into the diner, ask for a cup of coffee, hand the waitress a dollar, and still get enough change back to get the juke box cranking Buddy Holly until you finished the cup AND the free refill. Nowadays, you can't just get a coffee. You have to learn a whole new language and then shout your half-minute order at some iPod-blasting kid with a face tattoo and a split penis who just rolled in from the rave and is probably still hallucinating on the designer drugs his buddy made with a recipe downloaded from screwtheman.com. I mean, seriously. Soy milk? Who puts soy milk in coffee? I'll tell you who. Communists. Communists and fags.

Thank God for David Milch and Deadwood, a profane oasis in an otherwise vast wasteland.

I'd been watching TV recently and wondered, "Why are these shows on? Are people really crying out for reruns of Becker?"

There's just nothing worth watching except Deadwood, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report. Even the "lost" episodes of Chappelle's Show are a disappointment. I've read the articles and seen the interviews, and I'm not satisfied with his reasons for leaving the show. Granted, I'm not his target audience, or maybe I am and Dave is uncomfortable with that.
This article is almost interesting. But much like many of the articles written on this "new" Dave Chappelle, it's not built on anything.

Chappelle did say that he was uncomfortable with how hard a white employee on the set was laughing at one of his sketches and how that made him uneasy. But when asked why he left by everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Anderson Cooper, he's said many things. His answers range from "the pressure to produce because of the money" to the fact that "everyone would say the third season wasn't as good as the first two," to his "disappointment in his good friend and Chappelle Show co-creator," who didn't try to talk to him or find out what was going on when he skipped town, and instead gave interviews about the possibility of Chappelle losing his mind.

The article picks one of what must have been numerous reasons for him quitting and extrapolates and projects based on other small and seemingly supporting clues in Chappelle's work to come to some kind of grand racial conclusion. I think the author had a point that what was funny between him, his friend (and Chappelle Show producer, whom the author fails to mention is very white) and the black community was suddenly what was on the lips of every white person in the country. And that must have had some effect on Chappelle. Hearing white people go on and on about the Niggars would be strange, for sure, if you were the source. But I think he overstates his argument simply because there isn't enough evidence that it was or could be the main reason behind why he gave the show up.

I think he thought the show was changing him and/or changing how people treated him. He told Anderson Cooper that after he signed that contract everyone stepped back from him and said, "Well, what are you going to do with this business now?" It was no longer an intimate, team-oriented venture. I don't think he was having fun anymore and the racial aspect is only a part of that, in my opinion.

Also, some of the crap he uses to show how Chappelle's audience, as well as that of certain conscious hip hop artists, is more popular with whites is just plain silly. The Roots, Common, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Dead Prez, Mos Def, Talib Kweli may be popular among certain groups of white people, but they make music for black people, or better yet, people like themselves. If white people like it, cool. But I don't think any one of them is truly struggling with that. (Although, to be sure, there are plenty of throwback type artists who would love more support in the black community. He just didn't name them.) 50 Cent pretends to do the same, but we all know he is promoting an image and writing songs for mass market, which means he is targeting Bilmore's kids.

Also, the author's point about where the concert was held, seems to tie into this white encroachment on "blackness," but it's really just stupid. It's like he needed an analogy to make his piece seem more substantial, so he threw that one in because he wanted to say he lived in Brooklyn.

I don't drink coffee anymore. Just tea, and only herbal or decaf. That is the reason for my sunny disposition.

(Notorious cranksters like, oh, I don't know, PLF, might want to take a cue from me).

I don't drink coffee. Or tea. Or colas. I do have the occasional Red Bull, but only before spin classes, soccer games, and mountain bike races. Or at the club with a tasty splash of Stoli. A few Stoli Red Bulls and a couple or three hits of the chronic will give me a sunny disposition, too, but it is a blurry, post-apocalyptic sun covered in angry solar flares and coronal mass ejections.

Which part of your morning transactions with the Starbucks kid allows you to be privy to the split status of his penis?

(1) You know, it makes me feel bad when you mock me like that. You should try to think a little bit about how your words can hurt others before you speak.

(2) The scary thing is that this is pretty close what I was actually thinking (except that I would have said "nancy boys" instead of "fags").

Ditto. Except I think I can do without the "anymore" at the end of the first sentence. My internet girlfriend and I are melding into the same Betsey Johnson-wearing, tea sipping, (good) toro eating person. Though I haven't started punching people in the face yet as part of my exercise regimen. Maybe I'll try that tonight with Mr. Man.

beer has changed in the same way. like in college we drank:

1)Bass
2)Blue
3)Stroh's
4)Milwaukee's Best
5)Drewrey's
6)Buckhorn
7)Falstaff

in that order, and based upon available funds- never needed to make hard choices-
now I can't imagine picking out beer to drink. My tiny corner market must have 100 options even w/o counting imports.

The part where I blow him as he pours a triple shot of espresso down his naked stomach. It's called the No Water Americano Extra Froth.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Just when I thought I was out, you fuckers pull me back in.

I have been called out of retirement by my good friend and comrade Patentpara.

Once and for all, she is not me, and I am not here. I am not even a chick. Or a paralegal. Or possessed of intellectual property. And she's not the inverse...or converse....or reverse. Whatever.

As further evidence, please find below, a redacted googletalk correspondence I am currently having with her, even as I type this, i.e. multi-tasking:
