Anyone watch Last Comic Standing? For those who didn't, it's a take off of American Idol, only with comics. Some of them were truly funny considering they only had 3 minutes to make an impression. First show was west coast competition with Buddy Hackett as one of the judges. 10 comics from each coast go to Vegas (Paris casino) and then to "the mansion" where each week, comics get voted off. There's no Simon Cowell, but Buddy Hackett did tell one of the other judges to "shut the fuck up."
Anyway - point is, there were a few people who were laugh out loud funny. I would check out next week if you have the time.

I am sure that there are many babies of the 50s and 60s who were conceived at the drive-in. Haven't you ever necked (why do they call it that? sounds kinda funny) at the drive-in or movie theater? Not even when you were a teenager? I guess I always assumed that it was a harmless rite of passage to have a guy make moves on you at the movie when you are a teenager. Maybe I am just out of touch.

No, it was your word choice. Think incest.

:shock:

I went to see 10 with my parents and grandparents. Now THAT was excruciatingly uncomfortable.

Thoughts?

Isn't sleeping with other people one of the major perks of breaking up with someone? Technically, you could go out and find someone that night and you'd be within your rights.

Practically, all sorts of factors are at play, including but not limited to, how much you care about what the other person (and their friends) think of you, how much you want to sleep with someone else, the duration of the previous relationship, the reasons for the break up (infidelity on the other party's part should give you immediate sleeping with other people rights), whether there's someone actually willing to sleep with you, whether your ex is already moved on to someone else, and whether the word will get back to your ex.

The people in LA seemed much funnier than the people in NY.

I saw the first few and then had to go. Seems like an alright premise. I hope they use a lot of footage from the house, because I prefer those shows to the ones like AI. I do enjoy stand-up though (infinitely better than people covering random pop songs), so I'll probably watch next week...

Definitely. Ralphie, the lesbian, the gay guy and the vietnamese guy were all hysterical. The East coasters were kind of a let down.

They should have given Ralphie two plane tickets. I can't imagine getting stuck next to that dude in coach. He was funny on the show, but I don't think he'd be funny rolling over into my seat space, even on a short flight.

If its a real breakup, you can walk across the street immediately after break up and have sex with the first person you meet willing to have sex with you. You can also do this if its a "Lets break up but still have sex every now and again" type breakup.

You cannot have sex immediately if its a phony "We're broken up now, but we both know we'll be calling each other up to reconcile in the next week" type breakup. Those types of breakups are breakups in name alone. However, if you have sex with someone within the week between the initial phony breakup and the first
telephone call from the supposed ex, and you divulge the sex with the third party to the ex-in-name-only, you will likely convert the phony breakup into a legitimate breakup.*

*If the ex-in-name-only agrees to rekindle despite learning of the third party sex, you should not rekindle with the supposed ex because either the supposed ex was cheating on you all along and that's why he/she isn't upset by your sex with the third party or the supposed ex has no self esteem at all.

Yeah, I always always get stuck next to those guys. Not as bad if you're on the aisle, but I'm always crammed next to the window with the fat flopping over into my seat. The last guy I got stuck next to was so fat that his tray would not clear his stomach, so he had to use my tray for HIS food. Man the neck ache I got from that flight and trying to sit sort of sideways was awful. Of course that's not as bad as the woman on the flight up who took her damn shoes off and kept putting her stinky feet up on the seat in front of her. People raised in barns should not be allowed in airplanes with the general public.

That said, Ralphie is going to either have to sit first class or take 2 seats. He's ginormous.

Which leads me to the question of the day...we all fly a lot don't we? Who's the worst passenger you ever sat next to? For me, the fat guy and the barefoot woman pale in comparison to the geezer who sat next to me on a flight that my parents dragged me on and made me sit in the smoking section (yes way back then) and grandpa not only chain smoked the entire 6 hours, but then he dumped a freakin bloody mary on me.

People who use nail polish and/or remover on airplanes should be banned from flying on commercial airliners for life. The penalty for perfume should be less severe, but still strong enough to be a deterrent -- ten years, perhaps. (The difference is that NOBODY sane finds the smell of nail polish/remover pleasant.)

(As an aside, people who polish their nails in a law school lecture should receive a C- in the course, as should people who answer their ringing cell phones during lectures.)

Oh, and people in general should use deodorant, especially that guy who uses the gym at work at 6:30 on M/W/F. Are you reading this?

The number of people on the subway who seem not to have grasped the basics of personal hygiene is amazing. These people look pretty well off--surely they were raised with running water and know what that mysterious "shower" in their bathroom is for? And could use it? Ever?

It's like they're stuck in ancient times, when people thought that soap and water would kill the sick. Perhaps they think their cloud of stench provides superior protection against germs?

However, people should NOT use deodorant as a substitute for a good shower. Do NOT leave the house (or the gym) if you even think that your body odor could offend others.

And while we're at it, DO NOT BRING FISH TO THE OFFICE AND PUT IT IN THE MICROWAVE. It stenches up the whole place.
