Everytime I've seen him do standup. So, twice.

I saw him do stand up once in LA and he was really, really, really good.

He's a good actor too. Makes me believe he is whichever character he is playing.

You don't know anything, man. That's the funny part.

For some reason, I really want to go home and fuck someone on my piano bench. Who started that whole distraction? I am in the mood for a seated spider position so he can even play me a tune during the deposition.
Apropos of something, this conversation is much better than the Kramer one

At least that would have been believable.

I don't know about that.

Part of this issue is who everyone thought he was. I was thinking, over all the Seinfeld episodes was Kramer ever shitty to anyone? The only time I can remember is the last episode, laughing at the fat guy being robbed. So here's this 100% nice dumbell, and he goes really wrong.

Like if it was Dave Atell, he gets away with 60% of that. (I just picked someone who I bet is tough on hecklers- I don't know how Dave responds).

In a comedy club setting a heckler is asking for shit- and it is often personal shit. A fat guy is going hear about that, a bald guy the same, and a black heckler might hear something based upon some alleged stereotype, ("someone get this guy some fried chicken so he'll shut up for awhile"). so I think a white comic could have said bigotted crap to the guy, even hit him with a few Ns.

But given the length and hate level of it, I don't know what "similar racist things" a black comic could say that could be close to equal, but I bet that hypothetical comic would have trouble selling seats to his next show.

I went there last year. Nothing but penguins on that island. It was great, but I'm warning you they don't share their booze.

ps - RT, you can adopt a penguin....
Yes, plus Punta Tombo in Argentinian Patagonia. Any tips?

To reinforce TM's stereotypes about LA

I will talk about traffic. Traffic that does not even affect my life.

Apparently 5 miles of (southbound, not that it's really all that relevant) the main highway going to the airport, in the area right around the airport, have been closed since about 1 pm and are expected to stay closed until 7 pm.

Sucky.

yes. A young man should not be spending his most productive years like this. You need to get back to the 8-7 grind. Before it's too late.
