I’m just going to come right out and say it: Tina Fey does nothing for me comically or otherwise.

She’s just the female version of every sarcastic alpha–asshole I’ve ever met.

The thing about sarcastic alpha–assholes is, they don’t understand that their brand of punching-down is only funny to them. The fact that they’re putting down everyone in the room is lost on them because they think insulting everyone makes everyone else laugh. it doesn’t.

Now Amy…

The best comic on regular teevee right now is Sam Bee.

“You don’t get to regulate what people wear to work … If I get distracted wondering whether that yellow stain around your mouth is whiskers or just the lingering impression of a glory hole, that’s my problem not yours.”

Not the best woman comic. The best comic full stop.

I disagree on the Tina hate. But Amy > Tina without question.

Meh…it has to do with a friend. My insanely hot Australian, narcissistic, increasingly anti-semitic friend whom I’ve mentioned a time or two recently. We are most currently on an indefinite “friendship hiatus”. Mostly due to all of the above qualities of hers.
But what brought it to a head was last summer she insisted that I tell her that I love her or she would never speak to me again.
comment image

The song you linked had some significance between the two of us over the years in our little “is it friendship or more?” dance.

We’ve exchanged minimal pleasantries since then, most recently about two weeks ago. She’s still just as insane and I’m hoping to never have contact again. But just like herpes, she’ll pop up again in a few months.

Okay, so I’ve had a chance to unwind a bit and am a little more coherent. The bullet points of the trip:

  • Purpose of travel was for my dad’s wedding in Pensacola.
  • Wedding was great. Major props to the DJ for keeping the dance floor full, considering there were maybe 5 people of age 20-40 in attendance.
  • Spent some nice time with my family. Retirement seems to suit my father very well, which comes as no surprise to me.
  • Dollar/Thrifty car rental can get fucked.
  • We spent a night in New Orleans. I am too old to enjoy Bourbon Street.
  • But I’m not too old to enjoy the food. Lunch at Commander’s Palace was goddamned incredible.
  • The screaming children on our flight back were unbearable, and fuck their stupid inconsiderate parents who sat the whole family up front – among all the rest of us – on a mostly empty flight.
  • It is nice to see my pets again.

    I wonder how to define “air guitar classic”. Is it a blistering solo? Is it an unforgettable riff? Is it porn where you know it when you hear it?

    Have you ever had a friend who played a CD a million times as you drove to get high, but because of that you never know track names. I have that problem on many artists. I know the band names but the tracks I love tend to not always be the hits

    One thing I noticed in the 90s, track 3 on almost every CD was fucking amazing. The sheer number of times track 3 was the biggest hit was bizarrely high.

    I missed all but the very beginnings of the building of this original playlist last week.
    Looking at the tracks, it’s interesting to me that even with a theme like “Air Guitar”, what an eclectic and diverse bunch of dicks we really are.
    Lou Rawls? Not what most folks would consider air guitar material, but I mean who hasn’t sung that into a non-existent mic at one time or another?
    Well done, peepuhl.
