It's simultaneously making fun of bad stand up comics and the TV show Lost.

Yenny, is there anything you want me to bring for the presentazione tonight? I will make the copies before you get there, so don't worry about that. Snacks? Costumes?

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 20:28 (eighteen years ago) link

I can't think of anything. Is it going to bother the stoods that I got a little bit of burrito on my pants, do you think?

― jenny (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 20:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Nah, you can even sit down if you want! We can arrange the desks in a circle. Or you can spray burrito on their pants and everyone can start on an even playing field.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 20:32 (eighteen years ago) link

I knew my Burrito Super Soaker would come in handy one of these days.

"Good evening everyone! Today we're going to try something a little different..."

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 20:35 (eighteen years ago) link

The combination of the words "presentazione" and "snacks" has made me crave calzones somethin' powerful.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 20:37 (eighteen years ago) link

i can't wait to go home tonight and eat more pretzels.

This is my favorite webcomic about stand-up comedy.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 20:44 (eighteen years ago) link

The fact that you even have a favorite web comic about stand-up comedy is fascinating.

This is my favorite comic about food:

Did anyone ever watch Undeclared? I know it's probably not as good as Freaks and Geeks, but I have a feeling that when I'm done with F&G (Disc 6 arrives in a couple of days) I will be jonesing for more lovable Apatow dramedy.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 20:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Haha.

I need an inexpensive and decent digital camera. I will take the first suggestion given to me.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 20:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Perry Bible Fellowship does that last-panel reveal a lot. Still funny, though!

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 20:53 (eighteen years ago) link

undeclared was great. not as endearing as F&G but that has as much to do with the setting (freshman year of college vs. high school) as anything else.

perry is way under rated in that show.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 20:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Jordan: I swear by these cameras.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 20:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, Kenan recommended the PowerShot to me when I was shopping around last year, and I have been pleased with it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks Kenan! It is as good as done.

This is my favorite comic about peeing

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I just realized I've never listened to that hugely popular Strokes album all the way through until now. It's alright, eh?

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:03 (eighteen years ago) link

I haven't listened to that album in an age. Yeah, it's excellent.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:08 (eighteen years ago) link

I like the second one too. Ain't no shame!

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:09 (eighteen years ago) link

re: powershots. i have an ancient a40 (about 6 years old now) and while it works fine and takes decent photos, the thing is so damn bulky with that one fat end that it's too big to fit in my pocket and therefore gets left home a lot.

re: strokes. i haven't heard that record since it came out. i had the aussie import with the different cover and nyc cops that got dropped from the american release after 9/11. it was a decent album i guess, didn't do much for me and certainly didn't help me understand the hype that surrounded them at the time.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Why would I have heard a Strokes album?

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:12 (eighteen years ago) link

that "laaaaaaaaast night, shheeeeeeeeee said..." song is catchy as hell though.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:14 (eighteen years ago) link

I like that song. They also have occasionally hilarious stage banter. I am particularly fond of the vodka styling product comment.

― jenny (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:19 (eighteen years ago) link

"Last Night" = "American Girl." Therefore = good.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I love stage banter.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:26 (eighteen years ago) link

You should get Bob Pollard's album FULL of nothing but stage banter! I think it's called "Relaxation of the Asshole."

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Maybe I should. I've always meant to get Eddie Harris' stage banter album.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:31 (eighteen years ago) link

van halen from the US Fest = BEST STAGE BANTER EVER!!!

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Explain.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:35 (eighteen years ago) link

extra loaded dlr talking shit about the clash. he's so coked/liquored up that he stops singing in the middle of "ain't talkin' 'bout love" to sling shit at them.

that was the festival where they wouldn't play unless they got $1,000,001 as david bowie was getting an even million. everyone else got peanuts.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Wasn't it supposed to be a benefit concert?

― jenny (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:42 (eighteen years ago) link

That is rad.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:43 (eighteen years ago) link

FYI: I am looking at boots again and I said to my coworker "I think I'll just get a pair of those furry Ugg boots" and she said, "If you ever wore those, I'd kick you."

Just so you all know that I'm not alone in my irrational Ugg hate. Which also reminds me to say to Laurel: Crocs? Does NY let you wear Crocs?

― jenny (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:46 (eighteen years ago) link

yes, but the old joke was "why is it called the US Fest?" "'cause all the money goes to us!".

but yeah, benefit or no they weren't playing unless they got more than anyone on the bill. they said they were fine with taking a dollar more than the scale everyone else was on but when bowie got added at the 11th hour for a mil they said they needed a million one.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Fuck Van Halen

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Just so you all know that I'm not alone in my irrational Ugg hate

I don't know anyone that likes them, frankly.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:49 (eighteen years ago) link

xxpost Um... because they're more of a draw than Bowie? Is that even true?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:50 (eighteen years ago) link

And yet I see them on ex-sorority girls around the office (uggs, not Van Halen. Van Halen rulz.)

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Has anyone messed around with the beta of Windows Vista yet? I'm downloading beta 2 now. Everything I've read says that it's not majorly buggy, and pretty safe to upgrade to.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:51 (eighteen years ago) link

dan martin you must be feverish.

in may of 83 van halen was the biggest draw in the western world i'd imagine.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:54 (eighteen years ago) link

OK, I guess I should have said "fuck overblown rockstar egos". There are some decent VH tunez. I'd be very surprised if any of you are Hagar sympathizers, though.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Plus I just really like the Clash a lot more.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Jenny, NYC totally doesn't love Crocs but I have fucked-up sore feet so I went for them, ostensibly as winter house shoes that I could run to the deli in. Of course, yesterday I walked around much more than I planned to, and my feet are now triangulated with blisters and won't fit into anything but these rubber clogs.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:57 (eighteen years ago) link

dan, i just typed a long, detailed response but it read like a hysterical ilm post. so obviously that got shit canned. but for their genre they were at least as good as the clash.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 22:02 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, that's cool, we don't need any hysterical ILM shit here I don't think. I feel your (and Jordan's) love for VH, although if it's the Sammy years (or whoever the clown that came after him was) then I don't know how I feel about that.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 22:05 (eighteen years ago) link

no, when dlr left the spirit left.

whatever spirit that was.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 22:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Van Halen with DLR was the best rock band on the planet.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 22:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I *heart* Van Halen up through 1984, which I'm about half and half on. My aunt used to have a giant DLR poster in her room that depicted him shirtless and either tied to or just spread-armed up against a chain-link fence.

xpost - oh, Kenan, you're just looking for a fight with a statement like that.
