"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But you guys have let me down in understanding the magnitude of the funny.

tsk, tsk. We've made it abundantly clear that Jon Stewart is The Man. All other media figures? Not The Man. All other funny people? Mostly not as funny.

I have to say the supporting cast for TDS, after Colbert, does very little for me. I like Rob Cordry in small doses. Samantha Bee in smaller doses. Rob Wilfong not at all. Ed Helms...only a tiny bit. But Colbert is good.

If I only had a brain...

Cordry gives my fast-forward button much of its exercise.

Colbert, however, is always funny, and amazingly handsome.

Trust my rage

We've made it abundantly clear that Jon Stewart is The Man.

Well, I'm downloading as we speak so I guess I finally get it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

tsk, tsk.

How do you pronounce that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Have I heard this theory?

Maybe, but I'm all revved up. So I'll go again, short form.

  • Superman -- born Super. Outsider, but outsider from above, not below.
  • Spiderman -- outside from below, made Super, still loser in the eyes of the world.
  • Batman -- psychopath self-made Super

I think that who you identify with (if you identify easily -- Wolverine is also a perfectly viable answer to "Which one of Superman, Batman, and Spiderman do you prefer?" when paired with a quizzical look) is very interesting. I've found kravvers don't even breathe before claiming Batman.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

How do you pronounce that?

If I asked you how you pronounced "tsk," what would you tell me?

> Brussel sprouts do not taste like ass OR like little cabbages.

Brussel sprouts are little cabbages.

And scallions are the tops of green onions. Does not make them taste a lot like mature onions. Same thing with shrimp/prawns. When it comes to foodstuff size matters. Hey, still a buffista. I can bring any subject back to porn.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Huh. I identify with Spidey. What does that mean about me?

Heh. I neither always tell the truth nor always lie. So if I answered that it wouldn't help you.

You're a big old loser?

I kid.

Or, as my completely statistically invalid research shows, more likely to be an outsider, and not by design (though there's no reason not to be content with it).

Same thing with shrimp/prawns

You don't think shrimps and prawns taste similar? What tastes more like a prawn than a shrimp? Or vice versa?
