I've been totally aping Cintra Wilson for years. But I'm nothing so even Cintra wouldn't care. I doubt that anything I write is ever "Like whoa...stone tablet" type original. But, to my knowledge I never took anything.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Again, being influenced by somebody's style isn't the same thing as outright theft.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I want someone to be influenced by MY style!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So it's clear Eddie Izzard is the one true comedian.
Unless of course there's some funny, Un-USian, transvestite somewhere watching HBO and going "Executive Transvestite? Hey, wait a minute...."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I guess now that Mitch Hedberg is dead...that guy had a killer style, and his jokes are still funny written down. That is ridiculously rare. He was the best standup of his generation. God, what a loss.

It isn't. But when I sit down to write, I'm often disappointed by how little of the style I(very occasionally) get praise for is really me doing my thing. Which is only tangentially related to the comic conversation, I realize. But someday if anything comes of it, I hope I'd give the props where they are due.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

True, but god, I loved his delivery. His escalator bit will start running through my head every once in a while.

It's still only 12F out there. CURSES.
Oh well. I guess I can't let Dana go outside while we wait for our other friend to arrive, because she may just decide to take another flight back to Texas.

I can't believe I don't know this. I thought I knew a lot about stand-up.
