Now tagless for your comfort.

Dave Chappelle is who he pretends to be in his default standup image.

I believe that. I loved his interview on Inside the Actor's Studio. I think he's smart and funny. His parents are both professors, aren't they? I know his dad taught at Antioch.

I don't watch Mencia and really only know what I see on the endless ads on Comedy Central.

Of course, my shtick may be overstating the extent to which I don't fit with the local hooples.

Heh. That or wicked smart commentary on life, death and crime.

Dave's Inside The Actor's studio was hilarious. I think he was just as confused as I was that he was asked to do it. It is one of my favorite episodes by far.

Always Anti-fascist!

I told you, a tailor and dark glasses, and I'm Munch on Estrogen. God, Olbermann killed me with that police report thing..."wide stance "is going to be Minneapolis P.D's joke of the year.

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

I don't recall Chappelle's act being about growing up poor, but I may be misremembering. Whether or not Mencia is really Mexican is just a sidenote to his joke stealing.

Actually, Munch on Estrogen is kind of a horrifying thought, so don't take that literally.

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

I don't recall Chappelle's act being about growing up poor, but I may be misremembering.

He's much more "I was looking at men/women/black folk/white folk and noticed..." Less about him, and not even presented from a POV more tightly refined than Black American Male.

Okay. Gotta go see if I can fall asleep. First attempt at doing this drug free in over a week.
