"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Someone so should have piped up with "the one they found in that cooler on the boat in Dawn of the Dead had clearly been out there for weeks or months, but was still capable of moving!"

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Heh. All I heard was something about decapitated heads, but yeah, none of us reacted at all until he spoke directly to us.

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

"Mmm. Decapitated heads are hot. Can I blow you while you talk about decomposition? Or better yet--could you stay really REALLY still?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, instead of my Saturday night plans of Luther and doing my nails, my cousin brought me to a comedy show! Because her husband is sick and couldn't go. Holy crap, I laughed really really hard. And probably at stuff that wouldn't have made me laugh so much on TV or whatever. Brian Regan, I think?

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

Yeah, the threshold and vibe is totally different in a club.

But that's why it's fun to go to a comedy club!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I remember him from ages ago. As I recall, he was pretty funny on tv. Wasn't he the one who did the i before e bit?

Also, I have a sharp pain under my ring finger nail making it difficult to type (It really hurts when that finger hits the key). Any idea what that's about?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

completely outraged by the concept and declared the whole thing disgusting. Though she hadn't read it

I am shocked. Shocked!

That seems possible!

This was actually in a theater, which was the one downside -- the rows were so tight I was afraid my knees were going to fall out of my legs.

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

FWIW, he's amazing. Weirdly he's a super-successful touring comedian, a comedian's comedian, but not well-known or beloved among comedy nerds. He works clean and can do fifteen amazing minutes on something you wouldn't think there's life left in-- like reading. Or water. Ask any working standup and he's a god.
