Id literally rather go to the DMV than get my haircut. (Why dont they cut your hair AT the DMV, let's get some shit done) Waba Grill is deceptively(ish) unhealthy. It's time for federal intervention into Chipotle. (Im generally a "small government" man, but this has gone too far.) A singles soiree with me and Gus 1. A misbegotten outing to see The …

Predator 6, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. I was one of the 11 people that saw Furiosa this weekend, and I give my thoughts on it. I went to the Comedy Store a couple times, and witnessed Vincent Falcone have one of the amazing comedy set turnarounds I've ever seen. I had my car out for 6 hours, and you would think I had just driven across the fuc…

Coppola reaches his final form: Brando. When you cast someone who's supposed to be the younger version of them in a prequel, a good idea is to cast someone who looks absolutely nothing like them. Taxi Driver 2. Colin Quinn should moderate the presidential debate. Film nerd singles meet up. (It was about as successful as you'd imagine) Someone went …

If I thinks it, I jinx it. Beetlejuice 2 trailer just dropped, and so did your expectations. Caf-fiend. When ISIS claimed the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, it was "mysterious." But when they claimed the Russian opera shooting this week, it was unquestionably accepted. The Chimneysweep closed. The Door Guy show at the Comedy Store, part 2. Dr Rob Banks s…

I thought I'd said everything I had to say about the ride home last episode, but one more pleasant surprise awaited me: 65mph winds, for 30 miles! Yay! People that don't reset clocks after a time change deserve a Sisyphus-esque fate, for all eternity. (Wait til I get into dishwasher etiquette) The robber and the laundromat screamer. (That sounds li…

Un-Hinge'd. I don't know what's more dreadful, a bad date, or a bad band practice session. Shitbit. If you're anything more than a 3rd car going through a yellow to red light, a Dr Strange portal to hell should open underneath and suck all proceeding cars into hell. Formica. Don't get each other anything for Christmas this year, we're fucked. Gelso…

Episode 422, "The Harkening." I harken back to Rob telling me "everyone gets afraid, dummy." (It's Not Just You, Murray!) I have to watch out for "Drum fever." I harken back to when I said I thought The Marvels was gonna bomb, and it did. I harken back to the motion picture Lethal Weapon 2, and discover they go to my Subway in it! I harken back to …

It's weird that a president has never really had a drinking scandal in our entire lifetime, or even seem to appear drunk in the public view. The bar show at the (not so) Good Nite. I saw Say Anything at the Regent. It was sweet Eric's birthday Friday. Ralph's deli department should have been part of Dante's Inferno. Observations (and criticisms!) a…

I got my Harley back after 3 months...or did I? Why is it so hard to get my lunch meat cut thick/the way I want it. I'd have a better chance at alchemy than getting lunch meat cut to my specs. I saw Converge with Bokes for the first time in over 20yrs; it went about as well as everything else did this fuckin' weekend.…

More like the Ice PICK House! LOL!! Fuck me for missing the Sparta tour. Most people are predictable, unfunny bores. Steak & a cigar Friday, like a real man. (Contrary to what my gym teacher thought of me) Open mics have been brutal lately, they feel more like a comedy study hall. More like Matt Rife-with-boring-personality. (See what I did there?)…
  continue reading
 
"Research," and night vision goggles that accidentally let you see into other dimensions, and shit. HBO has ads now (gtfoh), but I watched that Telemarketer documetnary and had some thoughts about it. The Opportunist pod-khaast. Titties & totalitarianism. I'd rather juggle scorpions than have to try to find a pair of size 12 sneakers in this city, …

Strawberry Bobo's update. Harley update. Rushing or dragging at the mics. The Sound Of Freedom, and The Feeling Of Obligation. 2nd job at Amazon, if they'd stop jerking me around.
