Hate Pit Continued

[Phantom Hugger]

I am generally not a malicious person, but I want to see these people fall...right into the Hate Pit.

Up comes a cloud of broken monocles and military contracts.

Somehow it being suspended by a giant crane makes it a little trashy. Where's the anti gravity dining set.


Plus...What if someone has to be excused? What happens when the conversation drys up? Panic Attack? I hope it rains and a pigeon flops onto your plate

Ron Paul supporters (who would otherwise be liberals)

Um, what? Most Libertarians (and thats Libertarian with a capital L) are closet Republicans, not liberals.

Not necessarily true - there's a lot of overlap when you start talking about individual Liberty (with a capital L).

Most importantly, where would you pee?

Started downloading The Moth podcast. One of the podcasts is a story by this guy Dan Kennedy. It's so painfully bad. T.I.-level bad. It chronicles him going from 'I'm never gonna sell out' guy to guy who works at a record label with every lame cliche you can imagine with that.

Terrible stuff. But I was curious why this terrible guy was on the podcast and looked him up on amazon and he just wrote this book about his job at Atlantic Records which he had for about a year and a half. Which puts him squarely in a division of my hate pit for all these post-TAL, McSweeney's white dudes who do nothing but write self-aware memoirs. Every life experience is immediately put into a 'humorous' narrative about how life isn't like the movies. It's like, real and stuff and there is feelings. How sometimes when you stop being a slacker, there is lots of real stuff going on out there.

So into that hate pit Dan Kennedy and expect to a have a lot your bretheren joining you.

I drink Diet Coke with LIME in the morning. Every morning. Mmmmmmm.

Don't hate!

Sometimes circumstances make drinking soda in the morning necessary, i.e., when I don't have any coffee left at home, I need caffeine, and my two options for getting said caffeine are either Dunkin Donuts or a convenience store that (also) has garbage coffee. Dunkin Donuts is garbage, so onvenience store soda wins. Coke (or a Red Bull, which is basically vitamin-laden soda) is pure quick fix. So hate me. I can take it.

As a follow up, here's my campus newspaper's report from last night's Saget performance.

Saget joked about his penis, penises in the audience and playing Danny Tanner on "Full House" during his stand-up comedy show, which was free to the public and funded by Student Government Productions and Accent, SG speaker's bureau.

thanks samir. 

"He said he wished he could've hosted "America's Funniest Home Videos" in the style of his stand-up.

"That would've been eight years of insanity," he said over the crowd clapping. "People sent so much porn into that s---, and I have it. I have it all."

... They would pee onto the "little people" down below. The snobs peeing on the slobs ... which is what they're doing to us every day, brothers and sisters! Let's  start a REVOLUTION!! We can start by smuggling a bomb into that pot of Lobsters those fatsos are gorging on. Set the timer to go off when they're suspended high above the city. BOOM! It'll be like the fourth of July! There will be much rejoicing in the streets below ...

I've provided a diagram of my diabolical plan.

Till recently, lobstah was poor folks' food 'round heah, deah.  Even now, I suspect many a lobsterman's (I don't know of any lobsterwomen) family probably regularly dines on culls.  I know people who can't stand the taste of lobster, so strongly does it remind them of the repetitive fare of their youth.

Take that, snobs.

a few posts ago, my thoughts on hate pit-ter dan kennedy

Dan Kennedy goes on the sound of young america for a podcast so smug you'd think it was the smodcast. Terrible! Jesse Thorn accidentally falls into the hate pit, but is rescued because of past accomplishments.

I happened to hear Dan Kennedy on Michael Feldman's "Whad'Ya Know?" and Feldman actually zung him pretty hard (not sure if it was on purpose or not).  Feldman closed out the interview by just saying "So you can learn nothing about the music industry from this book."  The thing was, it was obviously a joke, but it was one of those jokes where the timing of the delivery kinda belied Feldman's total contempt for the book.  It basically came off as "This guy was sort of funny to talk to, but you will be wasting your money if you buy his book."  Of course, my impression suggests Michael Feldman is in control of his comic timing, which is always arguable.
