It was so good! Risking sounding mawkish here but I thought his thing about depression was amazing - so refreshing to hear someone speak openly about their depression and struggle with medication and such, and do it in a way that can make people laugh but at the same time reflect on a serious note. As someone who has had to deal with depression and medication withdrawal, I really appreciated his account and the ability to laugh at painful experiences. And the comparison to his dog was great. Anyway I hope he is doing well.

Not to derail, but it sounds like you should also pick up Maria Bamford's newest album... She deals with similar subjects really hilariously.

Is that a word?

That is not a word.


it is a word.

"That" is a word - one of our most basic, in fact.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

"That": a word so nebulous it borders on meaningless.

per Jason Woliner's twitter, the cd and dvd are the same exact thing in different packaging.

Thanks! I'm glad I picked up the CD-shaped version then. Strangely enough, none of the Best Buys in town are stocking this, but I was able to find it at Target. It was in the "up and coming artists" section right next to Shinedown.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

It's likely exclusive to certain stores.

Just read a decent little article about John Hamm in the new Elle. Go to the drugstore and read the article, then put the magazine back. It's on page 138.

Yes, but is "dramatical" a word?

Yeah, my Best Buy apparently doesn't carry non-music albums anymore.  I was going to order it online but the DVD/CD version is $3 more.

He's right; I can confirm this since it was used in a Twiztid song.

(yeah I know that chorus was stolen from a classic Boogie Down Productions track but it's funnier this way)

Wow, I had no idea. I was just being a jerk.

Doesn't the word "dramatic" do the same thing as "dramatical" but in less letters?

See, inflammable is when you're more than flammable. It's when something is so flammable, that it's INflammable.

How about 'ironic' and 'ironical'? When I see or hear 'ironical' I want to punch something.

Now I have to punch myself.
