Appaloosa,

I think the bitterness comes from that place in comics, where we try to think of something novel and different and are stuck doing road gigs (if we're lucky), and then he comes up with dick and fart jokes with a (fake!) southern accent, then he gets to be one of the top paid comics in the nation (on the merchandising alone).

Yes, Jane. I agree. That's exactly what it is. The old green-eyed monster rears his head again. Few comics want to do his type of standup, but most of us envy his success a little. I think Whitney is funny too. Not in a groundbreaking way -- more like high school funny -- but he's still funny. We should cut him so slack. His movie tanked...what else do you want?

mojones, some comis were dogging Carrot Top the other day and I told them for Carrot Top money I'd stick the props up my arse

jane_haze,

Appaloosa,

I just got an email from my stepmom... and she told me, and she seemed fairly happy about it... last night, she saw larry the cable guy.

I'm never gonna win.

Murphdogg,
You have no idea how much I appreciate that laugh! Was having a horrible day after a particularly horrible week and that line made it all insignificant! Thanks...

jane_haze,

She was probably just trying to "drive your bus" a little bit. Dont' sweat it. Besides, it's your stepmom. I doubt very seriously if she's into Sarah Silverman, Lampanelli et al..
