It would be like confession (in the Catholic sense) without the subsequent act of contrition. Leaving your soul a tabula rasa.

My experience suggests that the same two categories prevail in men, too. I've known a few whose disturbances were perhaps so successfully masked as to be what we may term 'sane'. Privately I've always suspected that I simply didn't have enough time with them to observe the inevitable crazy start oozing out.

Thanks. I was trying to think of the most appropriate term and decided that rather with going with something more reasonable I should just go all-out and pick something that both explains what I want to say and would amuse by making me sound as out-of-touch as possible.

When you get down to it though, it becomes more self-reflexive because as uncool and unused as it is that really is the correct term we ought to be using.
steev_dayv » neu 1 years ago
I'm for the legalization and taxation of substances such has tetrahydrocannabinol, psilocyben cubensis, and dimethyltryptamine. These are naturally occurring substances, and in that respect they should be legal. The taxation issue is a touchy one, but it makes the most sense in an American context. Vegas runs a tax on prostitution, and that seems to be the right idea. Those variables that we may consider undesirable should be legal, regulated, and taxed. But that's this\ guy's ideas.

I am imagining the wide-eyed cat telling me about how awesome DMT is with the passion of the newly-converted.

I don't dream often. For a great many years I don't recall dreaming at all. I'm not even certain it's an issue of remembering as I have various sleep problems so I may not have been getting proper REM sleep much of the time or for long enough intervals to have proper dreaming.

But I wanted to sound, well, not so much like a rookie cop as perhaps a square from a propaganda film. Totally out of it and no trace of slang.

Hmm... now that I think about it I find it interesting that slang terms -- which, of course, come in and out of fashion as using an unfashionable term is just as bad -- seem to be considered the only acceptable to discuss drugs. This seems somewhat curious to me.

baaaah. whatever. the truckloads of U.S. dollars that are getting shipped to Mexican drug cartels - de facto feeding a [yet another] 3rd world war - would be a bit lighter (less). the state would lose money on criminal penalties, but it'd decrease the prison population (California is talking about releasing 40,000 prisoners early). also, less law enforcement money (like using Black Hawk helicopters to scan the sierra nevada for farms).

ups / downs.. whatever. i am looking at it from a strictly financial standpoint. this state is fucked finanacially. we keep pouring more illegals into this state that is just pounding our infrastructure. 1/2 the emergency rooms in Los Angeles are shut down.. illegals come in and don't pay.

it's just insane here right now. maybe some normlcy (get it) could alleviate the cash flow problem here (i.e, less cash flowing over the border).

I have a framed collage in my living room made out of old Ninetendo Power magazines that I cut up solely for that purpose. It is right next to a collage of comic book characters that I cut out of comic books from the early 90s. The moral is that I desecrate awesome things to make cool wall hangings.

Here is one of them.

Here is another one.

belgand » neu 1 years ago
Awesome, but the framing actually makes them lose a bit of their awesomeness. Not qualified for "to the max". I'd suggest keeping a ragged edge (well, not literally "ragged", but a non-even edge formed by the collaged panels) and maybe matting them on cardboard.

I would, however, want something like that in my home. I suspect that (assuming I actually had money) I would not be alone in wanting to pay for something like that.
belgand » neu 1 years ago
Seriously, I'm sure you could get at least $50 or more for those or something much like them. You just need to find the right place to exhibit or otherwise sell them.
thegoodwillgirl » neu 1 years ago
I just chubbied this instead of hitting reply, but the sentiment is pretty much the same, which is this:

Thank you.

That's pretty awesome of you to say. I see what you're saying about the ragged edges, but we were working with a frame theme that's already running rampant in my living room, so it didn't even really cross my mind to stop it with that one.

Along with the comic book one and the Nintendo Power one, I also have one of pinup girls. They are over the couch in my living room. It is like a thing. All in matching frames, you know?

Maybe I could sell them and become a rich lady!

As it is now, we're essentially paying a $150-300/ounce tax to the mexican mafia, so it's hard for me to consider $50 insanely high.

Hop into the WayBack Machine, kids.

Back in the day, an ounce was judged to be a 3-finger bag deep: index, middle, ring. I quit that shit when it was $15 and getting more expensive.

I'm not making fun - I am seriously interested to know when (and where) an oz. could be had for $15. This is a serious question.

Also, was it before scales were invented? (This is not a serious question.)
scorpio_nadir » neu 1 years ago
Why so serious? It was before your time, my child, in the mythical early '70's. The Mexican border was not so hard for people to shlep across then, especially San Diego or Tucson. In the 60's, it was far cheaper, even.
And I had a scale then, but it was confiscated along with other various paraphernalia.

I think we should legalize and tax alcohol.

Wait ...
belgand » neu 1 years ago
Even less popular, but I really wish there was a way to bring back prohibition. Not for crazy religious reasons though, but because of the absolutely terrible cost it has on our society.

I mean, I agree with the people who say that alcohol is generally worse than marijuana. I never said I wanted alcohol to be legal though.
rowboat » pro 1 years ago
Because prohibition worked so well the first time. And we have plenty of room in our prisons. And I don't think there's enough of a gang presence in this country. Let's set this in motion, A.S.A.P.
belgand » neu 1 years ago
I never said I didn't realize the many, many problems with it.

Looking back on prohibition the thing that always strikes me the most is how people really only follow the law if it suits them. This disturbs me, but we see evidence of it all the time: speeding, piracy, drugs... people won't avoid doing something just because it's illegal. I don't think I'll ever understand this.

Maybe because someone figured out that stealing, speeding, or plain getting out of control was somehow dangerous when highways, trees, or pissed off rightful owners were around, and imagined that making a law about it would make it easy on all?

The third time I swerved a tiny bit into the oncoming lane on a two-lane back road with no lights at 3 AM because I wasn't familiar with the exit and there were no lights. I somehow sensed as this happened that the car I saw behind me was a police car, but I wasn't pulled over until I reached the main road. Obviously he probably thought I might have been drinking, but I clearly was not.

Clearly the best solution is to carefully follow all traffic laws at all times and be honest and polite if you do happen to be pulled over.

Really, aside from the type of fans he primarily attracts, there's nothing bad or stupid about Dane Cook's comedy. His style is way more original than, say, Demetri Martin. Just because 50% of his fans are frat types doesn't mean every hipster on the planet has to make him their punching bag.

fineoakstructure » neu 1 years ago
Knock 'em all you want, they're both horribly overrated. But at least Mitch made me laugh more than Demetri Martin. Man, I watched 20 minutes of that new show of his, it was boring as hell. Hint: Wes Anderson characters are funny in Wes Anderson movies, Demetri; the act isn't as funny in real life.
connormc » neu 1 years ago
I agree, the sketches on his show are not all that funny. There have definitely been times when I sit there thinking "man stop doing this to yourself". But I think when he sticks to straight stand-up (as he does for about 5 minutes total each episode, sadly) he is terrifically witty. It's nothing Steven Wright didn't already do, but it's still good stuff, and Demetri's delivery gets me every time. But don't judge the man on his show. It needs some work.
_cheesekayke » neu 1 years ago
I'm not judging him on his show. I've seen plenty of his standup, which is very funny, but not nearly as original as people seem to think it is. I did watch the premiere and thought the sketches were pretty terrible, and even the standup was subpar. Hopefully it'll get better, if it doesn't get canceled first.

Who said anything about knocking Mitch Hedberg? Mitch Hedberg is one of the greatest comedians... not in the world.
Incidentally, a few months ago they came out with a new album of new material he was hoping to make into a CD before his death. It's not nearly as good as his completed stuff, but it's still Mitch. I seem to have been the only fan I know who's heard about it.

It takes a bit to get used to him, I didn't like him at first but I listened through all of Strategic Grill Locations and loved it.

Bill Hicks on the other hand is a mixed bag. On one hand, he is very good, on the other hand he inspired some really horrible screechy comedy. DAVID CROSS I'M LOOKING AT YOU. You are funny in Arrested Development but your stand up rarely makes me laugh and doesn't even make me think. If I wanted to be told I'm stupid for being a Christian I'd just go to school more!
fineoakstructure » neu 1 years ago
Mitch Hedberg is OK, but just ridiculously kitschy. Same with Demetri Martin, but more so (at least Mitch's schtick was somewhat original, if ultimately tiresome).

Anyways, I saw Martin's stand up special on Comedy Central a year or two back; again, funny at times, but ultimately he relies too much on his indie hipness/cuteness to carry his act, instead of actual talent.

To be honest, I've never given a shit about most stand up comedy. Including Bill Hicks.

I was confused by your taste in comedy for a second, gh, but your last sentence explained a lot. I mean, I don't agree with you at all, but I at least know why you'd say such things. Unfortunately, all the best stand-up comedians bash religion. It's basically mandatory.
sje46 » neu 1 years ago
I think they should bash religion, and everything else they find illogical. They shouldn't call Christians stupid though, because that isn't true. What I'm saying is is that they should have proof that what they are accusing of being illogical actually is, or else they are as bad as Mencia.
theguitarhero » neu 1 years ago
Yeah David Cross' schtick is basically HEY CHRISTIANS OR ANY RELIGIOUS PPL THEY SHURE ARE DUMB HURPA HURPA HURP OH AND AMERICA IS SHITTY AND EVERYTHING IS SHITTY BLAH BLAH.

I don't mind religion bashing, I know it is a thing and I'm a strong enough person that I can take it, but I think when your entire act is just bashing people you aren't a very good comedian. If David Cross wasn't so well loved by hipsters for Mr. Show and Arrested Development, or if he played better in the flyover states, he'd be bashed as much as Mencia.

Rapidfire puns coming atcha like a Blitzkrieg, Cold War satire devastating whole towns like a hydrogen bomb, and of course Fractured Fairy Tales which is just the apex of "new spin on an old favorite," done 20000x better than Shrek.

Well the first one was alright, in terms of "Here I am, a child for the most part, watching a well-animated movie with a good old fashioned fairy tale story with a saucy modern twist!"

But the second was just pop cultural reference after reference. It was basically the idea that "kids' movies can have something for the parents too" idea that's been hanging around since Pixar's been doing its thang, but ratcheted up a million fold to the point of suffocating the original not-so-bad idea.

In contrast to Fractured Fairy Tales, it is indeed a man serving you fried shit. In comparison to other kids' movies, it is a man serving you fried shit with a penny on top.

Ian went upstairs to Lissa's room to see if she wanted to do coke or pot and maybe provide him with head. I got on the dancefloor and started approaching the skinny white girls, some of which were not into black guys, others you could tell were only going to dance with a black guy because it was so scandalous and had no intention of going home with me and even if they did we would not be a couple in the morning. It kind of makes me feel like semi-attractive black guys who can dance are the new slutty girls: good for a bonk but not relationship material. Maybe if I dated black women more I wouldn't have this problem. At the end of the night, me and my roommates all struck out so we went back to the suite and watched gay porn on Ian's computer, and did some bong hits. Ian had the running commentary, explaining to us non-bisexuals that there is a lot of gay porn where the pitcher is allegedly straight because there is a fantasy about turning straight men, but that you can see they are clearly gay (you can tell by the pixels).

Hers. I go into a fugue state most of the time.

Actually, sex basically is a fugue state. The delicate balance of maintaining it and afterwards you don't entirely understand what happened or why.

Belgand is all wrapped up in existential dread at the imminent heat-death of the universe.
This results in a fugue state which he cannot ignore, even during the mini heat-death of sex.

i read this story and pictured it in my head like this
fineoakstructure » neu 1 years ago
I can't buy the historical inaccuracy of being able to pause a Matrix DVD (no earlier than 2000) and the USA Network showing something like The Toxic Avenger (highly unlikely to be shown anytime after USA Up All Night went by the wayside in the 98) on the same night.
belgand » neu 1 years ago
Good call. I think we can all also agree that Up All Night was significantly better when it was being hosted by Gilbert Gotfried and not that annoying girl who did the squeaky thing when she pronounced the title.

We desperately need to bring that back, but on another channel that's not going to be a prude about the very necessary gratuitous nudity. I'd say we need a whole channel for it, but that would ruin it. Gotta be late-night only.

In a way it might be a bit worse in the era of Tivo. I mean, you can't Tivo something like that and have be nearly as good. Plus the Tivo would probably be busy recording something else so you can't just flip over to it.
apocowarg » pro 1 years ago
It was a mashing together of things that have happened to me and stuff I just made up, hence the inaccuracy. I have been at a party where two men got into a fist fight over a song's lyrics but the artist was Tool not Lynyrd Skynyrd. I have been trapped in a closet doing coke with people but my name isn't Steve and I never went to community college. I have watched The Toxic Avenger on USA but it was indeed before The Matrix was in theaters much less on DVD.

I admit that I was never familiar with him which is very odd.

According to Wikipedia he recorded some country and admired Hank Williams.
rowboat » pro 1 years ago
He recorded very little country. But the little he did is what put the thought in my head. He could've gone places with it.

Not surprising about Hank. He and GG had a lot in common. They both beat the fuck out of women and died by the needle. Both rammed bananas up their asses and exposed themselves to kids. The only difference was that GG explicitly detailed his trespasses. Hank kept it quiet. Hank took showers.

In fact, this goes for everyone who is in the vacinity of a jumpsuit that they may buy.

Not because I expect it to be in the least bit erotic, just because I expect it to be fucking hi-larious. I wouldn't argue with both, though.

The problems with that sort of thing is that people say something is in because designers make clothing in that style. It has nothing to do with what people are actually buying or wearing.

I am tickled by the idea of blowing your head off in a creek to avoid a mess. Even better if you can do it just upstream from a funeral home. Give them a call on the cell phone first, "Uh, Dave's Mortuary? Yeah, can you walk on down to the creek in about 10 minutes? Uh-huh. Bring a long stick. What? Oh, blue jeans and an 'HR Pufnstuf' T-shirt."
belgand » neu 1 years ago
Not entirely funny. I was talking about this with a friend the other day when he admitted that he'd been sexually abused as a child and had a lot of issues with this for a while. At one point he'd considered suicide, but one of the main reasons he didn't go through with it was because he didn't want to create a mess or be a burden on others.

Beef knows this is the truth. As we all do. That is why we are able to laugh at it. Onstad knows how to work a rough chuckle.

I have favored legalizing pot ever since my jackass of a roommate spent every hour of every day going on about how fucking wonderful it was and he subscribed to these asinine magazines and was always looking at these websites called bud toker.com or some bullshit and he was always the guy at the party rambling on about "medicinal effects" and "puritans" and I always thought MY GOD.
