Talk About Stuff (NRR or RR)

[Jimster]

The_Non said:*What motivates/motivated you to buy records?




A) Getting the specific record you wanted/listening to specific music

If you could fight one musician, past or present, who would it be and why?

Stevie Wonder, just to see if he has developed mad Luke-Skywalker-Force-Training-Helmet skillz. Y'know, just slaps and the like. Not sparking the f*cker out. WHAT AM I, A BULLY*?

Going off earlier Mulaney talk, have you ever played a song on a jukebox to torture people in a restaurant or bar, and if so, what was it?

Yes. Japan - Ghosts. Used to deliberately harsh J*mmy Price's mellow, where he would be looking for me to throw beer at me.





"WHO PUT THIS ON? 'KIN MUSIC TO SLIT YER WRISTS TO. WHERE THE F*CK IS HE?"





Happy days.


























*I bet he's not really blind after all.

--The show Mulaney is a really odd case. It's got a bunch of funny people involved (John Mulaney, Nasim Pedrad, Elliott Gould, etc.), but it looks pretty dire. I really wonder what happened there. All those people must know that what they're putting on the air isn't funny. Did the show just get network-noted to death? Is this the best they could do given some other constraints they were working under? I want a behind-the-scenes account.





---I just celebrated 10 years at my company, and I'm terrified of losing my job. Is that just how things are nowadays?




I haven't watched Mulaney's show but the TV critic at my job says that if you get thru the first two or three episodes it improves a lot.





I live in pretty much constant fear of losing my job as well. Even though we are one of the most successful magazines around there is no getting past the fact that print is dying faster than ever, and I am being priced out by kids fresh out of school who will try to do my job for half my salary. Scary times.

My name means diarrhea in Japanese.

Sometimes I think of things that make me laugh and I write them down on my iPad. Like really corny stuff. Lately I've wanted to go to a comedy open mic and just read this shit out and see how long I can go before eating booed off stage.





Sample:





I lost twenty pounds last month. I was in England.





I hate abbreviations. My favorite movie is wizard of ounce.





I'm here to chew ass and kick bubblegum and I'm all outta bubblegum





I put "e" inside a gnome. It turned him into a genome.





I got in a minor accident yesterday. I'm fine but the minor died.

My wife didn't think the minor joke was funny at all but I thought it was funny

They're decent. You could be this generation's Henny Youngman. Call yourself Gary Oldman.

Hey,





Here is some stuff from the top of my head:





1. Appreciate life everyday.


-Those who choose to wallow in self-pity instead of counting their blessings are taking life for granted.





2. Play for legacy.


-Do positive things in the world that will live beyond you.





3. Take time to live.


-Don't let ego, the paper chase, and various life commitments keep you from pursuing your passions.





4. Feel for others.


-We can't truly love others if you can't feel their pain.





5. Speak up for right.


-Silence in the face of wrong make you an accomplice to it.





6. Be the bigger person.


-The pursuit of peace is more honorable than winning the argument.





7. Follow your instincts.


-Most times, what you feel is more accurate than what you think.





8. Take time to reflect.


-Seek out a quiet space to collect your thoughts.





9. Love yourself so that you can love others.


-Low self-esteem ruins relationships.





10. Be a great person.


-Greatness is more about who you are than about what you do.





Peace,





Big Stacks from Kakalak

Does onanism count? I rate myself quite highly in this regard.

I think that's what George Benson / Whitney were on about.





Certainly, became my mantra.





I understand this is why there are bolts on doors.





In other good news:

Tumor removed was 6kg = 6.61387 pounds.

Many years ago I had a dream I will always remember.


I was in a large guitar store playing the acoustic steel strings.


The salesman comes up to me with this amazing vintage Fender Strat.


He tells me that it had been Henny Youngman's guitar and that Henny wanted me to have it so I could do standup comedy.

Those are funny as hell.





I think I would prefer a string of funny one liners to the rambling unfunny anecdotes I seem to hear at open mic nights.

P.G. Tips is really good tea.





Is Bill Cosby really a raper?
