OT - NO POLITICS Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer

[LouJersey]

1. Stand up comedy is a huge love of mine in general. In fact, I've been thinking about developing my own routine, at least in a written sense - and maybe, one day, actually trying my hand at it. Those who are familiar with my antics here won't be surprised to learn I prefer edgy comedy, controversial comedy - I truly think comedy is a healing force for humanity and there's very little I feel is out of bounds when done in the right way. Favourites include Louis CK, George Carlin, Norm MacDonald, Ricky Gervais, Dave Chappelle, Jim Jefferies.

2. Eggs sunny side up, well-cooked pork sausage, slightly undercooked bacon, refried potatoes - not those gross cube things some joints try to pass off - baked beans, coffee and chocolate milk.

3. No.

4. The Black Keys

5. I work in the city, and could never live there, I'd be suffocated. The more space the better - I love the way @shelbysdad described it - if I can't pee off the deck, the neighbours are too close.

two guys more than likely before your time that were funny are Dennis Wolfberg and Richard Jeni

I saw Richard Jeni at the Comedy Connection in the summer of 1996 and he was outstanding. Definitely gone too soon, same with Dennis Wolfberg.

Today is IT hell for me. Happy friday

I’m off on Fridays for family leave and I certainly feel bad for my coworkers, who have been at it since the wee hours trying to keep things running. I hope the rest of your day is smooth sailing!

1. Hannibal Buress

3. Nope. Chased it once when Seids had it, but never found it.
4. Popular among my friends: Jason Isbell.
5. Country girl. Feel like I need a shower whenever I go to Philly or NY. (But not Boston!)

 

[McGarnagle]

Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jim Jeffries and Nikki Glaser are my favorite "modern day" comics.

The only modern day comics I've gotten into are Shane Gillis, Dan Soder, and Mark Normand. If we're talking about a generation older who are still touring and stuff, Chappelle, Rock, Kevin Hart, etc. are solid.

Norm MacDonald is the GOAT and it's not even close though. I miss that man every day

 

[GordonHowe]

Some questions that come to mind today:

1) In honour of the great Bob Newhart passing, name your favourite comedian, whether alive or not.

I love stand up and there's too many. But, though not a stand-up technically, Craig Ferguson is my favorite. Norm MacDonald, Phil Hartman, Albert and Mel Brooks,. Richard Pryor, Bill Burr, Colin Quinn, Seinfeld, Gary Shandling, Chris Rock, Carl Reiner, Chappelle, Bill Maher, Letterman, Conan, Bill Hicks.

PS If you'd like to check Craig, go back a few pages. I posted three clips of him as Larry King. Not for everyone, but I absolutely love it.

2) I'm taking your order, what would your perfect breakfast include (details please)?

Nothing for me, thanks. I am not a morning person. I do not eat breakfast, luncheon rarely.

3) Have you ever seen and touched the Stanley Cup, were you lucky enough to see it with a Bruin?

I may have seen it in 1976, on a visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame. But I don't remember that. Otherwise, unfortunately, no.

4) Name a band or artist whose music you cannot tolerate but is popular.

Most of what's out there today. I don't get the popularity of Beyoncé, for example. The easy selection would be Taylor Swift, whom I used to like.

5) Are you a city or country mouse? Do you love the hustle & bustle of the city or hate it?

There's a lot about urban living I could do without. Noise, cars, etc. Crowds and people, not to put too fine a point on it. But overall I much prefer it to rural surroundings.

Farming is in my family, but it's the last thing I would ever want to do. Ditto rural living.

"To each their own, Number One."

1. My favorite comedian is easily Bo Burnham. Guy is an absolute genius. Watch his specials on Netflix. He absolutely doesn't miss.

2. I have actually got a picture of myself touching the Stanley Cup when i was 15.

3. Taylor Swift - Not because I hate her, or her music, it's just the cult following and the fact that people can obsess this much over a particular individual. I'll also add "mumble rap" or whatever those idiots do.

4. I'm a hybrid. I love the small town living (grew up in a town of 700 people) but also like the access of a bigger city near by (within an hour or so) - I love a simple life where I can hunt, fish and people will just show up unannounced to crush beers in the garage. Ideally, that's my retirement.

Edit: Forgot breakfast. I don't eat breakfast during the week, but on Saturday I can 100% muck some Eggs Benny and some sausage.

 

[Acie]

1) Norm Macdonald, Don Rickles, Bill Burr...

2)Two eggs over medium, rye toast, sausage and home fries

3) I work at a University and it was brought here for an appearance, so I've seen it. lol

4) Any new country artist

5) Live in the city, but hope to make it to the country or a small beach town one day.

1) Newhart was a favourite, Tim Conway, John Cleese, Dom Delouise, and Rowan Atkinson. More current favourite is Ricky Gervais.

2) Scrambled eggs, Texas toast with strawberry jam, ham and real home fries (no frozen type garbage)

3) I have seen it at the HHOF and also with Rich Peverley in Guelph, where I touched it.

4) Guns 'n Roses....cannot stand Axl for many reasons. I don't like rap either.

5) Definitely country, I loathe being in most cities. Waterloo is closest and is pretty small, clean and tolerable. I would be happy without being able to see my neighbours - at least out back we have farm fields, though they do come with "dairy air" at times.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jim Jeffries and Nikki Glaser are my favorite "modern day" comics.

I almost went with Mitch Hedberg.

 

[HHHH]

1) In honour of the great Bob Newhart passing, name your favourite comedian, whether alive or not.

I like Jo Koy...can relate to a lot of his humor about growing up Asian

2) I'm taking your order, what would your perfect breakfast include (details please)?

I love as good Eggs Florentine with some crispy home fries and a side of crispy bacon. Black coffee

3) Have you ever seen and touched the Stanley Cup, were you lucky enough to see it with a Bruin?

Not yet

4) Name a band or artist whose music you cannot tolerate but is popular.

The White Stripes...just not a fan personally, but no judgment about anyone who likes them.

5) Are you a city or country mouse? Do you love the hustle & bustle of the city or hate it?

I love the hustle and bustle of the city and grew up in a rather urban area, but currently live out in the sticks.

 

[GordonHowe]

This isn't for everyone, either. But, to me at least, it's f****** hilarious.

One of the funniest bits I've ever seen in my life (Conan thought so too),

 

[Bruinfanatic]

another comedian to add......the late John Pinette.....you go now ! you been here 4 owa!

He was hilarious loved this one also

Good questions!

1. I'm also a Steven Wright fan. I met him in person once, and he is the exact same in real life. Uncanny. A friend asked him if he wanted a ride home, and Wright responded, "no thanks, it would be too far out of my way."

2. Corned beef hash and eggs. Which I rarely order any more because it's very fattening. But it is my favorite breakfast meal.

3. Twice, Once when the Lightning one after the lockout, Steve Baker was a scout and had an event in Cohasset that had a remarkably light turnout. And when Andy Ference had his parade through the North End, I was lucky enough to be in the firehouse across from St. Stevens Church when he brought it inside for a few minutes.

4). I don't like country music. I also was never a fan of Pearl Jam during the height of their popularity.

5). Yes. I grew up in Quincy, the Missus grew up in Dorchester. We still talk about moving back to the city if and when we find a good living situation for our son. And we have a house in NH on a lake which our relaxation spot.

Shout out to Crowdstrike. Who wants to have a relaxing Friday when you can sit in 5 hours of calls and meetings.

 

[RoccoF14]

1. Dave Chappelle
2. Breakfast Burrito. Sausage, Egg, Pepper, Onion, melted Cheese and a little hot sauce.
3. Saw it at the HHoF.
4. Taylor Swift
5. I’m a country mouse at heart, but don’t have a problem in the big city either.

 

[Sheppy]

The "city" I live in right now is the perfect size for me, 20,000 people. The only thing that really sucks is it's so far away from the next big city (Edmonton, about a 14-15 hour drive)

 

[TD Charlie]

Shout out to Crowdstrike. Who wants to have a relaxing Friday when you can sit in 5 hours of calls and meetings.

Seriously. Spent several hours waiting for instructions on how to fix my own laptop. Got tired of waiting, drove into the office to get network access, fixed my laptop, then was used as Managements unofficial instruction sheet proof reader so everybody could fix other devices.

Drove to a private practice, fixed 10 of their laptops and went home.

Happy f***ing Friday lol
