They’re talking about genes and how it’s not a choice to be gay, or an asshole who anonymously comments on blogs at their parents house, projecting whatever sad depressed self-loathing that gets bottled up from not feeling like a fulfilled, well-rounded human being, and I think that’s correct. Speaking of genes, I think I was born with a “fake philanthropy” gene somewhere buried in there.

They’re talking about genes and how it’s not a choice to be gay, or an asshole who anonymously comments on blogs at their parents house, projecting whatever sad depressed self-loathing that gets bottled up from not feeling like a fulfilled, well-rounded human being, and I think that’s correct. Speaking of genes, I think I was born with a “fake philanthropy” gene somewhere buried in there.
When I was about 9 I wrote a letter to the Seattle Supersonics asking them to travel 1,612 and a half kilometers to my small town in northern British Columbia to play a pick-up game on an abandoned piece of shit basketball court…..for charity. I actually got a letter back from one of their PR people saying that unfortunately they couldn’t fly an entire basketball team up to my proposed round robin tournament in a remote town that is over 2 hours away from the next nearest civilization, though he wished me luck with the charitable event. I don’t quite remember where I’d planned to dispense the money, but I think it might have been Somalia, though I might have resorted to the catch-all locale: Africa.
Then when I was 24, I had the hair-brained scheme to get an all-star cast of musicians to make fun of Bob Geldof’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas”….for charity. This one worked, sort of. And now the irrepressible amateur half-assed philanthropic gene, it’s struck again (and with David Cross, for a second time- he’s a good sport.)
(Marnie Stern)
On December 8th, I’m curating a night at the Knitting Factory….for charity. Marnie Stern will be there, Gavin and Beckles will be there, showcasing how best to get the shit kicked out of you. Sam, of Wasted Push-up fame will be there, doing his best representation of Kafka’s “A Hunger Artist” (or David Blaine), in a metal cage, substituting an ascetic relinquishment of nourishment for an electric kool-aid type experience. David Cross, like I said, will be there. I’ll be there (and I’m sorry for that, they made me), and comedians like Dave Hill and other surprises will be there. Free PBR will be there, and maybe you’ll be there, too.

I’ll be there twice: once before I barf and then again later
great font choice(s)
goddamn it, this site just depresses me, not because of the supposed ‘thanksgiving slump’ or whatever other posters seem to be bitching about….
….but because of sam fucking metteer. that guy. none of what he does is funny, and all of it just makes me sad for him.
Moody Motorcycle was a great album dude
oooh.. thems fighting words. if people don’t like your comics I don’t think that means they secretly loath themselves just cos they don’t post they name and address. although you know what my name is daniel barnburger and I don’t care what canadian indie band guy knows it. the cokehead singer from tangiers even knows where my gran lives, I deuced this cos he stole her Ashley collection just the other day to buy Roc. ps my parents are dead jerk
in other news being gay is so wearing a shirt as a dress and that’s totes voluma. I’ll be there in spirit drinking the free PBR though farealz with gumption. no seriously, god bless your giving heart sir. it sounds like a great ‘bash’ for a great cause
I vlind after seeing thet david cross pic before the jump to this article thanks aalot adudes!! fucklers.. that shit should ioonly be viewed thru radium lined glasses or somet shit.
kat scroll down- aint no thanksgiving slump – blognigger just killed it.
best sc day in months
god thank christ, i thought u were nick diamond the ‘streetwear’ guy for a 2nd there…
phew. thank god for this recession too, dont know how else we were gonna get rid of all the ‘streetwear’ guys, hopefully they starve to death. or become male prostitutes.
It’s funny: When David Cross acts like a complete fucking dickhead on stage he’s clever; but, when I say the same exact shit in Real Life, people call me an asshole. How Come?????
^Difference is, no one gives a peanut butter with jelly fuck what you think.
Diamonds is back? For how long?
so what exactly is this?
