How many threads are we going to start about this stale piece of news?

Lewd Ferrigno · 12-26-2005, 11:15 AM

I would never have expected a comment like this from such a level headed guy.

jim schmidt · 12-26-2005, 11:43 AM

Two threads on the same subject started by the same poster on the same day? C'mon.

Lewd Ferrigno · 12-26-2005, 12:06 PM

Maybe we have the Georgia sportbikes forum problem, again?

jim schmidt · 12-26-2005, 02:02 PM

I'd like to think it is just pent up demand (for now.)

Lewd Ferrigno · 12-26-2005, 05:15 PM

here's a preview of a joke I'm doing about this in my act tonight.

What did you expect from this guy? He had an anti-isreal day, fer chrissakes. Did you think he was going to say "Well, I know I've been pretty anti-semetic in the past, but, after watching the DVD set of the first season of Curb your enthusiasm I got for Ramadan, I may have been wrong. As a token of our friendship, I would like to give Isreal this Led Zeppelin box set"

...after watching Meet the Fockers on DVD...

Your setup is a little too esoteric, in my view. I'd also say anti-jew, but I've always been a fan of the quick setup.

There is always good sport to be made of Middle Eastern dress as well, "wedgie in his Burkka" perhaps? "Fallafel gas" might work too.

Everybody's a critic.

Lewd Ferrigno · 12-26-2005, 06:43 PM

so, you'd prefer a burkha fart joke?

<----prefers fart jokes......could care less about the attire

No, I just think the setup is a little convoluted.

Lewd Ferrigno · 12-26-2005, 11:12 PM

It actually went over well.

Happy to hear it. I guess "go with your gut" was the right choice. Good set overall?

It was a slow night, only about 25 people there and they were all comedians. It went over well. I managed to counter every politcal observation with a dick joke. Just to pander to everyone.
