Awesome.
So good!

I wrote a book of 101 limericks for fun:



It starts off with this one:

My sainted aunt taunted my taint
I was so mad that I thought I would faint

Then my barmy aurnt Marmie
made love to a carny

And she told me, "Now his taint is quaint."

Most comedians end up killing themselves so it's not really an attractive pursuit. People think Bill Burr is funny I want to kill that asshole, his voice is so irritating.

My dream job would be a stand up comedian. I listen to tons of comedian's podcasts and love the art of creating a joke. Sadly I'm way too much of a puss to try it out and in a terrible area for open mic's etc.

I have been getting high and sort of crafting a joke on how jaded I noticed I'm starting to become watching porn. How when I was 12 or 13 I even rubbed one out to Lela on Futurama, and now I endlessly click through page after page of porn because sometimes it's not HD or this girl's voice just kinda bugs me. Whatever. I suck and will never do it. #yolo.


There's so many good podcasts out there. I mainly listen to Burr's, Marc Maron's and the various channels that Nerdist has like Pete Holme's YMIW. Comedians view the world so beautifully, I think. A total, "yeah, life is shit, why not laugh about it" mentality that really helps in coping with depression.

Tracer mentioned the suicide thing and he's not entirely wrong, unfortunately.

I've wanted to try stand up, maybe at like an open mic or something, but I'd probably choke and crumble under the pressure or something. Probably end up pulling a Dee from Its Always Sunny when she tried stand up.

Strange, in the middle of her turn or was this before/after the meeting. You generally dont interupt people.

Yes, that is generally frowned upon.

One of my old highschool buds went on to become a comedian.  Which is odd cause he certainly wasnt funny in high school???

Anyhow ive never really checked him out, but I think hes more into political/aboriginal stuff

His name is ryan mcmahon if anyone wants to check him out(im sure hes got shit on youtube)

  My uncle has had to recently become vegetarian due to a lifetime of methamphetamine consumption, cancer, and diverticulitis. I moved in with him in January and the newly acquired high fiber diet has him shitting off of a short handle. This, combined with constant neurological twitches from the tweaking itches culminates a ton of material.
  We get home usually around the same time from work, he is a boiler engineer for kaiser, which is a good hour away from the mountain here. I got back, and the whole front house drive way is full of water and smelt negligible to intestine compost. I started putting two and two together. Fucking nozzle hose on the ground, rank stank, shower is already running... This dude got stuck in a bit of traffic, and the dark matter stuck in his colon couldn't wait. I'm putting the image of my overweight uncle just blowing digested corn off of his ballsack at high psi; pissed off, stankin', face muscles pulling full throttle uncontrollably...
  When I see him about half an hour later I call him out on shatting his britches, to which he tells me the garbage disposal backed up and he had to blow it out with a sink balloon and the nozzle hose.
  I want to put that into a three minute or so thing and hit an open mic in a couple weeks at Flappers here in Claremont.
We need Malto to release the pic of Biebel drunk in an elevator with his wiener hanging out.

Comedy podcasts in general.

I enjoy listening to jokes. I'm the least funny person you'll ever meet, because I don't remember any of that shit.

earwolf.com/shows   or   headgum.com/podcasts

that's a pretty good place to start. How Did This Get Made? is great.  Probably my favorite.  I'm a big fan of Comedy Bang Bang as well. Professor Blastoff was a good time.

there's a lot of good improvised podcasts out there like That's How I Remember It (https://player.fm/series/thats-how-i-remember-it) and Illusionoid (http://www.illusionoid.com/)

A lot of the best "comedy" podcasts are shows about other things, or just people shooting the shit who happen to be comedians.  Somebody previously mentioned Marc Maron's podcast, which has a lot of great episodes.  Pete Holmes has a show called You Made It Weird,  Jon Gabrus is a hilarious guy with a show called High and Mighty, and Chris D'elia and Will Sasso have the Ten Minute Podcast. Everything should be on itunes as well.
