Curb Your Enthusiasm This is my favorite show of all time, and while I would have loved to have gotten The Simpsons, I'm not sure which I would have taken if they were both available. This show is everything I loved about Seinfeld without any of the awkward sit-com stuff that sometimes went on. I've loved nearly every episode, and it's all the more impressive when you consider they've only got a five or six page script for each episode. I don't know what to say, if you've seen it, you love it, or I hate you.

I didn't think this would still be here, but I'll take it! The Big Lebowski - 1998 This is my favorite Coen brothers movie (althrough Fargo is a close second, and was a great pick.) The Dude is an eternal character. John Goodman as Walter is one of my favorite characters of all time. It's hillarious, and it's hillarious in a way that I can appreciate over and over again. Walter Sobchak: Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

Maybe shitty frozen waffles do. Real waffles certainly don't. Nigga, I made waffles. They're stingier than pancakes.

I think Lil Wayne is sort of in a "post-album" mindset.

God damn it, Damaramu, Oklahoma City is not a big city because it sprawls. OKC is smaller than Portland, Oregon. PDX isn't a big city. Charlotte isn't a big city. New York, LA, Phila, Houston, Dallas, San Francisco... these are big cities. I don't have misconceptions about the place, but apparently you do, like how - for example - it's a big city. I know OKC has museums and theaters and hip neighborhoods and all that, maybe it's just a matter of perception, but I don't think the 30th largest city in this country qualifies.

There you go. Sooooo... did you actually watch that video or are you just posting it? Because the only one of those that seemed even a little like joke stealing was the first one. Are you telling me that ONLY Louis C.K. can joke about naming his kids or having an itchy asshole?

Yeah, you don't like him, and I don't really either, but you're telling me you can't learn things about how to work a comedy audience from him?

Is that Call Tyrone ad like the song "Tyrone" by Erykah Badu?

In LA?! Either I went to the wrong stores, or I got taken for a ride. I got a Burberry suit for around 300 or so. They were running commercials for months! 3 suits! 3 pants! 3 shoes! 3 shirts! 3 ties! $399! I can't remember the particular store, but they were pretty decent brands. edit: Burberry does good work. Their cologne is great, too.

He became cool to hate... well... he became cool to hate on the internet or if you're a working comedian. I don't really understand why the internet hates him... it's the joke stealing rumor (which is way overblown with Dane Cook) combined with the whole phenomenon of hating what's popular. Comedians hate on him for his success, and because of his youth-groupy frat-boy personality... which is compounded by the fact that a lot of these young comics are the elite nerd types who shun anything modern that isn't Patton Oswalt or Zach Galifianakis (who are both great, I'm just saying.) I think Dane Cook has some good material, but the thing that I really like him for is his ability to run a room. He played Madison Square Garden. He played The Boston Garden. He rocked them. His energy is transcendent, he's super physical and he uses that to grab a room by the throat. I really believe that most of the people who talk shit about Dane Cook would crack-up if they saw him in person, especially if you took away the 'DANE COOK!!!!!!!!11!!!DMB!!!1!!OAR!11!" aura he's got. That wasn't addressed to you CCB, I just meant it in a general way... I don't really blame you for being tired of him. Over-saturation.

All I'm saying is, waffles put up way more of a fight when you're going fork-edge on them.

Pancakes! I dont want to have to use a knife when I'm eating breakfast.

No you don't, you live in Oklahoma City. You can't be a big city if the two biggest things you're famous for are 1- A bombing 2- ... You live in a city. I mean a big city - New York/LA/Chicago/Dallas maybe... somewhere that would have a garment district. In downtown LA I could have gotten 3 suits (the whole shebang plus shoes) for $400. Good suits too. It isn't important, you didn't pay for it, but just know... if you gotta get a suit... don't pay that much unless it's Italian. Like, from Italy. Not "Pronto Uomo".

I don't think he's terribly funny, but I respect his ability.

FINALLY. FUCK. Who would shit on you for liking this and why?

That you got it at Men's Wearhouse for that price makes it worse. You gotta shop around, nigga. I got two suits at Men's Wearhouse for around $400. That's shirt/tie/pants/jacket/socks... the only thing I didn't get was the shoes... which I had. Next time you're in a big city, just go to the garment district and get one. Way cheap.

Count me in

Are we talking about the "itchy asshole" joke? Because that was a case of "rehashing an idea" rather than stealing a joke.

It's part of the season long blacklist that ESPN has been pulling on the Celtics.

Unless I'm mistaken, Sir Elton Brand is a UFA.

On the Waterfront - 1954 Such a great movie. Elia Kazan and Marlon Brando at their best, in my opinion. Add to that a Leonard Bernstein score and a screenplay that was originally written by Arthur Miller before Budd Schulberg took it over. It's touching, dramatic and it's the first "old" movie that ever took me in. Plus, Brando is perfect in this. Perfect. I can't really do this movie justice with my reasons for picking it, so I'll just leave this. Charlie: Look, kid, I… How much you weigh, son? When you weighed 168 pounds,you were beautiful. You could have been another Billy Conn. And that skunk we got you for a manager. He brought you along too fast. Terry: It wasn’t him, Charlie, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and said, ‘Kid, this ain’t your night, we’re going for the price on Wilson.’ You remember that? ‘This ain’t your night.’ My night--I could have taken Wilson apart. So what happens he gets the title shot out doors in a ballpark. And what do I get? A one way ticket to palookaville. You was my brother, Charlie. You should have looked out for me a little bit. You should have taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn’t have them dives for the short end money. Charlie: Well, I had some bets down for ya. You saw some money. Terry: You don’t understand! I could have had class, I could have been a contender. I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charlie….

Goodfellas - 1990 This has been my favorite movie since the day I saw it. It is both romantic and gritty. Ray Liotta is at his best, DeNiro puts in one of his last great performances, Bracco is sexy, Pesci is fantastic. It's got everything, including a lot of comedy. The famous scene is Pesci doing his "funny how?" scene, but I think the scene where Pesci is talking to his mom about THIS painting is even funnier. The first hour of the movie made me want to be in the mafia SO bad. It made me long for my New York City roots and a time when neighborhoods were run by gangs that wore ties and smiled. It made prison look great! It made me, to this day, use a razor to slice garlic so thin it melts in the pan. I'll be honest, it falls apart a little at the end... but so does Henry's life... so it feels appropriate. The dream is exposed, the romanticism wilts, and all that's left is Ray Liotta's craggy face. Whatever. I love this movie.

Can I have his spot? I'll pick twice and then take his order.

"I think the biggest challenge Iraq will face is the conflict between the Kurds and the Hutu.... the Tutsi... er... the Hmong. Err..." I actually like McCain... I think. He makes me feel safe.

LT - Anthony Munoz I gotta run out the door right now, but I'll just say he's the best offensive lineman of all time. 11 Pro-Bowls 10 All-Pro selections More later.
