I bet she’s got quite the “war face”.
I propose a death pool for little Georgie. Who will he kill next, and how will his apologists explain it away? We could create a table; next victim across the vertical and excuse across the horizontal. We all pay a little to play, pick a square, and the winner gets the cash.
For the vertical I propose:
- His wife
- O’Mara
- His father-in-law
- Himself
- Random black person under 12 years of age
- Random black person over 12 years of age
And for the horizontal I propose:
- S/he was walking suspiciously
- But think of all the people he hasn’t killed!
- Technically, most of those weren’t murders, you big meanies!
- It’s the victim’s fault for not shooting first
- The whole thing was a frame job by the new black panthers (both of them!)
- Al Sharpton! Urban! Drank! No limit! Subhuman! Blarggghhh! (aka, the Lonesome Polecat approach)
I’ll go first. I pick “His Wife” and “It’s the victim’s fault for not shooting first”
How about “No one, payable two years from today?”
I’ll put some money on that. Will you?
I feel as though at some point in your life someone should have sat you down and explained the concept of “hu-man hum-oor” to you. Bonus, your friends would like you more if you weren’t always interrupting their jokes to triumphantly declare “Wrong! Ducks can’t talk!”
How many comedians do you imagine succeed because the audience fails to laugh at their jokes, but warm up after the comedian demands that they concede that the joke was actually funny?
Yes, this argument will certainly prove to the world that you’re not a humorless pedant. Maybe you should follow-up with a legal definition of “humor,” “comedian” and “joke.” That would be a winning combo for you.
Hey pal, I don’t come down to where you work and slap the dictum out of your mouth!
Oh, I get it! Legal definition! Ha! That’s hilarious, because, I’m a lawyer, so, funny.
My goodness, how have you NOT been on the Tonight Show yet?
You watch the Tonight Show? I think I see the problem.
But that Steve Allen is such a nice young man.
Is the problem that I watch the show more people ages 18-49 watch? Because that’s not really a “problem,” as such.
According to in-home viewing figures from Nielsen Media Research for the week of Aug. 26-30, adults 18-49:
RATINGS/SHARE
11:35 p.m.-12:35 a.m. ET
NBC “Tonight,” 0.8 rating, 4 share
CBS “Late Show,” 0.6 rating, 2 share
ABC “Kimmel,” 0.5 rating, 2 share
TOTAL VIEWERS
11:35 p.m.-12:35 a.m. ET
NBC “Tonight,” 3.5 million viewers
CBS “Late Show,” 2.5 million viewers
ABC “Kimmel,” 1.9 million viewers
Or is this one of those deals where you believe the less popular your chosen show is is what proves how much better it is?
Clearly, you haven’t noticed: True Doper’s must watch The Daily Show or The Colbert Report.
I certainly appreciate the circularity of using charts and tables to argue that you’re not a humorless pedant. Perhaps some glossy photographs will seal the deal?
So you’re saying, in effect, Yes, yes, you may be factually correct in every particular, and I may have been factually wrong, but I was FUNNY! Take that!
Well, if it helps, I think this approach of yours is fucking hilarious.
Yes, when you said “hurumph, sir, I watch the same comedic television programming as the majority of American males aged 18-45, thus I am certainly not without humor,” I was certainly put in my place.
When this thread is televised, you’ll be played by Rainn Wilson.
So, Bricker…McDonalds’s has sold billions and billions and billions…fuckit…at this point I’m sure we’re safe to call it trillions…of hamburgers. Given the weight of those numbers, I think it’s impossible to argue against the clear superiority of the McDonald’s burger, right?
Argumentum ad populum, my friend? To justify the quality of comedy?
This is the lamest hijack in board history. I’m praying for a conspiracy theorist to show up and accuse the government of killing Trayvon.
If you study the overnights for the show “New Girl”, you already KNOW who killed Trayvon!!

Yes, it’s impossible to argue that McDonald’s is not producing a superior product.
That is not simply a measure of burger quality, however. Price is also a factor. Availability is a factor.
But taken as a whole, it would be madness to try to pretend that McDonald’s is offering something that people don’t want. And ultimately, that’s a valid measure f success.
