... it should have gone out with Andrew Dice Clay, but as long as people confuse their hatred with their humor, intolerance will never die. And it's interesting how much these oh-so-hip offence humorists seem like they're agreeing with older, more vicious forms of stupidity -- this cartoon's gay blood libel would not be out of place in a Westboro Baptist Church newsletter, or an RNC briefing pamphlet...

Im not like you guys, twelve majestic lies.

...Those who found more stuggle than acceptance. Problems than popularity. Blink-182 came together before the scene they helped create, they are our forefathers. Girls wanted to be with them, and there were the humorists guys whished they were. None of there cotemporaies in pop punk even came close.

On the responsibilities of writers: Responses to comments

... that, as niennah maintains, ‘the author is dead.   Barthes killed him’: although any Briton retailing a budget of stale news has been reminded that Queen Anne is indeed dead, and Canadian humorists ( there’s an oxymoron for you, some would say) reminded 1970s New York upon every Saturday night – live – that the metabolic processes of Generalissimo Francisco Franco had ceased, the Creator   ...

Hello Again

... his seedy past and we would make bizarre jokes that he would try to not laugh at because that would kind of ruin his image. We did make him laugh out loud at least twice I think because we are all better humorists than musicians. More music news: I'm pretty great at the ukulele now. I Tiptoe Through the Tulips with the best of them. Next, I'd like a banjo, thank you! I learned to play it at the ...

No Wonder It's a Classic

...so well. I really loved the attached essay Those Extraordinary Twins . It's available in the public domain, and is well worth reading, especially for anyone interested in the writing process. All novelists and humorists should read this essay, I think. I started Jack Chalker's Echoes of the Well of Souls tonight too. Having never read a Well of Souls book before, I think this is an intersting ...

Превед из 1858-го

I came across a citation to the Southern Literary Messenger from 1858. The piece was written by "Mozis Addums," penname of George William Bagby, one of the humorists of the mid-nineteenth century who thought spelling everything phonetically was funny.
