I live not far from there - it floods TERRIBLY right there and I cannot fathom why he would have built on that spot. The water goes up onto his property to the tune of a foot or two high. I wouldn't buy right there for that reason along. Also, for 3 million bucks, his neighbors are as close as the dude in the cube next to you.

Every floor has a porch, everything is 'quaint' to all hell, and what the hell would he ever done with a goddamn dock? That house is as out of place as High Pitch Eric at a MENSA meeting.

That house is loving hideous and Artie should be ashamed he bought some crap McMansion just down the road from The Situation's place. Everything about the interior is set up to show off faux-Nor'easter styling for The Hamptons Magazine rather than actual livability and like has been said, nothing about it is very Artie-like.

This is exactly what a lower class person would buy in that area if they came into some money. You guys act like Artie came from money and an upper class lifestyle. McMansions and their classic insides are exactly what a lower class person would envision themselves living in if they came into money. They don't see themselves spending millions and making themselves a grand library or a nice garden they just get a few rooms, a theater/game room and a pool out back and they're set.

Yeah, I understand the sociology behind it, but I still can't really figure out why people think this sort of method for expending cash would make them happy compared to just doing it up the way they want it. It obviously never made Artie very happy. He could have bought something that fit him better (5 bedrooms when you're a single man? Huh?), spent half the money, and had a lot more fun-looking entertainment aspects. His pool room looks sad, his TV areas look sad. I wish there was pics of the Man Cave, maybe that redeems it all? I also don't think Artie's anywhere near as blue-collar as his self-told story might indicate. His father owned his own construction business and his sister went to a design college. The median income for a family in the town he grew up in is $140k. E: I'm wrong here so disregard the last paragraph. Ether Frenzy fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Jun 10, 2011 |

Then his family was hit with all the financial issues of having a father, who provided the most income, incapacitated and on his death bed. When Artie was like 18 or so. The same thing happened to my mom at 14 and it completely fucks your family over financially along with everything else that goes along with it.

That may well be, but it's not the same as growing up 'lower class'.

Ether Frenzy posted:That may well be, but it's not the same as growing up 'lower class'. Middle-class? I'm not even sure I understand your point. Psychology alone can have an effect on someone's complex. Artie feels he comes from a blue collar working class family, and there's nothing really to suggest otherwise. Even if, say, that weren't true, his mindset negates the reality of it and when you have money you can buy into your own misconceptions. Hell, it's why Artie kept up the whole "working man" image because he felt like it's where he comes from as an offshore-man and floundering upstart comedian. A person can work in construction for 6 months and come away with that mentality ingrained in their system even if others judge it as not realistic.

Artie's Man Cave was done on DIY Network's show called Man Caves (Gary and Ferall also had one done with the show). http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/video/player/0,1000643,DIY_33170_4581_25301-29441,00.html

I'm just saying that Artie played up the Working Class thing because that's his persona. It sells to his audience, and it works, and he may well have the mentality of a working class person from his 9 months on the docks. I just don't think if you grow up in a town where the median income for a family is $140k that you are necessarily as underprivileged as most people assume when you hear a personal history that sounds blue-collary. I came from a pretty well off city in the midwest where almost everyone was employed and had a residence, and the median income for families in that town is $54k. Granted, there are regional differences between cost of living, but $140k is pretty comfortable just about anywhere. So my main point was I don't think his 'blue collar' upbringing had all that much to do with his choosing that house.

This is what Wikipedia has for Union Township: The median income for a household in the township was $59,173, and the median income for a family was $68,707 (these figures had risen to $68,979 and $80,260 respectively as of a 2007 estimate). None of this tells us how it was 40 years ago anyway.

Ah, you're right. My mistake - $60k is a lot more consistent with his stories than $140k would be. Still a loving hideous house.

You can't come away with that mentality in that short of a period at all, the hell are you talking about? Your persona in some facets at least, represents your upbringing and the environment you grew up in. Artie grew up in a blue collar home doing blue collar jobs such as working for his dad, doing construction, working for his uncle that was an electrical subcontractor, and then he was a longshoreman. Then he went on to try out comedy and got lucky with MadTV and some movie parts, but he's always retained that blue collar side of himself, and that's normal. chiz fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Jun 10, 2011 |

I think we can all agree that the show is a billion times better with Artie. loving Howard and Robin ruined that interview with the jockeys yesterday, constantly interrupting their attempts to answer questions and impart some information about their world. At one point Howard asked something, Robin interrupted the jockeys and gave a random made up answer, and Howard moved onto the next question like it had been answered. Harrable.

When Artie was sleeping on the air, lying to everyone, monopolizing the airtime with his longwinded heroin stories, or just plain calling in sick, the show was worse than it is now, at least for me. When Artie actually came in and stayed awake and told jokes like his job required the show was way better than it is now.

Ether Frenzy posted:nothing about it is very Artie-like. Well his mom decorated it to begin with, but Artie was so blasted on Heroin during that period, he probably had no idea what was going on. The room with the flat screen, pool table and poker table make sense, but everything else is very much out of place. It wouldnt surprise me if he tried to sell his condo as well. I bet he has basically lived with his mom and sister the last 18 months.

The show's pretty uneventful these days, which ain't a great thing to have to say about the best radio show on Earth, but the show was honest-to-god nausea inducing during the height of Artie's breakdown. I definitely don't listen to a comedy show to get depressed. I miss Artie on the show so much, but he really made the show terrible during the end of his run. It put me on edge the way he'd start yelling over Howard during interviews and stuff.

Notice that everything seems too old-fashioned and the TVs seem like an afterthought. I'm not sure if it's the photographs, but the whole house seems to be incredibly small for its size. It won't go for three million at all. He'll be lucky to get a million for it, simply because it looks like the McMansion version of a Pontiac Aztek.

I have said it once and I will say it again: I am fairly certain the revolution that has become the theme of the Sirius era is against the fans. I've been listening to O&A a lot more - though they have just had a very eventful week or so. Lots of times their show is uneven as well. I really wonder what they will do with the channels once Howard leaves. I don't know if I will make it through another 5 years of shows like this, I may just cancel my best of Sirius package.

I bet Artie doesn't understand why he needed a big beach house like that in the first place, either. The whole house screams 'bad idea' from the tiny attic to the really lovely design.
