Out of morbid curiosity, I flipped through one of Dr. Sarno's books. The gist of it is that everything that has ever troubled you with your body is due to repressed emotions, usually related to your dad beating you as a child or something, and all you have to do is acknowledge it and it goes away instantly. And I do mean everything: quote:For years I have been allergic to whatever it is that cats exude

Psychosomatic symptoms are definitely real, as are "treatments" like placebo, but if Sarno thinks you can solve all physical ailments by seeing a shrink he's an idiot. It's like how chiropractors are taught that all disease is due to a misaligned spine. You have diabetes? Here, let me crack your back. It reminds me of Kevin Trudeau's books where he claims you can cure polio by drinking vinegar or something.

Two things: • I have an extra voucher for 2 people for the Wednesday taping of America's Got Talent in NYC. It's the 5 PM taping. My name is on the voucher, but I don't THINK that matters based on any other taping of a show I have attended. First to yell out gets it! • How serious it the "No cell phones" rule at the taping? We'll leave the heavy stuff at home (iPhone, BlackBerry, etc) but I want to at least bring in my husband's dumb phone. I was planning on putting it in my small purse. How carefully do they look?

Very serious. You can't do anything but sit there while they film. Most people are lost because they make you put your phone in your car or "turn them in" and if they catch you with one, they will kick you right out. But then again, they kick people out for not looking good or acting the fool enough when on camera. You are a prop to them, you are the studio audience.

We'll be in NYC, so we can't leave them in the car, ugh. If I stick it in my purse and don't touch it, will that be okay? I'm wondering how thoroughly they search you? We look totally average and so I bet we don't even get in.

They don't cast Hollywood extras to sit in the audience, it probably just means you can't be 400 pounds with oozing sores and show up expecting to sit front row.

Well yeah, the front rows are totally for the primo people, but the rest is standard auditorium seating, don't let that throw you if you actually just wanted to go to watch the show and see people. Didn't consider the no car thing, in LA screenings are probably different for the reason then, everyone drives here.

DangerDummy! posted:Either that or pulling a Willy Aames on Celebrity Fit Club. I can't help but think that a clearheaded Sam Kinison might've done some great stuff with the benefit of a couple crazy decades behind him, but a Sam/Dice seventh comeback tour reality show seems a hell of a lot more probable. I would think Kinison would grow beyond the need for that sort of attention. Or rather, he would go to an extreme each way: either just go the Fox News route or become an even more hardcore (and liberal) Henry Rollins. Bonzo posted:Kinison was one of those guys that started to redefine stand up in the 80s and along with Dice, was the first "rock star" comedian. Carlin, Steve Martin and Robin Williams were the last ones to be able sell out arenas in the late 70s and very early 80s. The religion part is the real wildcard: Kinison knew the power of it (and knew how hellfire could appeal to his audience) but I'm not sure if he could stifle the greed in order to use it to push a valid point. The weird thing about this equation is how the '90s would have treated Sam: he would have been lost in the collapse of hair bands and possibly one of those people who would have given up on any other form of music out of spite. If he could have dealt with that in an effective and mature way, he could have become one of the best comedians ever on par with what Dennis Miller pretended to be in the '90s and what Jon Stewart became in the '00s. But we'll never know. Such a shame, too, since he had a lot of anger and hatred inside of him but had a lot of possibility to get around it and do some real good. Ah, what may have been.

If I wasn't front row I would have been much more upset over the fact that I gave some random rear end in a top hat my phone to store while the show was going on. There was a lady sitting a few seats to my left that was openly using her phone, and my friend had a theory that she may have been a plant. The handheld camera guy would focus on her A LOT compared to most of the other people just a few seats away.

Recipe, by Robin Quivers 2 cups wine, pour in glass. Set aside. 1 telephone $115,000 Using the telephone, call up your favorite contractor. Order $100,000 in professional kitchen appliances. Wait six months. Speak often about "chard", this will plant the idea that you are serious. When your new kitchen is installed, use the telephone and hire an expert chef to teach you how to cook. Give them $10,000 for an afternoon's session. Ignore everything they tell you, write a book about your experiences. Use remaining $5,000 to hire a professional caterer who is willing to let you take credit for the successful garden party. Baste with wine as needed.

I was listening to old Howard shows from late 90's and I came across the AJ Benza/Stuttering John fight which is awesome in itself but after everything calms down and they are taking callers, a girl calls up and says you know this would never happen if Artie Lange was on the show. She goes on to say how nice and calm Artie is and Artie doesn't hate anyone. That blew my mind.

I've been slowly listening to the week after the break on N&A, and either Artie is bi-polar (and on the high), or back on something. He almost sounds like he's on speed.  I sure hope I'm wrong.

I'm not sure if he is doing the actual typing of the queets or not. I forget the context, but on last night's show in a moment of frustration he admitted to knowing how computers work. The fact that he is at home in the mornings watching The View and queeting about it is some weird poo poo.

That was hilarious, I crack up every time that happens. But mainly I used to be upset Howard would queue up callers and let them call guests racial slurs without anything else behind it other than slurs. I guess letting people hate is just part of talk radio, but it was my least favorite part of his show. He is a good interviewer and I think he pulled that poo poo just to be a "shock jock". Also letting Gilbert and Artie run rampant over the news is always hilarious too.

I have probably listened to the Niggerwhat segment close to 100 times. It's what got me addicted to Stern. This probably means I am a miserable racist rear end in a top hat but so be it. Have a little respect for the friend of the family.
