the corpse of god is love.






I mean, hitting the head before a shower is always nice but if I have to use the bathroom at work I don't wig out and rush home to scour my anus with a wire brush and some bleach. You're exposed to nasty germs every second of every day so what the gently caress is the point.

Reminds me of an episode of one of those obsession shows on TLC about a woman who would shower for hours every time she went to the bathroom, even going as far as putting a toothbrush in her anus.

I think any potential health benefits of shoving a toothbrush up your rear end (if there are any to begin with) are outnumbered by the potential health hazards of SHOVING A TOOTHBRUSH UP YOUR rear end.

Her comment was that she didn't feel clean until she started seeing blood. :barf:

Well, you gotta keep your rear end in a top hat clean 24/7 just in case this is the day your wife licks it

Howard always talks about "going to Mexico" but it's the saddest rich white rear end in a top hat places that he visits.
Howard couldn't hack real Mexico where the plumbing is so bad that there's a can full of used toilet paper next to the toilet itself because you can't flush ANYTHING that isn't poo poo or piss.

There were a few great Gilbert appearances where they wound up spending most of the time goofing on Ratso. :allears:


Edit: And dammit, the Stern show playing in the background right now (1995-08-10, the day after Jerry Garcia died) just had at least five minutes of Howard trying to figure out how to use those paper toilet-seat covers.

The interview with Dave Atell today was kind of depressing. I always liked the guy but it seems like his career is not far from Yukko or Bob Levy territory these days.


I don't know why, but there seems to be very little gray area with stand up comedians. You either hit it big and get into another industry like tv or movies, or you become a bitter, burnt out husk.

Dave had huge success with Insomniac, so he quit drinking and went back to the "pure" life of a road comedian. Self-sabotage par excellence. Yukko and Bob Levy never had any success to throw away. Oh, Brickleberry.

Wow, just caught the 1st show of the year on youtube, you guys were not kidding about the hacky jokes. In 6 minutes there were Mayan apocalypse jokes, Patriots jokes and high comedy "Kim Kardashians rear end is going to get even bigger when she's pregnant!"

I haven't given Howard credit for much in years, but even he's better than this.

Yeah, but the attitude in the studio wasn't that this was overkill, but that he was crazy for not just showering again. Stern's dump neuroses have completely infected everyone on that show.

I want to think that they're lying just so they don't finally snap when harassed on the air about it. At some point you have to wonder what these people talk about when Howard leaves the building.

Doesn't that happen either way? Artie kinda hit it big and got really lucky, and he's still a miserable gently caress. Granted, I don't recall anybody who wrote for Seinfeld being in the news for drug problems, but generally comedians are a pretty sad bunch.

Bigfoot Jr's one and only decent bit was his massive argument with ETM a month or two ago as someone else mentioned. He received little airtime today which was bearable and it sounded like he wasn't well received; hopefully we don't hear this poo poo anytime soon. I'd rather hear JD blabber through a bunch of nonsense for an hour.

The Stern Staff wiki article is great.

Eric's Twitter war has been hilarious. Literally any time you checked his Twitter feed over the past two weeks, you'd find him angrily denying that he was gay, that he was in the KKK, that he wore diapers, that he and Jon had gotten married, that he had been in the hospital to remove a blockage from his colon, that his father was a hermit crab. It was the same topics over and over again and yet he felt the need to respond to every single tweet, lest one sneak by and the masses leap on it as evidence that "OMG ERIC REALLY IS IN THE KLAN HE DIDN'T DENY IT!"

He finally posted that he's just going to ignore everyone. It's been two days, and nary a peep. No telling how long he'll hold out.

He enjoys it more than he's letting on. He wants to be angry so he has a purpose in his life that isn't sitting at his computer wishing he could attract women. The sad thing is that Eric isn't that hard to control. He's desperate and attention-seeking. It wouldn't be that hard to block him from the show until he does something embarrassing, then lead him on for a few days until he's suddenly persona non grata again. He's such an rear end in a top hat that seriously loving with him would really produce some good radio. It's not like he will vanish and never call the show again.

Johnny Fratto's first appearance was pretty good, because he was an interesting new voice and had some interesting stories to tell. But he lost his appeal in record time. It almost immediately became Fratto trying to recapture the excellence of his first appearance. Then it became Fratto as the West Coast Dominic Barbara, doing poo poo like hiring KC and supporting ETM so he could get onto the show.

Totally agree. The segment had a nice laid back vibe instead of Howard rushing Robin through the news and groaning that he can't leave yet.

Fred had me cracking up when he started playing In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Although, I think the pothead line is just a cover for a lot of callers who gently caress up their question.
