You are a natural. Very excited about your new (ad)ventures. Tell your dad his investments (food, rent, car repairs are more than worth it.

You are awesome. Watching that video, I would think you’d been doing stand up for years. I pooped out a hand displaying a thumbs up sign.

Why you are not writing for the Daily Show or some other comedy outlet is beyond me because this shizzle is for rizzle funny. I apologize now for writing both “shizzle” and “for rizzle.” I have no idea what is wrong with me.

But your writing–g*ddman is it awesome.

Comment on Democracy is Awesome by speaker7

This is the greatest description of a Democratic caucus I’ve ever read in my life. How do I know? Because I’ve never read a Democratic caucus article past the headline and I read this whole darn thing and laughed uproariously. Favorite line hands down: “Bram got the boot because his name reminded voters of vampires.”

This reminded me a little of the 40 Below summit we attended. Do you remember the inspirational speech TV anchor Matt Mulcahey gave? Yeah, I don’t either.

Actually Dan, I’m reading it too. And I thought it was well-written and on the mark for what a lot of people are experiencing today. And for the record, I don’t know Lauren personally – I just know her work from 7Days and followed this link from her twitter feed. So Dan, speak for yourself, OK?

It’s fitting that there is only one comment to this blog post; this one. No one is reading your stuff anymore Lauren. Once you get over yourself and leave your ego and obnoxiousness at the door, a lot of doors will actually open for you. As someone who hires a lot of people, I’ll tell you right now the worst thing you’ve got going for yourself is you. Grow up, get some therapy, and turn your shit around. I don’t want to pay your health care and unemployment for much longer, it’s tiring.

Your snarky bullshit finally caught up with you. When I see you bagging groceries at city market, I’ll be sure to say ‘told you so’.

“I’d rather take a chance on the unknown than be penned in, unsupported and censured. If that sounds vague and mysterious, it’s meant to.”

That doesn’t sound vague or mysterious at all. More like a burning bridge.
