Social WR Lounge v262: Pansy Division

[essie]

Sorry to hear it. I worked as a group counselor in a residential facility for teens. Shit pay. Human misery. Fuck that.

No need to be sorry. I didn't ever expect to go down this road and I always thought film would be where I made my career but my father is a psychologist and worked at methadone clinics and prisons so growing up that kind of care was central to a lot of what he taught me so falling into this work makes sense. I like it.

See, to me that would be a tough job to do.

Like I said it can be tough emotionally but I have the most respect for people who do manual labor.

I'm so used to being myself regardless of who's around I don't think the stage would be the hard part. But I hate traveling and being far from home ...that shit makes me miserable. I don't even like going on vacation.

I don't like vacationing but I love staying in hotels lol.

 

[Gutter Chris]

That's how I've felt since moving to HI. I've only traveled for family and concerts. Dafuq else I wanna be that I'm gonna leave my dogs and spend money?

Yea dude I hate leaving my dogs. That's one of the major things I get stressed out over.

I just wanna go hang out on the river and come home and sleep in my own bed.

God bless then. Less human interaction the better for me.

What happened with cinematography? Didn't pay the bills or your heart wasn't in it or...?

Yea my wife tells me I'm terrible at it. I'm not real good at just sitting and relaxing at all and I just get super anxious about what's going on back home. I like to be in Wayne County at all times where everything is normal I speak the language and I know where everything is

Agoraphobic?

Anyways. Guys like George Carlin, Richard Pryor and prime Eddie Murphy were great. Chappelle's Killin Them Softly is classic. Doug Stanhope has some gems too. I liked his take on suicide.

Yea dude if you gotta be somewhere else ya can't beat a decent hotel. Ill be up at 6 am smashing waffles . I'm not saying I never leave home just that I am anything but chill if I do.

I am not sleeping in a fucking tent for fun I'll tell ya what. And if it's after mid August don't even consider asking.

After the cold war ended, Jakov Smirnoff's jokes didn't have the same zing to them.

Had to google him, but to be honest it's pretty rare for me to find American shows, stand up or movies funny (at least the ones that make it over here).
For the life of me I never understood how anyone would find Mork and Mindy, Seinfeld, the Cosby Show or Married With Children amusing at all. At least with South Park, Rick and Morty and The Simpsons they were funny for a few episodes. I did find Robin Williams stand up funny though (not that I've seen much of it), likewise Eddie Murphy.

Yea but not to a point where I completely shut down and have a full blown panic attack. Just can't relax. The further from home or the longer I'm away the worse it gets.

I fear that the very nature of this medium lends itself to my reflex of crass shorthand. I'm sure that standup comedians go through a lot. I just get pissy about certain things lol.

Those are very different shows lol
Also, Married With Children had some of the best insults ever
"How dare you say that to my face!"
"Well I'd say it behind your back but my car only has a half tank of gas!"

 

[essie]

Seeing Rory on Ariel's show made me really feel sad. I remember the feeling I had about him going into the second Lawler fight, I was certain he would be UFC champ for a long time. It feels like he just disappeared after leaving.

I used to describe myself as a "blue collar whore", but now just stick to my trades: plumber, gas fitter, boiler guy. In my early 20s I worked at a place taking care of mentality handicapped people and trying to give them some sort of a normal life out in the community. Not for me thanks. I do better when the problems I'm faced with have a clear solution and I'm the only human variable involved, or in the way.

My buddy has worked in film and tv and I always said that I couldn't be in a situation where I was always wondering where my next check was coming from. Something to be said for steady work.

I might not have seen the best they had to offer, but all they got from me was a feeling of mild embarrassment.

I don't like vacationing but I love staying in hotels lol.

I posted a sort-of poem i saw online here about why hotels are so existentially gratifying. I'll fuck it up if I try to recreate it, but the gist of it was that, because the hotel room stimulates your senses in so many ways (the feel of the sheets, the sound of the AC, the smell of detergent) and yet is so empty and is a retreat from your usual life, it's outside of time, with endless present and no future nor past.

It was unique for the time in that the story was about a family of total losers lol. Al Bundy is a relentless jerk and the world never stops shitting on him. The continuing gags about him fighting with large women always got me.

"Peg, if you wanna have sex, the kids will have to leave. And if you want it to be good, you'll have to leave."

It is amazing to think if not for The Simpsons and Married With Children, Fox would have failed

BIG women, tiny shoes. Lol.

That poor bastard at least has those 3 touchdowns to look back on.
