Probably helps to be able to leach off your parent(s) lol

Don't think I don't remember that video of you secretly recording your family you were probably living with. And now you're in a halfway houae.

I haven't lived with my family since my early 20s. Me living in a halfway house is a result of going down the rabbit hole of addiction without a safety net.

I mean you're not that old.

? I'm 33. I didn't say I was old though....

A few years of living with in a trailer with your parents, a few years living in ****ty apartments you can't remember popping pills, and now you're in a halfway house. Not that many years of proud booze self-reliance.

Maybe you're forgetting how this argument started?

It wasn't with me bragging about my success in life, it was with you bragging about being such a "functional" alcoholic.

I merely pointed out the obvious fact that you live with your mom so it's pretty easy to be functional when you don't have to pay your own way. FTR I was also functional whenever I lived with my parent(s) ;).

I mean how many years were you a respectable man living on his own not a fiend? How much credit do you think you're owed for being a derelict paying rent?

I've literally never been a respectable man lol. You're grasping at straws and it's pathetic

You are still not getting it. You not falling into the true rabbit hole of self destructive addiction is not a sign of personal strength but rather a symptom of the comfortable life your mom allows you. Living in the suburbs on your parents dine drinking bum beer is undoubtedly the best life style any Steel Reserve drinker ever enjoyed... so count your blessings.

I mean it sounds like you're quantifying your respectable non-fiend time against my living with mother years to feel superior so clearly you feel like you have straws to grasp.

If I was doing so I would only need 1 single year of non fiend time to win that contest

But as I said before I wasn't bragging about myself I was giving you a reality check... Functional while not paying your own bills = not that functional. That's the bottom line.

Sounds like you are trying to win a contest and then adding a bunch of nonsense afterward to hide your narcissism. I wonder what your sponsor would have to say about that.

I don’t know the deets but my understanding is Bat contributes to his mom both emotionally and financially and gives way more than he takes. Not everyone who lives at home is a mooch.

Don't forget all the sex.

And the wheelchair dude!

I mean I'm willing to compromise and say we both lose if that makes it easier for you to digest.

I would hope he kicks in some rent money but bottom line is he wouldn't be "middle class" if he was on his own, he'd be just as poor as I am. So that's where my true resentment probably lies.

Are you calling me working class?

Right so anyway, here's a great bit that I've always loved.

patrice >>>>

anyone who doesn/t find him funny sucks at comedy

^case in point

name your top five comedians

Elph only ever posts in this thread to diss good comics I like such as chappelle and patrice cause he doesn't like their politics. He pretends its about the comedy but he has nothing to say about comedy. Its about the politics. Plus it's not goth to laugh. Stay sad, elf.

holy ****

as soon as the name Neil Young came out of his mouth I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe / then he NAILS the air guitar on Creep oh **** that was the funniest and some of the most incredibly apt music commentary I ever heard

gtfo if you don’t think that’s ****ing side splitting

:love:

so typical

I rarely find american comedians funny but yeah, this was pretty good.

I don't follow this thread enough to say anything about what jwb likes and why, but I think this is a pretty apt observation about (american?) comedy and why I don't like it. Most of what I've seen just seems very crude and that's all it is, there's no wit in it.

well it's obviously funny to many people, but it's loudest-guy-at-the-bar funny and that doesn't do it for me

Comedy doesn’t translate very well.

Although once in Japan I was in a bar with some other gaijin and a tv was on and it was a comedy show where they did this stunt where they created an entire 5K foot race just to trick this person into having thought he (or she? I can’t remember) won and while they were pumping their arms in the air in triumph they crossed over a breakaway cross way and they fell into a muddy pit and everyone gathered around pointing and laughing from above. It had me in stitches for the entire evening. I still crack up thinking about it. God what a gag.

Comedy is definitely very strongly tied to specific cultures, but in general I dislike similar kinds of comedy from other countries for the same reason. I think the issue is just that it's a relatively dominant form of comedy in america

I don't know what you mean by "they don't tell jokes"

Bill hicks doesn't ****ing tell jokes either. He goes through material. That's what real comedians do. You didn't explain how he lost it or why either he or patrice aren't funny they're just edgy for the sake of it and that's absolute horse**** so that's why it seems political to me. Everything you do and like is based on an image. I like bill hicks and patrice o'neal. I like comedy.

Patrice isn't edgy for the sake of edgy, he's brutally honest for the sake of comedy. People who don't like him usually can't take that kind of honesty.
