I know how to handle this! Hannibal Buress to the bur-rescue!

In the case of Dave Chappelle, it's a lot less than people expected.

I'm convinced that when he left his Comedy Central show and went to Africa to get back in touch with his roots, he was bitten by a radioactive Thurston Howell.

President Drink Bleach can also DRINK all he wants.

I mean, they're right. The internet really IS worse than ever, and I don't think the Dork Web (federated social media) does enough to fill the gap of Twitter at its peak ten years ago.

If you really want to play "get off my lawn," I'd suggest that the internet is also not as good as it was in the 1990s, where just being on suggested a level of competency with technology that no longer seems to apply. Yes, the download speeds were terrible and there was no YouTube, but 1990s internet was a literary pursuit. Now, it's largely visual, and tailor-made for short attention spans. Instead of mind-enriching, it's mind-draining, like television.

Better for us!

He said that? Eww.

I had a feeling the news was going to give Kbin and Lemmy a pants-ripping boner. Man, you should see the celebration over at BlueSky!

Yes, you did.We saw it. It was recorded. Stop lying, goddamn you.

Someone didn't remember the Alamo!

Witnesses remarked that it really was a small world after all.

They've vowed to switch to their other favorite cereal, Racist Bran.

Ironic as they're packed into every box.

Surprising that he stuck it out for this long. Well, rest in peace.

On a related note, anyone remember Pryor's Place? Kind of a Krofft attempt at Sesame Street, with puppets and about a half dozen characters, all played by Richard Pryor. (Yes, THAT Richard Pryor. Hey, George Carlin hosted the US version of Thomas the Tank Engine!)

The show was a little more, um, challenging than Sesame Street, with one kid being caught in the middle of a divorce. Instead of choosing to live with his mother or father, he asked to be raised by his grandmother. As a child of divorced parents myself, my reaction was "Uh, what? The kid doesn't get to CHOOSE his family arrangement in this situation. The court doesn't let him make ANY decisions. I can believe that half the cast all bear a striking resemblance to Richard Pryor and that these rotty-looking puppets are alive, but what you're showing now is straight up fantasy."

When I read The English Patient for a college course, One kept flashing through my head.

Better luck next time!

Now she'll satisfy her curiosity about the South Korean prison system.

Google's ads can lick my nads.

"You have chosen death"

Sounds like Jim Dykes in Alabama. He boarded a school bus, killed the driver, kidnapped a child, and hid himself in a bunker for days demanding to speak to the media. Eventually, the FBI raided the bunker, killing Dykes and rescuing the child. This piece of crap was very, very lucky indeed that he did not meet the same fate.
