I'm pretty sure I'm the only person I know who's been rooting for Miami in the playoffs.

Ironically, here in Texas everyone I know rooted for the Heats over the Spurs.

I'd beg to differ...

Throw away but true:

As a kid and young man I wore monogrammed PJ's from Land's End and wore a monogrammed robe to breakfast before getting ready for the day.

As an adult I try to wear my worst pit stained t-shirt and a ten year old pair of boxers to bed. My wife and neighbors are lucky if I wear anything when I eat breakfast and get ready for the day.

Another throw away:

It's difficult for comedians to get laughs at self deprecating jokes when they're so damned good looking.

Vulgar:

Girls need to cease with the phrase "I'll punt her cunt". It's not possible as even "the lingerie league" has taught us that women can't even make a ten yard field goal.

*I'd never, ever make a "crickets don't chirp joke"

Well, maybe a Jimminy the Cricket joke could work.







Worst joke writing night in weeks.

It just doesn't seem to be much of a payoff.

Maybe as part of a longer bit about attractive comedians? Self-deprecating is fine to an extent, but I hate when a comedian talks about how awesome and attractive they are in general, so you'd have to focus this on someone else.

How about just shortening this to a much shorter and simpler joke?

"Lingerie League"

There you go.

Oh, those are all throw away jokes with little premise. I've got thousands of 'em.

A few friends and I threw around some ideas tonight, shot them all down (and I mean all of 'em) but the best part about a circle of comedians joking around is just that....joking around.

Sometimes the worst throw aways are the funniest...not for a crowd, but for dicking around with friends. Even a simple response of "That's the worst f---king premise I've ever heard" can make for the funniest laughs (even when on face time or chatting on skype).

I like the idea of a job doing special effects for movies and such, but then again, that's not something I can really do while staying in Texas, now is it?

You would be surprised what all is in Texas.

The NBA is rigged and I'm ashamed I stayed up to watch that overtime.

In other thoughts: Sriracha can solve the world's problems.

In fairness, the NBA refs are pretty horrible across the board and every team has felt their incompetence. And don't be ashamed, that was a great game!

Are they replacement ref bad?

[Luke]

^ Yes. The Spurs were basically getting tackled in the last two minutes and if someone sneezed on a Heat player a foul was called. If I had money on the game I would have driven to Miami to find those jokes of referees. *

You know it was that bad of officiating when people on NPR are complaining about it.


edit* But how much money would the NBA and the team owners lose if there wasn't a game 7? Millions. Let that sink in.
