[Arachno-capitalist]

You know, the whole internet meme thing has become like the worst possible realization of SNL catchphrases. It's like every day the internet screams at me "The Nabunator! Makin' the copies! Nabu-doodle-doo! Copying things! The Brush-Man!"

I wish I was dead. Or I wish I were dead. Either may be used.

Is that seriously the correct english construction? It sounds dubious as to whether you wish you had been dead and then brought back, like via necromancer magic.

[wombat]

Which construction are you questioning? I hope it's the second one, I'd like to think that the fussy old English subjunctive is dying out with You Kids Today.

But what I wish is that I had the slightest idea what the rest of Nabu's post meant.

[Nabubrush]

Here ya go. And may God have mercy on your soul.

Well, now I am even more confused... Wasn't Saturday Night Live a show that was supposed to be funny?

[jough]

I've seen Saturday Night Live many times, but I don't remember it ever being funny.  I thought it was a compendium of "think pieces" wherein people would present performance art pieces.

[Nabubrush]

It all went downhill after "I would like to feed your fingertips to the wolverines".

[jay-ell]

It all went downhill after Gilda left. 

[AugustWest]

Poor Gilda.  What a loss.

I remember Bobby Isosceles saying that he was going to wait until Onstad lost interest in the premium assetbar before signing up and downloading all the content. News about content made me think that the time is right. Now, Bobby, now. Except you're baleeted.

I paid for it, downloaded the PDFs (haven't looked at them yet), and have no regrets.

While reading this announcement I just noticed the Shop link is gone entirely.  Has it been like that for a while and I'm just noticing? I assume this means I'll never get that cookbook I paid for last year.

I've been paying since he started it. While I don't love that the segmentation into paid-for and not, the man has given me many a chuckle and there are far too many strips that are etched into my memory. In return for that, I'm willing to toss the occasional shiny dollar in his direction.

The chapbooks that he posted t'other day are some pretty tough chuckles. Except without the chuckles. From reading them, I can only imagine that the dude is going through some tough times. I've got some good friends who suffer from the dark dog and reading those chapbooks feels rather like deja-vu. Even Roast Beef seems happier than Onstad does.

I think I noticed that a couple of weeks ago.

Chris may want to speak to his physician about Abilify.

Also:  What is the point of reviewing a concert?  It's over.

so you can say "I saw them back when they were good."
