Mustard

Ketchup

Mayonaise

Hotdog Sauce

Ranch Dressing (WTF?)

I love Jim Gaffigan.  He's hilarious.  Love his bit about Bacon.

I watched several clips, I hadn't really seen him before. The little self-heckling bit he does is odd, but effective.

Of course, there are some things that are black and white, like if you put pineapple on a pizza, you should be arrested.

"its as if you could read what was inside of me!"

Jim Gaffigan is a guest on a radio show and attracts the attention of an assertive Christian woman who tries to impose her beliefs on him. Hilarity half-decent laughs ensues.

That reminds me of David Cross' bit about morning zoo radio shows

Ain't that the truth.  Drive time radio is the worst.

Indeed. Here's the full bit with a hilarious story:

oh man, this radio dude from the 90s introduced Pavement. He was a real-life troll.
We really couldn't figure out what he was trying to do. He just said a list of the things guaranteed to piss off the crowd. It was bizarre.

"you've gotta admit, Pitchfork and Lollapalooza are like the minor leagues, we're meant to help bands get better so they can move on to better things"
"wouldn't you all rather be at Lollapalooza? It's way better. Better venue, bigger bands. This festival is pretty lame, like, these bands aren't that famous or anything"
"downloading music is great, because soon all bands will have endorsement deals with products"
"the pavement you're seeing today is a shadow of what they used to be, when I was the first radio DJ to play them."
etc.

we think maybe he was trying to get some sort of "GET OFF THE STAGE, WE WANT PAVEMENT" chant going, but instead everyone just kind of booed and ignored him.

See, a troll is fine when he's doing something in real life and you can see him and he's just playing the manager of a bad guy wrestler or whatever.

It's when cowardly little nothings snipe in and out playing some idiot game and they're the only one playing it, that's when it is lame as shit.

This DJ sounds like he was just playing the standard Tony Clifton except a hipster Tony Clifton. Which is kind of a brilliant rejuxtaposition of the Clifton.

When we're all equal partners in a shared game with no harm and no foul, that shit's actually pretty fun.

Heckling at wrestling matches and baseball games where there are lines you don't cross and you're looking each other in the eyes as dudes and ladies, that shit is fun as hell.

[theinevitable]

it was just really unclear what the point of this was.

I am really bad at ignoring trolls.

[littlefallsmets]

The point of it probably was that these hipper-than-thou indie showcases need to take themselves less seriously and, like, some old school dude and one of the bigger older bands there (Pavement was one of the few bands on that list I've heard of) probably thought that a little old school self-mockery would deflate some of the stifling pretense.

Sounds like it didn't work, I guess.

[theinevitable]

it was actually the least pretentious thing ever. i was amazed that 80% of the attendees were like "i am some college-aged dude in a t-shirt and jeans who likes bands." people were having fun and drinking beer and hanging out listening to bands they like.

Wait a minute.  I didn't realize it for a second, but I think yous've clicked on the wrong thread... ?

No, here's a breakdown of the wander.

Tacos > Venison Tacos > Gamey Venison > Tacos vs Tostatas > Bean Tacos > Moe's Restaurant > Bean Tacos are not Tacos > Pineapple Pizza > Jim Gaffigan > Jim Gaffigan on Morning Radio > David Cross lampooning Morning Radio DJs > Morning Radio DJ MCs Pitchfork Festival > Music

Paul is working on a master's thesis in the field of thread wandering analysis.

[jay-ell]

I'm laughing out loud. That was a great summary, Paul, and the rest of you are insane.

Back on topic, my brother-in law (this one) is bringing his family to supper this weekend, and I'm going to make the thing I call "fajitas," which is a big stack of hot soft flour tortillas and enough ground beef, sour cream, shredded cheese, lettuce, sauteed onion, and picante sauce to bury a large mammal. Authentic? Not by a long shot. But great for casual dinner guests, especially when kids are involved. Family style, roll your own, I'll be flipping quesedillas on request.

Yum.

[AugustWest]

Ground beef?  That makes 'em tacos, not fajitas.
