Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

So I see Patton Oswalt is coming to town. Anyone seen him live?
Not in person, but evaluating his albums he's lost a lot on his fast ball over the years.

Yeah I'd kind of heard that. 25 to 65 per ticket but I'm feeling like a beggar these days (can't be choosy). I haven't been to a music event since October, it's been a better town for comedy the past few years.

No, his material has lost its bite. Maybe it's the mainstreaming of nerd culture, but his perspective isn't on the outside looking in all that often.

Picked up the Kids in the Hall complete set, looking forward to watching since I haven't seen it since it was regularly on CC. Watched the first few episodes and the thing that stands out most so far is the McKinney blackface. I don't remember that one!

Mississippi Gary? I remember it being howlingly funny, but I'm kinda scared to look at it again.

I think it would still be funny if he just played it as a white bluesman...the jokes are there, but the presentation...well...

I just watched it and it's still funny to me—tho how much of that is the power of nostalgia?—but, yeah, the minstrel presentation detracts.

“Here to tell us more about it is the shows creator Alice Clunt”.
“It’s Alice Fluck”.
“Right, I see what I have done”.

Alan Partridge back to his best in This Time.
Brilliant.

I have been wanting to get caught up, I love Partridge. Although, I think my favorite of his work might be Saxondale.

I've tried watching that several times and never been able to get sufficiently comfortable/intrigued to stick with it.

It's obviously super driven by his character. I guess he resonates with me. Since I'm a washed-up roadie.

Not true! Or were you a roadie?
