He is one of my absolute favorite comedians. That special is so great!
yeah i need to listen to some of his other specials, as I love him in everything he's in. That episode of Louie where he told the story of his road gig north of NYC is one of my favorite Louie episodes.
I got to see him perform about 10 years ago (really can't believe it's been that long, oh boy) at The Bell House in Brooklyn. It was one of Eugene Mirman's special things. He did a lot of crowd work then, but he also had a lot of really great jokes and one liners.
That was also the same show Gibby Haynes tried to do stand up, but instead got assaulted while on stage for saying slightly offensive things.
has there even been a fun baby shower? (no, there hasn't. they're the worst.) it's time to start planning a shower for my sister, and i keep wavering between "i'm going to go to party city an hour before and just stick blue things on the wall" and "i'm falling into the depths of pinterest and baby showers are my life now." i settled on a theme and made two options for invitations today. does anyone have suggestions for an activity or something to make it semi-interesting?

I HATE baby showers. I understand their importance, though. Having your first child looks to be incredibly stressful and many other negative adjectives.
One of my best friends has a baby boy (he's 2 now, is he really still a baby? That's a different discussion). Her baby show was the best I've been to. No games. NONE. Just food and cake and presents. We all entered a pool for when she would actually have the baby, but absolutely none of this stupid fucking baby shower game. It was just a few hours to be social and shower the happy parents with gifts.
Someone bought those wall clings/stickers that form a tree. Everyone at the shower wrote a little note on a leaf. Now the tree and leaves are on his wall above his crib/bed. His grandma also stamped his name onto onesies and hung them across the gift table. Now the onesies hang in his room too, above his clothes.
Baby shower games are the absolute worst.
Disclaimer edit: I have had a few adult beverages this evening. Apologies for any nonsense.

Guys. This is definitely the wrong place to ask this but seriously.
I REALLY want to go to Panorama on Sunday. Specifically just to see LCD Soundsystem. I have to work until 4:30 at the latest, though. Please talk me down from this pretty expensive ledge.

You need to make a piñata! That would be interesting and fun!

we had lots of champagne and food for the guests. baby games were planned but we abandoned that pretty quickly. I second heyyitskait, just food and gifts and fellowship. Though if you are feeling creative, on Gilmore Girls they had people decorate onesies, that seems like it could be pretty fun and provide some unique gifts. and you can never have too many onesies with newborns.
i should mention that my sister is out of her gourd and has OVER 60 PEOPLE on the list she sent me. making a piñata is definitely in my plans, even if only for decoration. i was originally planning on a onesie decorating thing, but buying 60 onesies is too much on top of the other expenses. since that's not really an option anymore, i like the "guest book" idea heyyitskait, so there is some kind of keepsake for the kid's room.
Just hung out with most of the people I went to bonnaroo with. Had an amazing time laughing and talking about our bonnaroo experiences. It was bitter sweet though because I know I might not see some of them until next year

My mom has a sort of business doing this type of thing (in northern Allegheny County no less). She has a bunch of vintage pieces that she can use, she's good at coming up with themes and decorating, etc. I can PM you her business facebook if you are really interested, you could at least get ideas from there or if you wanted you could even message her...

Awesome, our airBnB for Toronto this weekend just cancelled on us. Six guys, right across from the Rogers Centre for Blue Jays games, leaving tomorrow...

that would be great, thank you! i could always use more ideas.
I went to one recently I actually had a great time at because it was basically just a BBQ. There was a table of onesies and bibs you could color, but there was no pressure to complete one. They didn't make us stop the party to sit around and watch her open presents which was my favorite part. It was almost just your average BBQ and it was by far my favorite one to date.
Also, I admit that I don't really follow comedy. That #1 joke on the list that Dave Maynar posted reminds me of my parents favorite joke. "We don't drink anymore...
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Yeah, the baby shower for my brother's kid was basically a potluck. They had a keg, and it was the first time I ever had chili with black olives in it. That's about all I remember (not because I drank a lot, just because it was like 12 years ago and I only stayed like half an hour because there were a million people there I didn't know).

That sounds awesome. I hated opening gifts in front of people at my baby shower years back. I think it's just awkward for everyone.

It really is. My baby shower was so long ago that I don't really remember what we did, but I remember awkwardly opening presents in front of friends and co-workers at my mom's house and it being awful. Of course, I hated being pregnant and those are the only photos of me pregnant, so that might have influenced my hatred of the whole thing. I will always find an excuse to skip baby showers and bridal showers, both of those things are the worst.
Weddings I skip too, but mostly because I hate that I was in a relationship for 13 years and he didn't want to get married (or didn't want to marry me, however you want to look at it). Maybe once I have one I will feel differently, but for now fuck all those people that get engaged and have weddings.
what are your go-to pump up/gym songs? I'm working on my workout playlist and it's too much odesza, phantogram, and rufus du sol at the moment..
PS. baby showers suck. not as much as *wedding showers* because at least baby showers serve a purpose.
Jock jams.
Edit:. I don't like headphones when I work out, so I just listen to the gym music. This morninng they've been on an 80's kick. Men at work, Corey Hart, scorpions, white snake. It's been pretty bad. But better than the bro country that's usually on. Or what I can only describe as a Flo Rida Pandora station they play sometimes.
Double edit:. In high school and college we would always play AC/DCs back in black album before soccer games. Daft Pink Alive 2007 took over that role when it came out, especially before beer pong tournaments.

My husband and I were together for 14 years before we got married. He was basically ambivalent about it. If I had ever pushed for it, he'd have agreed with no hesitation, but he was never, ever going to propose and there was never going to be an "engagement." I brought it up a couple times and even started to look into planning it, but weddings are so expensive and it wasn't really super important to me, so it didn't happen for a long time.
The main reason we decided to go through with it was because of the Affordable Care Act. He needed health insurance and it was cheaper and easier to get married and put him on mine than it would have been to get him independent insurance. We are super romantic.

Oh my ex just wasn't about it period. People would ask us when we were getting married, and I would answer if he would ever ask, I'd say yes. He had some line about how we choose to be together and the door is always open if I didn't want to be in the relationship. After shit really went downhill and we ended up having this huge discussion, I asked him if things were like they were before would he marry me? He asked if that is what all the problems were about, but wouldn't answer the actual question... Like that is the stem of our issues, not the sweeping issues under the rug for years just to never talk about ever again, or the fact he would get drunk and tell me all these horrible things about myself or the fact that he drank every single night and never compromised. I am not claiming innocence in the whole ordeal, because lord knows I am difficult to live with and can be a bitch. But after I left, it became really clear that after all those years together he was just waiting for me to leave, he would have stayed miserable together and never pushed the issue just living like that.
We broke up on a Wednesday, I signed a lease to my current place on Friday and was out by Sunday. He never once said he didn't want me to leave, never said he wanted it to work or that he loved me. Just told me more horrible things about how he felt about me, and how horrible of a person I was and that he should have left me years ago. We would talk (argue) months after and I would watch the puppy I didn't take with me here and there, but he would either be an asshole or tell me that I did the right thing. He also told people all sorts of mean, spiteful, untrue things about me and would tell me he was doing it.
Looking back I see all the signs and wish I would have wised up years earlier, but hind-sight being 20/20 and all that bullshit. Also, I wouldn't have met Jeremy if I left earlier or if I stayed. Jeremy fights for me, wants to spend time with me and gives me all the things I never realized I was missing. We discuss arguments afterwards and come to compromises/agreements about those disagreements. Plus, Jeremy wants to marry me and we actually talk about the future and make plans, it is crazy. I didn't know it was supposed to be like this.

jock jams is a given, DUH. and I do need more daft punk.
the gym I'm using in pittsburgh is actually decent, but I still prefer to have control over it/don't like listening to the grunting.

Mine has lots of Run the Jewels as well as Daft Punk's Alive 2007 album on it, and I find that they get me pumped up the most. RTJ is just aggressive as fuck and DP is pretty high-energy. Mostly everything else is singles, but I've got a few Kanye songs, some Beyonce, Jamie xx, a little Major Lazer. Anything with a steady and hard-hitting four-on-the-floor beat is preferable to me, especially if I'm running.
Edit: Just saw that snowman already recommended Alive 2007. That man knows what's up.
