Another edition of “No one in my family will think this is funny”

I uploaded this video to the Atom Tournament.  Every view gets us closer to winning money and prizes and a chance to be on Comedy Central.  It’s 30 seconds long and called Sluts Can’t Die so that’s a win.

“I know older men in comedy who can barely feed and clean themselves, and they still work. The women, though, they’re all ‘crazy.’ I have a suspicion — and hear me out, because this is a rough one — that the definition of “crazy” in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one wants to fuck her anymore.”

—Tina Fey in The New Yorker

Most of the time, woman are either bitches or crazy and then a small percentage of the time, we are crazy bitches.

Every morning, I make the drive from my home in Silver Lake to my office in Playa Vista. My main route of transportation to work is the 101>110>105; coming home, I use 10>110>101.

This morning, I saw a giant Farmers Insurance blimp hovering over the 110 near the spot of the proposed stadium. It infuriated me to no end.

I suddenly had visions of unthinkably horrible traffic jams backing up the 5, the 110, the 10, the 101, Figueroa on weekends. I saw space being taken away from DTLA. I saw unused public transportation. I saw a lot of money being wasted on something very, very selfish.

More importantly — I saw my primary route to and from work being rendered essentially useless. I guess AEG expects us all to move away from DTLA and into the beach towns and the Westside so we can’t complain about the stadium. Some of us don’t like the beach towns, some of us can’t afford the wanton waste and luxury of the Westside.

Los Angeles DOES NOT — and I repeat, DOES NOT — need an NFL stadium. We have a stadium and a sports arena that sit unused 90% of the calendar year; we have a baseball stadium that already backs up Sunset Blvd. for miles on game day. Adding a football arena into the mix is, quite simply, a recipe for disaster — and possibly the end of Los Angeles as a livable city.

Introducing an NFL stadium to DTLA is the end of Downtown as we know it.

If anyone has any resources or information on active community protests, petitions and to whom letters of dissent in regards to the stadium project, PLEASE submit that information here and I will post it on this site.

Similarly, feel free to submit information regarding city council and city planning meetings related to the stadium project so we can be sure this WILL NOT happen to this otherwise wonderful city.

Do people understand that while building a stadium will cost the taxpayers money, most stadiums lose money for the city meaning NOTHING GOOD WILL COME FROM THIS.

You Know Who Else, Etc. of the Day: The Redditch Borough Council is presently mulling over a plan to use heat generated by the local crematorium in order to warm up the swimming pool at the Abbey Stadium Sports Centre, thus saving £14,500-a-year on heating bills. Not surprisingly, some people have a problem with this.

“I don’t know how comfortable people would feel about the swimming pool being heated due to the death of a loved one,” Simon Thomas, of Thomas Brothers Funeral Directors, is quoted as saying. “I’m not comfortable with it at all and I think trying to save money due to the death of someone’s family member or friend is a bit sick.”

A public meeting on the matter will be held this Thursday.

I have absolutely no problem with this.  Shouldn’t we encourage the circle of life?  Did the Lion King teach you nothing?  Also the only reason why people have a problem with this is because they know about it.  If they didn’t, they would say GREAT! A chance to save money and energy!

I doubt anyone in my family will find this funny…

I know it’s the owner who is speaking in the high pitched gibberish but I like to think it’s the bunny’s internal monologue.  Because that’s probably how rabbits sound.

I’m a native angeleno and Christmas is a little bit up in the air out here.  We don’t have many traditions, most of the town are transplants, and frankly Christmas is associated with snow.  Today, I found out that Irving Berlin’s “I’m dreaming of a white christmas” was written because he was living in Beverly Hills at the time and missed the snow. 

Here is the forgotten first verse of the song:

The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There’s never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, L.A.

But it’s December the 24th
And I’m longing to be up North…

I’m dreaming of a white christmas,
just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow

I honestly can’t find a version that includes this intro.  I say we bring it back as the Los Angeles Christmas Anthem?

Captain Kirk!…land Signature.  Beam me up for low prices and quality food.
