Is that the sixth call?

By muchagecko (Wed Jan 09, 2008 at 10:20:36 AM EST) kids fuss about the darnedest things (all tags)

Some mornings are rougher than others.

I just got off the phone with my boy again. He's having a difficult time finding pants to wear to school. He's really struggling.

I shouldn't be surprised, he and his sister stayed up really late last night uploading a bunch of new music and comedy bits on to their iPods. The dude would not go to sleep until he heard all of Dane Cook's Retaliation CDs (He loves the car alarm song).

Both kids got iPods for Christmas and last night was the first night we all had the time to organize all the mp3s. Tons of Dane Cook, Demetri Martin, Simpsons, OneRepublic (they have a cello!), and more.

At least the little dude will have a ton of new stuff to listen to on the bus this morning.

Old school by wiredog (4.00 / 1) #1 Wed Jan 09, 2008 at 10:45:17 AM EST

Richard Pryor. Bill Cosby (pre-1980 or so). George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words is a must.

: Funny you mention old school by muchagecko (2.00 / 0) #7 Wed Jan 09, 2008 at 11:07:15 AM EST

comics. A co-worker and I were talking about what we used to listen to. I remember Pryor - my bishop would NOT have approved my seeing his live show. I'm not sure if I want my kids listening to him now.
Carlin is a bit iffy for the kids also, although I'm sure I could glean bits of his schticks for the kids. For many years just mentioning 'meatcake' would crack me up.
Thanks

Try Buddy Hackett and Jackie Mason. Their shit still holds up, unlike most of the rest of the "Golden Age" crap.

The one good thing about Dane Cook by miker2 (4.00 / 1) #2 Wed Jan 09, 2008 at 10:48:30 AM EST

is that, in ripping off other comedians bits, he presents his audience with a sort of "best of" comedy routine. The bad part is he presents it as his own.

I didn't know. by muchagecko (2.00 / 0) #10 Wed Jan 09, 2008 at 01:39:33 PM EST

He is the brightest guy - maybe he doesn't realize that the material came from someone else.

Do you know who he's stolen from?

Louis CK, for one by miker2 (4.00 / 1) #15 Wed Jan 09, 2008 at 05:06:22 PM EST

There's a bunch of others that I've heard but can't recall. Google for 'dane cook steals', there's plenty of discussion about his 'borrowing' of material.

: I saw a comic last night by muchagecko (2.00 / 0) #18 Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 03:08:13 PM EST

on Comedy Central who said something like "now I'm ripping off Dane Cook". It's even funnier now that I know about Dane's rep.

Demetri Martin.

He loves me back for sure because he added me on myspace two years ago ;p

Hope your morning fares better lady. It's like spring time here. Weather is perfect. Good wishes for you!

So you were one of the 9000? Did he send you a valentine?

Hmm by anonimouse (4.00 / 3) #6 Wed Jan 09, 2008 at 11:05:25 AM EST

Not the person who I thought would be calling you six times this morning! :-)

I've lost track. How old is your son? I thought he'd be in the same house as you when getting ready for school.

He's just turned 8. by muchagecko (2.00 / 0) #9 Wed Jan 09, 2008 at 11:19:26 AM EST

He's my Asperger's guy.

I've got to be at work at 6:00 and the kids don't have to get out for buses, etc. until after 8:00. So most mornings they're waking themselves up.

You mean Mr. French can't walk Jody and Buffy to school? Isn't that the butler's job?
