  1. I don't like how everyone calls their music "funky" or "funk" music, when what they mean is you can dance to it. The specific meaning of the word "funk" needs to be protected and used way more judiciously.

    It particularly bothers me when people describe curtains or vases as funky. I also hate when people refer to those things as being "fun".

  2. Definitely a smart move to take the kotd battle seriously, given that several thousand people are going to see it.

     

    I wish you'd gotten to use some of those rebuttals, that would've taken it to another level of slaughter. But the disses were all hilarious, the "history has a strange way of repeating itself" bit - str8 vicious!

     

    You must feel like a king reading all those comments!

     

     

     

    lol

  3. I never had a snes growing up, hence I think, my mild fetish for those kind of games. I wanted Donkey Kong Country so bad in those days, I guess I'm going to have to get the new one.

     

    The Wii seems to me to not have a great deal of good games, which suits me fine as I don't play that much, and I don't really want to be tempted to play much more. I don't really care about the other stuff. I was prevented from buying an x box because I used to hate those chunky old controllers. The new ones seem ok though.

  4. Not for me I think.

     

     

    This is more me. Those shooting games are like the uncanny valley. They're so almost real it's like the'yre super unreal.

     

    Looks fucking incredible!

     

    I just got done playing Mario Galaxy 2. As a general rule, the bluer the sky, the more I'll like it.

  5. no fuckin way man, did you tell me this when i met ya?

    i thought you were good man. where was the gig?

     

     

    in all seriousness i've always wanted to do standup, been a ridiculous comedy nerd since sneakin up at night to record the montreal comedy festival when i was 9 or 10. i know its the usual mates tell you and shit and people i work with, and i do look like PJ Gallagher the irish comedian and have been stopped in the street by people so i'm already accustomed to the lifestyle.

    i'm always writing jokes, used to have a book with quite a few written down, but then thought no i should write a script and shit, but obviously did nothing. my girlfriend is really good at writing jokes too and was supposed to write something for her mates comedy troupe "the diet of worms"

     

    chilled with dstyles the night after his gig in dublin and he said that i should do standup.. probably the proudest moment of my life.

     

    call into the shop you maniac, i'lll be havin another scratch night in the shop with moschops & djackulate soon.

     

    again fair fucks

     

    Cheers dude!

     

    I think I neglected to mention it when we were chatting.. The gig was in August 2009, the second round of the Bulmers comedy competition. I did not make it to the third. It was upstairs in Doyles on College Green.

     

    Man, I really think you should give it a go. When it goes well there's not much better. I always suspected you might have it in you. Broadly speaking there are two types of comedian: people whose mates tell them they're funny and students of comedy. If you're both it bodes well!

     

    I did one of these workshops: http://standupireland.com/workshops.html#groupof3or6workshops

     

    It will teach you nothing you don't already know, and a lot you'd be best to forget, but it gives you some like minded people to bounce ideas off as you try to construct a set and a safe place to gradually acclimate yourself to the idea of going on stage.

     

    Or if you want to just book yourself a few gigs, I can point you in the right direction.

     

    I don't know/haven't seen the diet of worms, but I saw Shane Langan once and he was really good.

     

    And that's incredible about D-Styles!

  6. Cheers dudes!

     

    Dirk, notice how in Ireland I have to preface Nas with "the rapper"?

     

    Yeah Vekked, unfortunately I was going for "dynamic" here but ended up at largely inaudible.. What's up with you anyway?

     

    Man, when I did this set I thought I was the absolute shit. Looking at it now with a bit of distance, there are some gaping holes in my game. I've taken a bit of a break from stand up over the past while, I need to get back on my grizzly!
