BRAND NEW SHOW May 2, 9, 16
Other than that, your sentiment was a breath of fresh air. Let me just say: THANK YOU. Thank you for taking notice in how seriously I take my movie-going experience. The half-assedness I regularly witness on the part of my fellow movie patrons is unbearable, so it's nice to know I have a kindred spirit out there. I mean where's the commitment? Where's the applause after every joke, or action sequence? Show a little class, is all I ask.
I'm big on class-asking. For example, proper movie decorum insists that you buy appropriate merchandise BEFORE a bigtime movie. What's the point in that "Finding Nemo" coffee mug if you're not going to drink delicious, delicious Cherry Coke from it at "Finding Nemo" itself? What, are you going to drink from it at "Elf"? Get real, bozo.
Some people say getting to "Gothika" 90 minutes ahead of time is assinine. I say they are lazy.
Some people think my Snowcap dispenser is excessive. I say they haven't tasted a snowcap until it is individually dispensed.
Some people laugh at me. I cry, but I know I'm right. At least, I think I am. No, I am. I am a good person. I am a good person. I am a good person.
It's tireless, it's thankless and it's grueling at times but knowing that you appreciate that means all the world to me, Tina. I only wish I could give myself breaks like that. I'm too hard on myself. No I'm not. Dammit Geoff, shut up.
So which song was it? Well, we do have a penchant for songs that have been recorded in the last year, so that narrows it down to several hundred thousand. And we do usually play American pop songs. Which narrows it down again to several hundred thousand. But they're usually the type of pop songs that are played on pop radio, which if we look at Z100's play-list narrows it down to about five songs.
Since I don't know who this Stacie Orrico is, and Maroon5 sounds like something my grandpappy would have for breakfast, I'll have to guess it's probably "Move Your Feet," by Junior Senior.
Or "Bigger Than My Body" by John Mayer.
Quick true story about John Mayer. A friend of mine was standing on the street the other Monday morning, when a drunk John Mayer approached him with a plastic cup full of martini, asking him which way Chelsea was, because he lived there. He then said that he had been drunk since the previous Thursday, and wasn't gay, but would turn gay for my friend. Hilarious part is, my friend had NO IDEA who John Mayer was.
John Mayer: Cute, Sensitive, Talented, and DRUNK. Go get him, ladies.
Although, if we defined popular as, "Widely liked or appreciated," I'd have to concede that Michele A'Court, Phil Adams, Chris Anderson, Ezquiel Balmori, TM Bishop, Mike Boon, Chris Brain, DB Brown, Jonathan Brugh, Dean Butler, Paul Campbell, Rob Callaghan, Andrew Clay, Jeremy Corbett, Benjamin Crellin, Bill Crisp, Rhys Darby, Dodge, James Elliot, Ete, Famous Famous, and Flight of The Conchords are all more popular than us.
Granted, if we defined popular as "Liked by acquaintances; sought after for company," I may venture that Terry Frisby, Tom Gilmartin, Ewen Gilmour, Gish, John Glass, Todd Hanford, P Funk Chainsaw, Lee Herbert, Jason Hoyte, Ben Hurley, Wade Jackson, Darren Jardine, Justin Kean, James Keating, Andre King, Mike King, Vaughan King, Grant Lobban, Tony Lofley, Brendhan Lovegrove, Tevitz Manukia, Brad McCormick, Simon McKinney, and Steve Mills are all more popular than we are.
But let's be honest. Popular is really defined as, "Fit for, adapted to, or reflecting the taste of the people at large," and really, that's more applicable to Tarun Mohabhai, Jesse Mulligan, Chris Naziris, Nick Nockolas, Sully O'Sullivan, Chris Parkin, Philip Patston, Irene Pink, Mark Pooley, Radar, James Raffan, Mark Scott, Micheal Shadbolt, Justine Smith, Kat Stephens, Jon Stubbs, Caroline Till, Jaq Tweedie, Caroline Waltz, Greg Ward, and Kate Ward-Smythe.
However, we are intensely more popular than Xprov. They suck.
So thanks for the advice, Bill! Also, we lost Chris when he decided to join a real-time Lord of the Rings interactive role playing game. And Geoff was killed by a Maori tribe. And Alex went to Australia because he can't tell the difference between the two countries. But Stefan and Jeff are having a great time. A great, popular, time.
"How come you never call, you never come home, and eat brisket?" is THREE QUESTIONS, Mother! Do you realize that? Do you know that in the first sentence alone you managed ask three questions on two entirely different and unrelated subjects? What would your audience of children ages 6 to 12 think if they read such an abomination in, oh, let's say, "Happy Passover Rosie?"
Speaking of Passover, that's a pretty random digression from asking me whether I'm a vegetarian, to accusing me of never coming home. I know where my home is, and it's NOT WITH YOU! Yes, I've left home Mother, and as much as you might say, "Don't Go," I WILL go Mother. I will!
But I digress. Let me take a moment, and answer your questions:
